Presentation Transcript

  1. Impact of Future Engineering Operation Model • Steve Mattson • University of Michigan

  2. Google Email (Apps) Selected

  3. Traditional Model • New technologies grew up organically in the College of Engineering in response to specific local needs. • Other U-M schools also developed their own local IT services, with some overlap. • Some call this “running amok” • Central IT groups did not develop scaled-up infrastructure services available for use by academic units. • As a result, there are few central services available today.

  4. Campus Initiatives • IT Rationalization • Operating existing IT more cost-efficiently • U-M estimates that it spends ~$300M / year on IT. • 60% of that is spent outside of central IT. • Some portion of that is spent on perceived redundant services. • NextGen Michigan • Deploying new technologies / capabilities • IT Capital Projects Process • Funding IT projects >$1M

  5. Accenture Heat Map

  6. Current Focus • Phase 1 bundle: • Network • Storage • Server virtualization • End user computing • Up for another “gate review” tomorrow.

  7. Future Model • Unit-unique services • Where there is no central option or the central alternative is limited in some way • Consulting for faculty • Efficiently describe available options • Local support for faculty and students • Particularly in classrooms

  8. Concerns • When are centralcampus services good enough or close enough? • Timing of transitions to central IT? • Continuing unit support for legacy services? • Maintaining expertise without operating the corresponding infrastructure • Funding model for IT
