At UoA, would you please share
-Which software tools and technology are solely in Te Reo?
-Which IT hardware and software vendors conduct business in Te Reo?
-Which cloud platforms conduct business in Te Reo?
-Which digital services are conducted in Te Reo?

We have interpreted your request to refer to software applications. There
are approximately 1,200 software applications in use across the
University. Several applications support te reo Mâori learning or offer a
te reo Mâori interface. We are not aware of any software applications in
use at the University, that have a solely te reo Mâori interface.
-Which IT hardware and software vendors conduct business in Te Reo?
-Which cloud platforms conduct business in Te Reo?
-Which digital services are conducted in Te Reo?
We have interpreted your request to refer to IT hardware and software
vendors, cloud platforms or digital services that substantively conduct
their business with the University in te reo Mâori. The University is not
aware of any IT hardware and software vendors, cloud platforms or digital
services that substantively conduct their business in te reo Mâori.
Yours sincerely,
