The HERM Technology Reference Model describes the industry-agnostic domain of technology services and things that are required to implement applications and business capabilities in higher education.

USAGE
The Technology Reference Model (TRM) provides a taxonomy that facilitates the inspection, understanding, and planning of an institution's current-, transition-, and future-state technology estate. These artefacts can be used by Enterprise Architects, Solution Architects, Technology Leaders, and other stakeholders to support technology-portfolio rationalisation and optimisation, simplify architecture governance, enable the ICT strategic planning, and support benchmarking activities.
