Trinity has an ambitious program to enhance the engagement and enablement of all of the college community through a progressive digitalization of university services and the enhancement of core university systems. The Digital Trinity Infrastructure (DTI) Programme is a multi-million Euro enabling programme within Digital Trinity. DTI consists of four projects:

• DTI2: Future Hosting: Redesign of the College’s on-premises hosting infrastructure including compute, storage, network, backup, and disaster recovery services to include Azure cloud services.
• DTI3: NextGen Network: Replacement of the active wire data network in Trinity (border, core, distribution). Redesign of network and implementation of additional security features to mitigate the risk of cyberattack.
• NextGen Wi-Fi: Planning (only) for a Wi-Fi replacement to provide ubiquitous Wi-Fi 6E services across the entire university estate.
• DTI4: Phase 1: Identity Management: In place upgrade of the College’s central identity management service. Design of a new future-proofed identity service to integrate with Azure Identity management services.
• DTI5 Replacement (upgrade) Network Admission Control (NAC) system for students. An alternative solution to NAC will be considered as part of the NGN redesign work.

The Trinity website is the university's main communications and marketing platform, promoting Trinity to a global audience. The objective of the Web Transformation Project is to eliminate risk to the website and deliver a robust, scalable, and easy-to-use Content Management System (CMS) for the university. This in turn will improve and enhance the Trinity website with regard to security and compliance. It will ensure brand consistency through the use of consistent web templates and provide all college web authors with quick and easy publishing. It will also enable website functionality such as data capture, repurposing content, and personalisation which is vital in supporting Trinity's key objectives for student recruitment, research, and rankings.
