Items from Round Robin on May 13, 2010 Call

At the end of the last call, we did a quick round-robin of hot topics on campus. Interesting groupings of activities appeared. I thought the common issues were interesting and also the signs of maturity. IAM has moved up from building the directory to affiliation management. SOA has moved forward from should we do SOA to where are on our SOA roadmap. Here are the topics as I grouped them:

Identity and Access Management:

Two of us are involved with Oracle IAM
The issues have moved up from directories (building) to affiliations - definitions, management, governance
The shift in credentials from NetID for life to new credentials during different parts of the lifecycle (email and password) bound to a single identity
OFAC (Office of Foreign Asset Control) impact on policy and identity proofing is still an issue

SOA and ESB

Four of us mentioned ESBs
Checkins on the SOA strategy and progress are happening on two campuses

Strategic Planning

Revisiting strategic plans
IT Rationalizing across the enterprise
Mapping Strategic Initiatives back to Service and Project Portfolio management

Building EA

Finding ways to build a more mature EA practice on campus
Fit in the organization

Kuali RICE and KFS are on the front burner at indiana and others.

Interesting finding so many common issues and some signs of maturity.
