DISCUSSION ITEMS
1.
Centralized security proposal - continued: Resumed discussion regarding next steps toward a centralized
security model. Agreed that it actually costs more to maintain the current splintered process and that the
centralized model would be more efficient. Discussed alternative ways to fund the activities without using
enterprise budget funding. Discussed reorganization potential that could move an in-house candidate into the
position. Also considered ways to get the current process more standardized and automated. Bill, as CIO will
support activities to standardize processes and will ensure the standards are honored by all units involved in
the distributed model. More work needs to be done in either case for our security standards to meet audit
requirements.
Meredith suggested that we approach this from a project perspective that can be driven from the enterprise
budget for an agreed upon period of time, e.g., 18 months. This would allow us to get some focused
consulting assistance before the HCM 9.0 upgrade and make progress toward standardization/automation.
After the defined time period, the project would end and funding would be identified for a position for
security functions. Brooke pointed out that as we work through the project, the outcome will likely
demonstrate that the job duties for the new position will look different than if we filled the position today.
Brooke and Phyllis will begin a preliminary project plan for presentation at a future meeting.
2.
Application support – campus strategy: Brief discussion of the types of technology requests that come
from campus units for resolution. Need a better method of assigning those tasks – more of a service
perspective rather than the historical lines of support that leave many units without technical resources to
assist with their business process resolutions. Discussed the need to rethink skill sets across the enterprise
and an improved method of matching those skills with the technology requests. More to come…
3.
FAC discussion re the enterprise budget: Bill met with the FAC members to provide details and respond
to questions about the enterprise budget charter, projects and staff tied to the budget, expenditure patterns,
future plans, etc. Bill will continue to manage this budget with major decisions coming to Cabinet for
discussion. Bill will be taking this opportunity to analyze the entire process and develop a better connection
with the FAC. Additional conversations will be taking place on regular basis.
