The design, installation, and support
of the IT infrastructure for a network of digital production laboratories
Canllaw Online
By the late 1990s, after several years of under funding, youth services in Wales were not really reflecting the needs of an information society. Young people and the staff employed within the sector lacked both access to technology and the skills to utilise it meaningfully.
Having secured funding from a range of private and public sector sources, Fujitsu and Canllaw Online established the CREDU (Welsh for “to believe”) project. Its aim was to create a network of digital production laboratories, or Digilabs, that would use the latest technology and integrate fully with existing youth services in order to help create a socially inclusive, highly skilled and entrepreneurial culture for young people in Wales.
As the project’s technology partner, Fujitsu is responsible for the design of the IT infrastructure, the specification of equipment, the cabling, installation and commissioning of new Digilabs, and the provision of mobile engineering support.
