  2. About 3TU. • Universities of Delft, Eindhoven, Twente • Federation since february 7th, 2007 • Main goal: stronger international position in education and research • 9.000 staff, > 28.000 students • Collaboration in 3TU. Graduate School • 5 joint MSC programmes (since 2006) • Considerable differences in Size, Culture, Organizational structure, IT Governance, IT environments, applications etc.

  14. More challenges • No real enterprise architects in 3TU. • No power to enforce process design or standards • Limited authority for architects • Demarcation line between 3TU. and local infrastructure • Facility sharing??(do we trust each other?)

  15. Work in progress • Finetuning of Target Architecture • Proof of Concept for one business process • Choice of standard for learning components • Mapping of services on application landscape

  16. Conclusions • A lot of work to do • Need for qualified architects • Reduce the gap between IT and education • Introduction of SOA could work • But, most important……
