Identity & Access Management, It's More than Passwords
How will Identity and Access Management Release 1, which goes live July 1, impact the university community and your unit beyond password self-service and forgotten password recovery? The Identity and Access Management (IdM) Release 1 Foundation project implements the foundational elements of an IdM environment. While the general university community will experience enhanced password self-service and recovery for Kerberos passwords, other components, such as data cleansing and building connectors to core university systems, will involve the support of our university's business and technical areas. This session will focus on impacts of Release 1 components and answer: what will you gain by having the IdM foundation in place? We will also open the conversation: what do you need to be an advocate of Identity and Access Management and support this program and process?
Enterprise E-mail Project Roll out Planning
How can we successfully migrate the university community to a new e-mail and calendaring service? In December, university leaders approved the Enterprise E-mail Project, which will deliver a university-wide e-mail and calendaring service. Preparations are underway to roll the new service out, with the initial focus on current central e-mail and calendaring users. A successful roll out will require everyone's involvement. This session focuses on the first phase of the roll out plan and is specifically targeted to current central e-mail and calendaring users and the IT staff that support them. Session participants will review the roll out plan, learn what they can do to prepare for the roll out, and provide feedback as to what they need to ensure their successful migration to the new service.
Semesters Conversion
The Semesters Conversion project will have broad impacts to enterprise and local systems across the University. Business offices and IT organizations are represented in the Calendar Conversion Committee structure to plan and implement changes that will support the successful conversion to a semesters calendar. The Office of the CIO's Semesters Program will lead the implementation of changes for enterprise applications, and coordinate changes in other IT systems across the University. This session includes a review of the high level time line of the Semesters activities in the Office of the CIO, a debrief on known system impacts, and a review of business questions that will drive additional process and system changes. We will solicit input from the Advisory Community to help identify areas of impact, and create a "systems inventory" that captures IT changes required to support the calendar conversion.
Enterprise Architecture Framework and Defining Shared Services
IT services are delivered in a distributed model at Ohio State. A goal of enterprise architecture is to define what are the university's IT share services. In this session, we will discuss what are the core and common university services and shared applications.
