0:06 the way that we're going to bring our
0:08 campus to life digitally focused around
0:11 our student experience providing them
0:13 the tools and Technologies to uh
0:15 navigate our campus in a in a digital
0:17 way interconnect all of our services
0:19 across the university as well all geared
0:22 around our student experience something
0:23 that we can't do currently all in all
0:28 transformational
0:31 digital transformation for us was was
0:33 imperative we needed a a stable and
0:35 robust Network infrastructure first and
0:37 foremost Juniper came to us and actually
0:39 sold a a a bigger story a better picture
0:43 for us Juniper was uh very engaging with
0:46 us they really wanted to build a
0:47 partnership with the university the
0:49 technology was Forward Thinking
0:51 Innovative we felt confident in their
0:53 ability to look forward there was a lot
0:55 of innovation the Mist platform the
0:57 Marvis AI platform really really caught
1:00 our attention but fundamentally for us
1:02 one of the one of the other areas and at
1:04 the university is we we are aiming to be
1:05 one of the most sustainable universities
1:07 in the world and this was our first
1:09 procurement exercise where we scored
1:11 sustainability on par with cost and

1:18 commitment to sustainability through
1:20 their organization and the network
1:22 equipment that they are providing us as

1:31 infrastructure the self-correcting part
1:34 of the of the network infrastructure
1:35 which is going to support our teams to
1:37 support the network we're really coining
1:40 the phrase shift left we are really
1:42 moving our support function and
1:44 currently around 80% of our network
1:47 issues and go to our third line Network
1:49 specialist to resolve um the intent here
1:52 is that we we we shift that left so we
1:54 let the AI tool within the Juniper Suite
1:57 take the front of the issues and then
1:59 our service desk second line teams are
2:00 more skilled and un aable to resolve um
2:03 resolve the issues with the network
2:05 fundamentally we need people to not
2:07 notice that there's a network
2:08 infrastructure there it's a utility that
2:10 people need to to use and with juniper
2:12 we'll have
