Root Cause D2L Said… CU-Boulder said yes, but… No consideration of risk and potential impact to CU-Boulder Lack of communication about change We weren’t informed of work We weren’t given a choice in scheduling the work • Failure while migrating CU-Boulder to new file storage system
Managing After the Outage • Transparency and communication was key • Accessed the best past forward with D2L
Changing Our Agreement • Consider risk and impact when making changes • Notify us of changes that have the potential of impacting our campus
What’s next? Outage Related Non-Outage Related Framework for evaluating 3rd Party Integrations Making D2L easier to use • Facilitating department level contingency planning • Improving the management of D2L as a vendor
