  17. Time to solution • 14 hours!!!

  18. Cost of solution • $0!!!

  19. With Kuali, NO: • RFP (saved us 3-4 months) • License fees orMaintenance fees • Program manager on retainer (for us, anyway) • Contact him or her with an issue • PM identifies internal resource • PM schedules a call with the internal resource • We have a telephone call, “on the meter” at $200/hr. • Internal resource schedules a 5-day visit • We remove 60% of slides, and revise to a 2-day visit • We sometimes don’t get the help we need

  20. What about Risks?

  21. Good Risks – Moon Landing

  22. Bad Risks – Fukushima

  23. In the Next Decade • Good risk taking will differentiate institutions, and there will be “winners” and “losers.” • Kuali is a good risk!

  24. “In the new millennium, lessons learned should actually be learned.” – the Dalai Lama

  25. YES! KFS – Our most successful implementation ever!
