Consultancy Services 

"Glasgow commissioned the OBHE to undertake the institution-wide survey because of their knowledge and experience of conducting equivalent surveys elsewhere. The conclusions from the report have been detailed, frank and stimulating. We have found the report of great value in helping to formulate Glasgow's ICT strategy for the next five years". (Professor Mike MacMahon, Convener, E-Learning Group for the Information Strategy, University of Glasgow, UK)
