Enterprise Warehouse (Bill Post)
Bill shared part of the PowerPoint presentation about the Enterprise Warehouse project that he gave to the Deans
in June 2007. Deborah Kuechel and Linda Post will present a more in-depth update of the warehouse project at
the November meeting, but Bill wanted to give the committee an overview this month. Linda Post spoke about
PB Views and scorecards; Randy Miller asked about seeing an example and was told that they will be available
by the end of the semester.
Information Resources 2006/2007 Performance Report (Bill Post)
Bill pointed to the Performance Report on the Web and invited the committee to peruse the documents. He
shared a few performance indicators as well as the results of the recent Faculty and Staff Information
Technology Survey. All of these documents are available on the Web at
http://www.csuchico.edu/ires/plans/performanceReports.html
Campus Forms (Mike Spiess)
Mike spoke about the lack of standardization and consistency on campus forms; some forms can be typed onto,
others have to be printed out and hand written, etc. Part of the problem is rooted in policy and allowing
electronic signatures. Debra Barger suggested looking first at the forms that are most heavily used on campus
and improve upon those instead of trying to tackle all campus forms at once. Andi Beach, Phyllis Weddington,
Mike Spiess, Jerry Ringel, and Bill Post will meet to further discuss this issue. Jerry Ringel reported on an
Adobe product called LiveCycle that could offer a centralized solution to managing forms on campus. Rebecca
Cagle will bring this issue up at the next AA/S meeting to discuss what forms would be the most useful to
initially work on.
Internet 2 (Scott Claverie)
Scott presented a handout explaining how the campus network works within the CENIC network and our peering
arrangements. Our bandwidth utilization has only been 14-15% at its peak; we have plenty of bandwidth
capability at present time within the CENIC network and don’t have the need for Internet 2 right now. We do
need to constantly evaluate our needs and keep current on what is available in the market.
