7 Planning and Programs Office Working with campuses to develop the Enterprise IT Strategic Plan Enterprise plan is also the unit plan responding to Bozeman strategic plan Researching processes, practices, software support with other institutions IT initiatives and major implementations going forward will be supported by the PPMO

8 Proposed University IT Governance

9 Proposed Bozeman IT Governance MSU Bozeman IT Council TLTR Research Enterprise IT Directors

10 Common Identification & Password Taskforce Implement 4-campus policy which recognizes the login standard, and require exceptions to it to be vetted through the CIO s office. Standardize on a single authoritative 4 campus AuthN infrastructure. Better integrate NetID/ password process into student and employee onboarding process. Implement Web Single Sign On (WebSSO). Support for federated AuthN technologies such as InCommon.

11 Campus Core controllers replaces Redundant Higher performance Rate limits lifted Simplified SSID and login process MSU-Guest & MSU MSU-Secure eduroam Library, Montana Hall, SUB Assessing the balance of buildings on campus Need input on building prioritization

12 New Discussions

13 Campus Wide-Area Network No redundancy to the east Paying too much for commodity No redundancy in local loop

14 Empowering staff and faculty to optimize mission support success through long-term, sustainable changes based on thorough data collection and campus input. Recommendations phase on track, scheduled for completion Nov 9 Look forward to participating in designing and implementing approved (funded) IT-enabling solutions

15 Campus Students off on Gmail 20+ servers on campus Some departments living in gmail.com No standard for campus calendaring or collaborative tools Aging campus Exchange system needs to be addressed Exchange 2007 Small quotas

16 IP Address Management IPAM Appliance Fault tolerant Delegated authority for TLD Secure Ratio of Static to Dynamic Addresses Use of Public Addresses vs. Private Private IP Address Allocation Map IPv6 readiness

17 Decentralized IT Staff A number of departmental IT support staff have been hired over the last 10 years to meet technology needs NOT being supplied by ITC (real and imagined). Each person/each group is largely autonomous meeting the needs of their department as they see fit. Many times there is no coordination even within the same college.

18 Decentralized IT Staff The decentralized approach often leads to: Duplicate efforts Inefficiently allocated support resources Inconsistent adherence to university IT standards Inconsistent user experiences Unnecessary risk from security breaches Lack of accountability

19 Decentralized vs. Distributed IT Support Staff Having support staff in the field is a good thing local staff knowing local needs We need them to focus on core differentiators ; services that add value to the mission of the department. laboratory & bench top computing, research computing, application and web development, etc. We need departmental staff to be part of the larger whole; to be aligned with university policy and directions but serving the local needs.

20 What does IT look like in the eyes of MSU users? What SHOULD it look like?
