ITANA and CIO CG Joint Screen2Screen: EA - Shining a Light on IT Spend, March 15, 2013

ITANA and CIO CG Joint Screen2Screen:  EA - Shining a Light on IT Spend, March 15, 2013

Join us for a joint ITANA and CIO CG ScreenScreen:  Enterprise Architecture - Shining a Light on IT Spend, March 15, 2013 2:00PM to 3:00PM EST (GMT -5)

Three case studies and a panel discussion will highlight how Enterprise Architecture (EA) helps IT leadership shine a light on IT spend for their business partners on campus.   At UBC, EA blueprint activities help the business side of the enterprise recognize redundancies in the IT portfolio and help them link acquisitions to campus strategy. UMUC is using Capability Mapping to plan and manage expenditures and to help business partners to invest strategically.  UW-Madison has an Architecture Review Board that bring the business side into the discussion and educates them on the complexities of IT projects, IT landscape and IT strategic planning.

portfolio management / service inventory?
February 27, 2013 | Listserv Anonymous User
Message from caleb.racey@newcastle.ac.uk

This has turned into  an epic reply so  I’ll provide an abstract:

 

<abstract>

I have done some basic mapping of our systems portfolio, there isn’t much in the way of architectural tools to support this kind of activity.   There is a cross over here with ITIL based service management approaches.  Much of the approaches I’ve seen take a “bottom up” approach of map the detail and then summarise into an overview, however this is resource intensive.   Tools to help take a “top down” overview from 50,000 feet would be useful, a good starting point would be classifying service provision into major service areas.

long term data storage strategy?
January 17, 2013 | Paul H. Erickson
Hi all, We're looking at the issue of data storage in the long term, and how we can find a solution that will scale, meet our needs, and still remain affordable. The issue of backups, for example, alone have the potential to eat up our budget if we project a few years out... between the price of licenses for backup software, as well as our need for 2 backup copies of our backup server. I would love to know if any other schools have tackled this issue and have come up with any long-term solutions that scale & keep costs manageable (while still meeting data & records retention needs). Another concern is that if (when) we do have a catastrophic failure - because of the sheer volume of data - it would probably take a full month to restore everything from backup... and there isn't likely to be a good way to prioritize data to restore it in a way that restores critical functions first (and while metadata is theoretically a great thing, practically no one will take the time to...

Questions for Box.com Screen2Screen
January 15, 2013 | Christopher Eagle
Hi Everyone,

Thanks for the overwhelming response to my request for interest in a Box.com Q&A session.  Since so many of your are interested, we're going to have both OSU and Umich discuss their Box/Net+ implementations and we'll also have Andrew Keating from Internet2 on the call.

We don't yet have an exact date set, but we're targeting for late next week or early the following week.  I'll let you know as soon as we have a time.

As preparation, I'd like to ask you to send me any questions you have about Box by the end of day Thursday, this week.  We'll get those answers back to ITANA pre-call, and use them as a starting point for the discussion on the call.

Thanks,
Chris

SOA Strategy workshop
January 9, 2013 | Nassif Nassif
Hello everyone,
CWRU is considering a SOA strategy workshop from one vendor. The workshop would cover SOA in general and at CWRU.  Also it would help lay out a road map to help  with  future planning and strategy. So we are asking if any of your organization did go through a similar exercise and if you have a recommended vendor, or a training partner that you can suggest.

Thank you in advance for your help on this,

Box.com discussion

I was perusing the minutes from the last ITANA conference call, and saw there was some discussion about Box.com.  UM has had our Box implementation up for over a year now and, if there is interest, I would love to offer a Q&A GHangout with the two lead people on our implementation (business lead and technical lead) to discuss our approach and lessons learned.

Let me know if you, or someone at your institution would be interested in participating in such a hangout.

Interface catalog
March 22, 2012 | Dirk Brand
Hi all
 
I am currently documenting all existing interfaces between our systems in order to establish an interface catalog that could act as an aid in our initiative to implement a SOA/ESB.
I was wondering if anybody might have any suggestions as to a template I could use for this documentation.
Basically I'm thinking of a one-page document per interface that adequately describes the interface without going into too much low-level detail.
 
Any suggestions or advice would be most welcome.

Enterprise Endpoint Backup
May 10, 2012 | Sharif Nijim
ITANA,

As part of our approach to enterprise desktop management, Notre Dame is investigating enterprise-level endpoint backup solutions.  We are currently working with the University of Illinois to conduct initial product viability analysis.  Given the positive reception to last week's Internet2 Net+ announcements, we believe this is an opportunity for the community to come together and create new service offering in this fragmented market.

Just to be perfectly clear...

(1) Notre Dame is interested in investigating an enterprise solution using products like Carbonite, Mozy or CrashPlan (not an exhaustive list). 

(2) Notre Dame is  interested in taking a lead in working with Internet2 and investigating this as a Net+ service offering.    

We are looking for partners.

March 8, 2012 | Christopher Eagle
Next Tuesday (3/13), at 11 am EST,  we’ll have the first meeting of our New To Higher Ed ITANA Sub-group.  We’re going to use Google Hangout for the meeting.  For this first meeting, I’d also ask you to drop me an email before the meeting (before mid-day Monday, preferably), since I’ll be inviting people to hangout.

If you have any specific examples of collaborative vs directive approach that you think would be good case studies to discuss, please pass them on to me!

Before the Meeting:
You should try to have Google Hangout working before the meeting.  Steps to take:
1) Sign up to Google Plus. You need a gmail account and then go to plus.google.com to sign up.
2) Add Chris Eagle (at umich) to one of your circles.  I’ll be notified and I’ll add you back.  You should also add the ITANA Page and Jim Phelps (...

MuleSoft or other open source ESB and PeopleSoft?
November 28, 2011 | Richmond Stevenson
[ITANA] MuleSoft or other open source ESB and PeopleSoft? Anyone on the list have experience using the MuleSoft ESB to integrate with PeopleSoft?  Specifically for events that start in PS that we want to use a pub/sub pattern on?  

Mule doesn’t have a PS application adapter (or most of the open source ESB’s that I can find), so if you’ve solved this problem, I’d be interested in hearing how you did it.  We explored the Oracle SOA Suite tools but are having some sticker shock on the solution and are looking for lower cost options.


Thanks,
Rich

Did you participate in the Screen2Screen today? If so, what struck you from Laura's talk.
September 13, 2012 | Listserv Anonymous User
Message from colleen.nagy@case.edu

Wow!  I thought Laura was a great presenter and leader.  Her message and direction were very clear. 

So, a couple of thoughts I would like to add:

   -  It helps to have a goal for the whole university to drive out costs beyond the budget constraints.  Everyone is expected to pitch in.  So, Laura and her team have gotten the support from top leadership of the university.

   -  I agree with the simple pictures.  Service and funding strategy and flipping the types of IT services are areas we try to explain to our customers, but we don't have pictures to make it clear.

    -  The methodology for commoditizing would be interesting to explore further.  How do they find all the costs when things are so decentralized?  Are the schools and departments willing...

project onboarding & prioritization?
July 17, 2012 | Paul H. Erickson
Hi everyone,
We are hoping to learn from other schools around their project onboarding and prioritization processes. I'm linking the two processes because it seems like you can't really prioritize projects without sufficient data upon which to make decisions (which is what we're really after).
Do any of you have a documented process that works well for you that we could look at?
Thanks,

Pub/Sub discussion Use Case
April 11, 2012 | James Phelps
Hi All, I would like to talk through architectures and solutions for this use case during tomorrow's call. We have multiple Learning Management Systems (LMS) and other consumers of Course Roster information. Right now the LMSs come in and do complete course roster refreshes. That is, they grab all the course rosters data for all the courses that they host every four hours from a Web Service. They would like to move to a notification system where they would subscribe to a queue and be notified of when there are changes to rosters. If a roster they are interested in has been change, they would call the Web Service and get just that roster's data. This seems simple but as I've thought through it, the problem becomes a bit prickly. I would love to get all your feedback and input on this issue. Thanks, Jim ps. You know that any member can use the Thursday calls to vet a problem with their peers like this. Not just me. Just let me know if you want time on the agenda...

Thanks for the call yesterday.  I attached a model we use to breakdown the links from strategy-business-technology required to deliver an initiative.  If you take the Gartner dot diagram and drill into one of the dots, I could see using our model to explain the project/initiative to all levels of stakeholders.
I would really appreciate some feedback on this model.

Non-credit activity managment and CRM advice, experiences?
February 14, 2012 | Shelly Feran

Hello all – we are in the very early stages of addressing two of the initiatives identified as most needed by our first-round EA exercise last year. The first is that of managing non-credit activities – continuing studies courses, continuing medical/dental education offerings, seminars, conferences, HR professional development and so on. The second is customer/student relationship management – really an essential component of the first for the units who market their activities to the community and a critical need for our Enrollment Services shared services center.

 

I’d very much like to hear from any of you who’ve already been down that road or are about to embark on a related journey.

 

Thanks

Does anyone have any experience with Mule ESB (and if so, Tcat) from MuleSoft? Or, do you use any other 'simple' enterprise integration tools?

The University of Bristol would like to begin to investigate enterprise integration tools, which are:
  1. Simple to get started, but have potential to implement more sophisticated design patterns
  2. Don't cost the Earth
  3. Have support and training available

Thanks,

Luke
