End-user device support

Abstract

This page provides guidance on what end-user devices should be supported by UIS services. We restrict the guidance to services intended to be consumed directly by end-users via either a website or an installed app.

This page is suitable for anyone involved in service delivery, procurement or co-ordination.

The Technical Design Authority recommends that the current Raven usage statistics be used as a guide to end-user devices used by members of the University. When procuring services, ensure that the maximum number of end-user devices are supported.

Ideally services will be Operating System agnostic; prefer services delivered over the Web to services which can only be accessed via a locally deployed application.

When procuring services which are available both over the Web and via a local app, be clear what functionality is present in both scenarios. Evaluate the product based on the intersection of the functionality, not the union.
