The Guiding Principal - Stewardship • Stewardship as a Trust • Responsibility - Maximize the Value of IT spend of the University • Leadership - Set an example; ‘eat our own dog food’ • Execute Strategically and Tactically • Fully vet all ideas and suggestions – no ‘sacred cows’ • Understand that all recommendations may not be executed • FY13 and beyond - Short-term/mid-term/long-term • Identify and take quick wins • Focus on ITS budget, but savings opportunities found outside ITS should be brought forward • Foundation for Ongoing Governance • First Step = Get our budgetary house in order • Ongoing = Tools and processes for continuous improvement ‘We are all called to be exceptional stewards of Yale’s assets.’ Stephen Murphy – 6/14/12
The Benefit • Meet the key objective to meet budget target reduction of $5M • Increase the credibility and standing of ITS at Yale – another way to prove we can deliver • Improve process rigor around financial accountability for IT projects moving forward • Less time spent on operational tasks should free up time and effort to focus on development
The Strategy • Gather spend information • Divide and conquer – (Goal = $1.25 MM from each of Top 4) • Hardware – Aimee, Dave • Software/SaaS – Ann, Cheryl and Chris A. • Pro Services – Steve, Peter and Ed • Telecom – Dave, Paul and Mike • Advisory – Chris M., Joe, Russell • New Opportunities – All • Processes and Tools – Mike, Steve and Ed • Classify Savings (Achieved, I/P, Planned, New) & Assign Owners • Weekly Meetings • Consolidate/Draft Recommendations • Finalize Recommendations • Implement/Execute
The Starting Numbers (4/1/11 – 3/30/12) Notes:Hardware and Software include new purchases and maintenance; Pro Services includes both Consulting and Staff Aug ; Telecom pass through ; Unassigned means no vendor name on Oracle payment record(s) Focus on top vendors for savings AND consolidation of vendors
