Discussion

Introductions

  • Karen is transitioning out of the project now that Adriene is back from medical leave.

Project Updates

  • Telecom & IT Requests (Pagers, Telephone services, Mobile devices, Ethernet connection, Central campus backup) 
  • Email & NetID PINs (YaleConnect, Email alias, NetID PINs)
    • Impact for Client Accts - Sept. release would require manual work (Avg. 450 requests/month) - Unacceptable.
    • Automation will become available with IAM solution (Release 1 ~FY14 Q3).
  • Access Requests & Training (Analysis & Design) Oracle – move training to TMS, decommission XTRAIN, SciQuest, Xpress Shipping. Some manual work today will be included in new request process. Process Owners to review training requirements
  • People Lists (Analysis & Design phase) - Originally part of IAM project portfolio, solution not ready. Building with Oracle until IAM solution is ready.
  • START Replacement Training - Just-in-time, to coincide with release(s). To take place 4 weeks prior for big bang release

Project Milestones

  • Sept. - Telecom & IT requests built
  • Sept 30 - Original START release date
  • Oct. - Access requests (XTRAIN) & People Lists built?
  • 4 weeks before release - Training
  • ~FY14 Q3 (TBD) - IAM Release 1 & START Release for YaleConnect, Email alias, NetID PINs, full START service catalog?

Risks / Issues

  • New process for Access requests & Training will not be ready for Sept.
  • New process for People Lists will not be ready for Sept.
  • Email & NetID PIN Automation will not be ready for Sept.
  • Oracle Upgrade planned for Sept 21. We are currently testing START against patch (in a patched environment) and will be completed Aug. 2.

Discussion

  • Modify deployment approach: phased releases vs. big bang release?
    • Sept – ITS services: pagers, telephone services, mobile devices, central campus backup, ethernet
    • If phased approach, there may be opportunities to include other Access requests such as YBT, IRES.
  • IAM
    • Enterprise Directory delivery in December 2013
    • NetAdmin functions related to YaleConnect, E-mail alias, Netid PINS delivery sometime around March 2014
