Discussion

Project Updates

• Telecom & IT Requests
  • Training in October
  • Planned deployment Nov 1.
  • Release: Pagers, Telephone services, Ethernet connection, Mobile devices, ITS backup service (Central campus backup)

• Access Requests & Training
  • Policy review with Oracle Process Owners - Nancy
  • User interface & API to Oracle, SciQuest, Xpress Shipping
  • Training in November? Deploy in December? Decommission XTRAIN
  • Jackie suggested getting Nancy Creel-Gross, Steve Murphy and Julie Grant all in the same room to move access issues forward- perhaps it can be discussed at Shauna's VP directs meeting
  • Xtrain - How will the fact that someone took a course be updated? LD and Journal entries relating to Grant and Contracts are the only ones that need to be currently logged. Some information in TMS, some in Xtrain. Decommissioning of Xtrain can't happen until we deploy.

• People Lists
  • Part of access, we nee d to work with an interface that's similar
  • Barbara has done analysis on both pieces
  • People lists should be deployed at the same time as Access requests

• Email & NetID PINs
  • User interface for YaleConnect, Email alias, NetID PINs – to be completed in December
  • IAM-ServiceNow API integration
  • Deployment with IAM Release 1 (~March 2014)

• User Interface
  • Overall look and feel of all requests is the same even though forms will look slightly different

Project Milestones

• Month of Oct. - Approver and fulfillment training
• Nov. 1 - Deploy ITS service requests for pagers, telephone services, mobile devices, Ethernet connection and ITS back-up service
• Month of Nov. - Build Access & Training, People Lists
• Jan. - Deploy Access & Training, People Lists? or hold until IAM Release 1
• ~FY14 Q3 (TBD) - IAM Release 1 & START Release for YaleConnect, Email alias, NetID PINs, full START service catalog?

Project Financials

• FY14 Allocation  =$137,000
• Total budget estimate = approx. $220,000, July 2013 spend = approx. $38,800
• Ask for ROC = $83,000 additional
• Christine is going to ROC next week with timeline, budget request and resource allocations.

Risks / Issues

• Oracle Upgrade planned for Sept 21. - START tested in patched environment successful!
• Approved allocation for FY14 $137,100. Budget estimate is approx. $220,000. Increase due to backfill for technical resources for 4 months.

• Next Steps / Discussion
  • Training for Telecom, Ethernet, Back-up during Oct. for Nov 1 release
  • Access & Training, People Lists – deploy when ready or wait for IAM Release 1 (~March 2014). We need IAM to nail down delivery dates which will inform our decision about deployment of access requests.
  • Communications to Operating Group
  • Presentation of FY14 plan to ROC on 8/15
