Scope
Technology investments include broadcasting and business systems projects, infrastructure (including ISDN lines, computers, cabling, building works, monitoring equipment and software, transmitters) and technical equipment. This applies to all investments regardless of the source of funding. The policies, procedures and standards contained within Delivering Quality applies to all these types of expenditure. Therefore, broadly, if a studio is being refurbished, the fabric of the studio is not a technology investment, but the equipment it contains, links to application systems, and any specialised housing and environment for the technology infrastructure is technology spend.The BBC's Heads of Technology are responsible for the approval of technology investments in each BBC Division.
