    Notes on slide 1

    Prior to 2006, IT Services at BCIT managed applications independently in our various groups. There was little discussion or coordination between groups resulting in several groups implementing many different applications that essentially served the same functional purpose.

    We began building our first draft portfolio in June 2006. This took some time as there was resistance to creation of the List. By late September, the majority of the list was compiled and we published it internally. An interesting thing occurred, once we published the first version of the portfolio. People at our service desk loved it and could see the value right away. Our identity management team took advantage of the list to identify key applications that we wanted to enable with IDM. Another by-product of publishing the list was, that those people who did not want to give up their “secrets” began to reveal applications that we knew nothing about. The list will continue to be updated and published regularly and will become part of our Enterprise Model.

    2. Technology Management
      • Technology management is practiced differently in each IT Services group
        • creating silos of technology
        • critical information resided in technical experts’ heads instead of documented – high risk
    3. Technology Management
      • Technology documentation was kept in various formats
        • no consistency or ability to understand technology change impacts
        • reactive changes causes unplanned interruptions in service when technology had to be upgraded
    4. Technology Management
      • No overall view to architect a solid IT foundation that can deliver technology services to support BCIT
        • unplanned changes in vendor technology caused delays in projects that were underway
        • results in clients having a more negative perception of IT Services
    5. Building a Technology Matrix Sept 2006 Nov 2006 Jan 2007 Feb 2007 Ongoing … Create Technology Matrix Template Pilot With Oracle Technology Establish “ Watcher” Role (Vendor) Add Other Vendor Watchers Migrate Vendor Watchers to Domains
    6. Technology Lifecycle R & D Invest End of Life Watch
    7. Technology Lifecycle Definitions Watching (W): includes initiatives and technologies that are being watched for maturity in industry. Research and Development (R): includes initiatives and technologies that are currently under consideration, investigation, or evaluation for future implementation. Investing (I): includes initiatives and technologies that are the target of resources including financial investments and/or investments of human resources.
    8. Technology Lifecycle Definitions Sustaining (S): includes initiatives and technologies that deliver services identified in the Core Services Catalogue or in Service Level Agreements Containing (C): includes initiatives that have been completed and technologies that are in the process of being phased out. End of Life (E): includes initiatives and Technologies that are retired from service
    9. Technology Matrix Technology Matrix Attributes
      • Technology Watcher
      • Vendor Name and Description
