5 Delitte Recmmendatins # Recmmendatin 15 Financials (FAMIS) Imprve and streamline accunting/financial peratins acrss the System by standardizing the Chart f Accunts, re platfrming the cre FAMIS functinality ff f the mainframe (shrt term), and integrating TEEX, TEES and WTAMU 16 HR & Payrll (BPP) Reduce csts and increase peratinal efficiency by replacing highly custmized, legacy payrll applicatin BPP with an industry recgnized, clud based SaaS slutin, implementing SaaS based HR functinality and retiring shadw payrll technlgies acrss System 17 Student Infrmatin Systems (Banner) Reduce csts and increase reprting efficiency by centralizing Banner services acrss the System 18 Grant Management (Maestr) Cntinue t use Maestr as designed and cmplete rllut t entire System 19 Enterprise Architecture Establish an Enterprise Architecture team that will deliver a cmprehensive enterprise architecture framewrk t supprt current and future business mdels and deliver IT capabilities within the System in a cst effective manner 20 Reduce cst and increase service quality by cnslidating Service Desk peratins acrss the system 21 Reduce risk f unplanned utages and business disruptin by implementing a single, enterprise level, clud based Change Management tl, and standardizing Change Management plicies, prcesses and prcedures acrss the System 22 Streamline incident reslutin and increase custmer satisfactin by implementing a single, enterprise level, clud based Incident Management tl, supprted by standard Incident Management plicies, prcesses and prcedures acrss the System 23 Reduce csts, increase scalability, and eliminate duplicative applicatins and effrt by implementing a single, enterprise level, clud based Service Desk tl acrss the System 24 Imprve visibility int IT prjects and infrastructure needs System wide by implementing demand management and prject apprval prcesses 25 Reduce risk and increase cnsistency in IT prject delivery by establishing a cmprehensive, scalable IT prject delivery framewrk fr TAMUS 26 Reduce risk, imprve System wide visibility int IT prjects and ensure versight f key strategic prjects by creating a PMO functin 27 Imprve prductivity, innvatin and IT effectiveness by establishing a strategy that will allw the System t apprpriately surce required IT skills 28 Create alignment between IT staff and the IT skills and capabilities needed t deliver the future IT envirnment by establishing an IT career path framewrk fr the System 29 Ensure cntinued IT talent develpment thrugh a frmal training and mentring prgram fr all IT staff

6 Overall Cmments n Delitte Recmmendatins Few Radical Ideas Mst f the recmmendatins have been embraced and implemented in bth the private sectr and public higher educatin sectr years ag Yet Radical Change Ahead The implementatin f these recmmendatins will dramatically transfrm the TAMUS infrmatin technlgy landscape Significant Savings The implementatin f these recmmendatins will reduce the TAMUS infrmatin technlgy spend by $30 60 millin a year

7 IBM Discussins IBM agreement is a wrk in prcess (August??) Led by TAMUS Participating System Office, Ge Sciences, Agriculture, and Engineering Over 30 faculty members invlved Includes bth research and technlgy partnerships

8 Research Data Center Centrally managed, secure, and reliable envirnment fr hsting research data Superir cmputatinal pwer and strage needs f cmplex research prjects acrss all TAMUS members Prvide n demand, hsted services at reasnable prices fr PI s Increase cllabratin between PI s acrss TAMUS Reduce duplicatin and better utilize expertise acrss System Increase the ptential t effectively cmpete fr large, multidisciplinary grants Standardize plicies and prcesses (e.g., data security, leading practices) Meet data management and disseminatin requirements as articulated by majr grant prviders and gvernment agencies (e.g, NSF)

9 Research Data Center New equipment Superir cmputatinal pwer Vetted architecture Shwcase facility Attractive fr Crprate investment
