Cloud Collaboration Discovery Project January 20, 2011 TIPS Introduction
Agenda • Why are we looking into this? • What is the approach? • What are we looking at? • How can you participate?
Rationale for Current Evaluation • Cloud offerings have matured since we evaluated and implemented Zimbra • Peer institutions are considering or have already implemented cloud-based solutions • Some units within Stanford considering cloud offerings • The campus community demands integrated collaboration capabilities and continuous innovation • There are potential savings opportunities • Users frequently request higher quota
Status of Internal Discovery Project • Participating in RFP with other universities to explore offerings from various vendors • Advisory groups formed and meeting regularly • Leveraging findings from other institutions • Collaborating with groups across campus via communication and outreach activities • Evaluating costs, benefits, trade-offs • Investigating legal, security, privacy implications • Understanding differences between Students, Faculty, Staff • Set up and test pilot instance of one or two cloud solutions • Goal: Recommendation and next steps by March 2011
