Colleagues,
The University of Georgia would be grateful for any referrals that you may have in regards to the following.
1) Recommendations for consultants who could be engaged to provide a readiness assessment, fit gap, and product guidance (open source vs commercial, peoplesoft versus workday, etc) in regards to finance, HR, and payroll administrative apps.
2) Example RFPs that institutions have used previously to procure consulting assistance per #1 in a competitive bidding process.
The University of Georgia is embarking on a readiness / planning phase related to its mainframe, legacy administrative systems related to finance, HR, and payroll functions. Your advice and guidance on these topics would be appreciate - and you may respond to me at tchester@uga.edu by email.
Best,
Timothy Chester

Hello,
Does your institution use any sort of application tracking software, particularly for computer lab environments?
We're looking for something that will give us statistics on what applications are being used, how often, and for how long.
I've found a few products out there such as LabStats, and Express Metrix. Have any of you used one or both of these products? Or, is there another that you could recommend?

I first met Dewitt when I was at Stanford participating in the opening of Apple's new NY store as part of the CIO Executive Council. He was standing next to me at Mac World and his phone ran out of power while he was negotiating his new job at Notre Dame working with Gordon Wishon. I was kind of listening in while we were waiting so I handed him my phone. He was a little nervous and first refused but when he couldn't get his phone working, he took me up on my offer. He got the job.
We ended up hanging out a bit and I was able to talk with him. His perspective was unique and interesting. His hopes were high. He was someone who I could always trust to give me a clear assessment of an idea or plan. We didn't always agree but I respected his opinion. We continued those conversations on Skype and when possible in person for years.
While attending the Concero CIO meeting in Florida, he seemed happier than I have ever seen him. He had embraced his CIO roll at Montana and seemed to be...

I am seeking feedback from 2-year institutions that are requiring “degree seeking students” that attend their institution to purchase a laptop in order to attend and participate in programs of study. Our institution is considering this endeavor and are looking for pros and cons by those that have done so (or may have considered doing so but, for whatever reason, decided it was not in their best interest).
Many 4 year institutions have requirements, depending on the program, similar to this but I cannot locate any 2 year institutions that currently require most of their students to purchase a laptop upon acceptance. Any contacts or leads regarding this are appreciated.
Thank you.

Hello all,
It came to our attention yesterday that an online hacking zine posted an article about both the MIT hacking event and the EDUCAUSE breach that occurred earlier this year. The information was then shared via Twitter. As we disclosed in our February announcement, the hackers did access EDUCAUSE data in the earlier incident. This recently discovered article includes a dump of EDUCAUSE data. The data set includes information about the .edu domains, such as pre-breach account passwords. Those passwords were deactivated at the time of the breach. The domain contact information has always been publicly available via the .edu Whois directory.
There has not been another breach nor is any of the data different than what we had known in February. If you have any questions, please contact me at mmilliron@educause.edu.

Friends,
I’ve attempted to post a note here several times today, but couldn’t get past the first few words. There just aren’t words to describe how sad this day is. Dewitt was my deputy at Notre Dame, but a friend long before that. It’s impossible to understand why things like this happen to such good people, to such a good husband and father. He touched many lives here on this list, in Montana, and in South Bend – we’ll all miss his humor, his skill, and his compassion. He always put others first, especially those who worked for him.
Please keep his family in your prayers.

Dear Colleagues,
We are in the process of identifying a comprehensive application and infrastructure monitoring tool to provide monitoring for our central application and IT services. I figured one of the best starting points is to survey this list for input and recommendations
on practical experience with such tools.
We are looking for a tool to discover and monitor our web applications, middleware, identity management, security, database, and other critical systems. We have a mix of home-grown and off the shelf applications that we offer to the campus, including web-based
enterprise systems, websites, mainframe applications, and hosted services, running on virtualized and non-virtualized clusters.
The key features we are looking for are:

First, a claimer (which I propose as the opposite of "disclaimer"): Many of you know me from my years at MIT, UChicago, and EDUCAUSE, or from my blog ruminations.gjackson.us, but you may not know I'm now working at NBCUniversal, where my job is to move the corporate relationship with higher education, especially around intellectual-property issues, to a less adversarial and more collaborative framework. To help with that, NBCUniversal recently joined EDUCAUSE as a corporate member, and I'm happy that will keep me in touch with friends and colleagues. That said, here's some info that may be of interest…
NBCUniversal sponsors an annual Short Cuts video festival, which "… gives writers, directors, actors, TV creators and filmmakers of diverse backgrounds an opportunity to showcase their work to key decision makers from the entire...

The process we are implementing is very similar and includes almost identical categories. We utilize HelpStar to track our Break/Fix and Service Level work, then maintain a project list for the larger projects that must go through our project definition and prioritization process.
Our Service Catalog is in process and we chose to simplify it for Phase I in response to feedback that people don’t know what services we provide and how to request things.

For Acrobat, we have been looking at Qoppa's product - http://www.qoppa.com/pdfstudio/ - which I found to be remarkably similar to Acrobat in functionality and actually a bit easier to use. Pricing is very, very close to an Acrobat-only ETLA and gets us out of having any Adobe footprint.
Otherwise the products from that link have been prominent. Gimp, Kompozer or SeaMonkey, and then a few other products here and there. We don't have a huge user base for the full CS lineup but there are viable alternatives.
Ton of conversation on this on the Licensing list.

I've inherited an events calendar project about mid way through. Right now the front runner is a product called Localist. They have a decent base of higher education institutions, although I'm not familiar with them. I'd be interested in feedback from schools using Localist (off list is fine) as well as hearing from other schools that have an event calendar solution they love, adore, and/or that meets their institutional needs well.

Issue #4: Improving the Institution's Operational Efficiency through Information Technology
Continuing our summer discussion of the Educause Top 10 issues, let's move to Issue #4, stated above. What are the obstacles that stop you from fully implementing or deriving benefit from IT designed to improve efficiency? One of our biggest challenges has been to find the technologies that are affordable and easy to implement.

Today, using information technology to improve operational efficiency is no longer just desirable; it has become an imperative due to the ever-shrinking resources brought about by the current economic downturn. Most institutions have many of the required technologies (e.g., workflow, electronic forms, and digital signing) in place, but not everyone has broadly restructured business processes to take advantage of the new technologies.

This topic generated much more dialog than I thought it would. There were a couple sub-topics that were spawned as well.
With regards to MIGRATING FROM ON-PREMISES EXCHANGE TO OFFICE365, a number of people were interested in sharing their experience, and an even larger number of people were interested in being kept apprised of any conversations on the topic. In an effort to try to meet both interests, I have scheduled a 1 and a half hour long conference call on the topic for Wednesday, March 6th at 10am CST. There were people on the Pacific Coast and in Europe were who interested, so I tried to schedule a time that would inconvenience all equally.

At Trinity University we have been using Google Apps as our email system for about three years for student, faculty, and staff email. We have recently been informed by our Faculty Senate that they are receiving complaints re the system that involve lost mail, mail delivered extraordinarily late and some aesthetic complaints with the interface. They are unable to speak to the magnitude of the complaints as they report many users seem very happy with Google Apps. The students seem to like the system and have made no mention of problems, and yes, they do use email a lot!
If you have implemented Google Apps on your campus are you receiving such complaints and what is the magnitude of them?

Good morning!
I’m not sure how this topic has arisen again, but, I concur with Steve!
Although I’ve not been on the list as long as some, during the years I have been subscribed, there have been only a small handful of times in which “marketing” has been a nuisance. In return for these moments, we have created a win-win scenario. For us, we often times receive insights from a larger community regarding what is taking place outside our walls. For the vendor, they have an expanded opportunity to learn about the current issues, thoughts, and actions that are at the forefront of the modern college/university. Since we do use consultants, software, and other services to supplement our environments, I cannot see how this latter fact is a bad thing.

Hi all,
Yesterday, I had a conversation with a professor (no from PLNU) that went something like this:
Sam: What do you think about faculty development programs?
Prof: Well, pedagogy is a very personal thing. If it is introduced by faculty to other faculty, it may work. But since it is a very personal matter, I don't think any faculty should be asked to do anything they do not feel is beneficial in their setting…
This professor continues by describing why it is so personal, but never once did the professor talk about the student. So my question to you all is
– Is pedagogy a personal matter or should a university encourage a certain standard?
Or maybe it is a bit too sensitive an issue to discuss in public. Is this too much of the "elephant in the room"?
I come from the public sector (healthcare, hospitality, retail and ecommerce). In industry, there are certain levels of freedom within each profession but there are certain standards that the company insists. For example: A...

Greetings all,
Based on anecdotal evidence and vague recollections, it is my impression that a number of years ago there was a trend towards hiring private sector business-people into higher ed CIO jobs. Recently (at least within the past year or so), the overwhelming majority of higher ed CIO position postings I've seen state that higher ed experience is preferred. Additionally, a Master's degree is increasingly becoming a requirement, and a terminal degree, such as a doctorate, stated as preferred.
Out of not-so-idle curiosity, is the impression of a shift in the hiring of business-people back to those with higher ed experience just an illusion brought on by faulty memory? :-)
If not, has anyone researched and documented this?
Thanks for any insight you can provide, and have a great weekend!

Colleagues: I've asked my Customer and Training Services Manager to develop an ongoing list of the best Mobile Apps that our faculty, staff and students might use here at the University. We're gathering information from within, but I was hoping that collectively we could all share (or point toward resources, articles that already have this information). Obviously we're looking for Mobile Apps that improve productivity or add value to academics (classroom), administrative functions, student success, etc. We're asking them to provide the NAME, COST (if any), DEVICE THEY USE (iOS, Android), and a BRIEF DESCRIPTION. When the list is compiled, I will definitely share with everyone via this ListServ. Any input that each of you can provide is appreciated!

Greetings! I would like to have some recommendations on how to keep members of an IT advisory/governance committee engaged and attending meetings. We have a University Technology Committee which is a Faculty Senate subcommittee that is comprised of faculty and administrators (about 16 in total). The committee meets every other week as the agenda dictates (sometime we go a month between meetings) and we meet using WebEx. Our chair is a senator and she is outstanding as far as technical knowledge and collaboration goes and the agendas are pretty well populated with relevant topics. Our main issue is getting people to show up for (log in to) the meetings and be involved in the tasks that come out of this committee. This is a good group but there is a high level of stress because so many of us have lots of other commitments. Short of a major system failure, an extra $500k to spend in the IT budget or giving away iPads (none of...
