Accurately assess current IT services, determining what services are common to most DSA customers as well as how they align with the DSA and Technology Services – Student Affairs strategic plans.  Build a comprehensive enterprise technology and application roadmap, which can assist with future service selections.

Objectives

2.1 Identify services common and required for all customers

[CPR 3.2] 2.2 Develop and communicate enterprise technology roadmap [CPR 4.2] 2.3 Develop and communicate legacy application roadmap [CPR 4.1] 2.4 Create vendor selection criteria based on enterprise roadmap [CPR 3.3]

Tasks

2.1.1 Examine existing DSAnet Portfolio (Services) and determine each services’ Service Lifecycle and Service Position. – Complete
2.1.2 Determine criteria for “Core Services” and compare against DSAnet Portfolio.  Due: 10/31/2014 – 90% Complete
2.1.3 Document “Core Services” and report to Strategic Themes committee.  Due: 11/30/2014

2.2.1 Examine the Core Services as well as services that are “Current” in their Service Lifecycle and determine what enterprise technology is required to support them.  Due: TBD
2.2.2 Examine any enterprise technology being implemented and determine what services they can support.  Due: TBD
2.2.3 Examine the services that are “Legacy – Needs Technology Refresh” in their Service Lifecycle and determine if they can be supported by the other current technology, technology being implemented, or if other technology is required.  Due: TBD
2.2.4 Document the enterprise technology required to support Core Services, Current Services and Legacy Services needing a refresh and report to Strategic Themes committee.  Due: TBD
2.2.5 Formalize the enterprise technology roadmap and participate in the project planning process.  Due: TBD

2.3.1 Working with IT Project Management, determine the TCO, benefit, complexity, etc. of each legacy application and assign a priority to address.  Due: TBD
2.3.2 Formalize the legacy application roadmap and participate in the project planning process.  Due: TBD

2.4.1 Based on the enterprise technology roadmap, prepare criteria for ITG to use in the selection of future IT services.  Due: TBD

Metrics

  • Number of enterprise technologies required to support IT Services. ~ Are we able to reduce the number? [Sample semiannually]
  • Number of IT Services.  ~ Are we able to reduce the number of services by eliminating or combining services? [Sample semiannually]
  • Roadmap adherence.  ~ How well are we following the roadmaps? [Sample semiannually]
  • Are services criteria being followed by ITG? [Sample monthly – after each ITG meeting]

Definitions

  • A core service is a customer-facing service used by multiple or all DSA departments, incurs little to no additional up-front costs to add additional departments, has reasonable long-term support costs, and is compatible with the enterprise technology roadmap.
