  1. Effective Executive Reporting and Key Performance Indicators Every organization faces significant challenges in an economic downturn. Reducing IT costs is usually one of the first considerations. However, it is critically important to review the organization’s KPIs to prevent long-term and infrastructure damages with short-term financial gains. The key to this is demonstrating IT value over IT expense. Link Alander, Associate Vice Chancellor, Technology Services Shah Ardalan, Vice Chancellor Technology Services, CIO

In our 1Q09 forecast update, Gartner's most likely forecast for global IT spending in 2009 has been revised down to -3.8% annual growth in U.S. dollar terms. April, 2009 • Budget Trends– Higher Education • Planning cuts of 5 to 15 percent for FY09-10 • Many are administering mid year cuts • Sentiment was budget cuts would be deep and long lasting January, 2009

  6. Our Approach and Challenges At what point do you add value to the organization? • Monitor and Track Performance • It doesn’t have to be complex • Assign tracking responsibility • Report Progress • Meaningful Information to our Executives and Board of Trustees • Provide Continuous Improvement IT Maturity Model and Assessment Challenge Prior to 2008 – IT was not seen as a business partner Goal Increase Accountability, IT Maturity, Show Value and become a Business Partner

  7. Key Performance Indicators Once an organization has analyzed its mission, identified all its stakeholders, and defined its goals, it needs a way to measure progress toward those goals. Key Performance Indicators are those measurements. • “If you don’t measure it, • you can’t manage it” • “If you don’t measure it, • you can’t improve it” • “If you don’t measure it, • you probably don’t care” • “If you can’t influence it, • then don’t measure it” • Randy A Steinberg • Don’t over estimate your capabilities • Align with your Strategic Plan • Traditional KPIs • Financial • Operational • Strategic • External and Internal - KPIs • Assign Responsibility • Report Regularly • Rethink (remix) your KPIs • Show Value to the Organization and our Taxpayers

  8. External KPIs - Traditional Why external and internal KPIs Aligned with Goals Simplified and targeted Strategic in nature Manage expectations Document your KPIs What are you measuring? Why are you measuring? How are you measuring?

  9. IT Service Management – Measuring Availability Critical Factors – Documented Practices • Measuring Service Availability • Measuring Service Impact Recorded system service availability is: Location X = 44,370/(44,640-240) = 99.90% Impact = 55,000-3,000/55,000 = 5.45% System availability = Total availability by Site Weighted. Total Service Uptime (Total Minutes – Planned Downtime) (Total Service Users – Impacted Users) Total Service Users Example: 30 minute network outage at a remote campus that impact 3,000 students, faculty and staff. All other locations were not impacted. Any impact greater then 10% is considered a total loss of service.

  10. Measuring Change and Problem Management • Problem Management • - Number of major problems • - Number of repeat incidents • - Total labor hours spent on problems Change Management • Change success rate • Emergency change rate • Change efficiency rate • Change incident rate • Change reschedule rate
