Academic computing encompasses the utilisation of staff, infrastructure and services which enable and support the management and delivery of academic programmes in teaching, learning and research.A common academic computing framework allows for future benchmarking within and between higher education institutions in Malaysia.This paper compares nine ICT frameworks using common evaluation criteria.The comparison shows that none of the measurement frameworks fullfil all evaluation criteria. The most obvious non-compliance of the evaluation criteria is that most of the frameworks do not take into account the unique features of Malaysian higher education.
