The University had the vision and courage to partner with one of the Caribbean's leading Multimedia and Multilingual firm, VILCOMM Services International Limited. This is  part of the University's strategic efforts  to accelerate the infusion of new technologies on campus.  The partnership has the following key features:

• The signing of a Memorandum of Understanding between UTech and VILCOMM on February 13, 1998
  

• Open interchange of information and expertise
  

• Joint publication of commercial CD-ROMs
  

• Training and Transfer of Multimedia skills to faculty and staff
  

• Establishment of a Multimedia Production Centre

By June 1999, the Centre's mandate had expanded to include the following:

• The design, development and maintenance of the campus web site
  

• The design, development and maintenance of the campus Intranet
  

• The research and deployment of new and enabling technologies across campus
  

• The integration of special projects within the scope of the New Strategic Plan for 2000-2004
