2009 Visiting Committee Recommendations
1) BSS should continue to use hiring opportunities to bring in new talent to bolster succession planning efforts. This will be critical to maintaining and enhancing the quality of services that BSS provides to Fermilab.
Budget and low turnover minimized opportunities.
(This item addressed in response to question #7.)
2010 FRA Visiting Committee – Business Services

2009 Visiting Committee Recommendations
2) BSS should continue to pursue system improvements to achieve cost reduction, cost avoidance, and operational efficiencies, e.g. Oracle iProcurement. While this is a good approach regardless of resource levels, it is particularly important in a resource constrained environment. Budget and IT resource constraints were severe enough that
there was little progress.
Notable Outcome, FY10 – New Fleet Management system was implemented (October 2009).
ProCard front end migration strategy agreed on BSS CD.
Oracle iProcurement project on hold due to other IT priorities.
Reached steady state of e-commerce for procurements (RFQ’s, Fermilab bid posting website, electronic drawings)
Information Resources Department did not renew 36 titles in 2010 resulting in cost savings of $115,589.
2010 FRA Visiting Committee – Business Services
1) Performance Measures – FY09 Results
• Objective 6.2 : Provide an Efficient, Effective, and Responsive Acquisition Management System(s). Overall grade B+.
Procurement BSC: “overall target was exceeded,”
achieved 95 points (90 = B+).
Successfully meets Acquisition Management M&O contract requirements: “…continues to improve the level of quality and timeliness of documents submitted” … “procurement files and documentation exceeded the established expectation.”
“Fermilab conducted a separate BSC review of ARRA funded awards” – full compliance with procurement and ARRA rules.
The Laboratory demonstrates a commitment to process improvements in the Acquisition Management System: “The target has been met. However, further improvements are needed in the level of quality in the documents received.” Improved in FY10.
15 2010 FRA Visiting Committee – Business Services
1) Performance Measures – FY09 Results (continued)
• Objective 6.3: Provide an Efficient, Effective, and Responsive Property Management System(s). Overall grade A-
Property Balanced Scorecard: Exceeded overall DOE performance target (90 = B+), achieved 96%.
Effective Fleet Management: Scored highly.
• Objectives 8.3 & 8.4: (BSS partially responsible) Sensitive Property (Overall B+) & Information (Overall B+).
Security in Property Protection Areas: Exceeded expectations. Interface with DOE security contractor: Various positive comments. High Risk Property: 100% accountability, no adverse events.
16 2010 FRA Visiting Committee – Business Services
1) Performance Measures – FY10 Status
• 6.2 Procurement: Already a record year in procurement dollar volume. Overall performance is very good, metrics will be met or exceeded.
Procurement BSC: Expect 94-95 of 100 (Notable Outcome = 90). 6.1 ARRA : Customers receiving goods and services in timely
manner, no OIG or IA findings.
• 6.3 Property: Expect to meet or exceed performance metrics.• Property BSC. Expect 95% (Notable Outcome = 92%). Inventory results (equipment, sensitive, high-risk) exceeding targets. Fleet Utilization exceeding targets.
• 8.3 & 8.4 Sensitive Property & Information (partially BSS) :
Security in Property Protection Areas – Exceeding expectations. Security contractor – Back to Fermilab 10/1. Proposals in hand. High Risk Property – 100% accountability, no adverse events.
17 2010 FRA Visiting Committee – Business Services
2) Service Culture
• IT: BSS is a consumer. Experiencing longer response time to problems and less strategic influence since the reorganization. Have not seen a list of specific desired effects or analysis of outcomes. CD management is communicative and direct channels to IT management are open.
• Track and Trend: BSS is both consumer and participant. Tracking tools have improved for both management and ES&H assessments (assessment schedule and CAPs, frESHtrk). May be too soon to tell.
• Comp, Employee Relations, Employment: BSS is a consumer. These functions operate reliably for the BSS support organization to enable and support excellence in science.
• Benefits: BSS is a consumer. Have seen significant increase in outreach and efforts to administer benefits at higher customer service level.
18 2010 FRA Visiting Committee – Business Services
2) Service Culture
• ARRA: BSS is a service provider. Supported ARRA procurement energetically and effectively.
Kept focused on successful contract execution during a record procurement dollar volume year ($130M by mid-year, over $200M presently).
Performance metrics for customer satisfaction, subcontract file compliance, competition levels, requisition turnaround, procurement innovations, supplier management, employee alignment/satisfaction, and the cost to operate indicate high levels of performance.
No audit findings.
• Improvements desired: iProcurement, online catalog ordering. <4 hour restore time for crashed “constant service provider” desktop? On-line travel booking (taking some steps now)
• Also see “Other Accomplishments” (p. 16)
19 2010 FRA Visiting Committee – Business Services
3) ARRA Wind-Down
• BSS ARRA work is concentrated in Procurement. Procurement volume a stretch, but the work has been
executed with existing staff, systems and procedures.
Excellent support from Legal Office on new contract requirements, flow-down requirements, terms & conditions.
Staff asked to go the extra mile.
Looking forward: Subcontract administration on ARRA construction projects will
continue well into the next fiscal year. After that, staff will be redirected to future projects. Effort also
needed to implement changes in federal procurement system. Cross-training is underway for an imminent retirement. OHAP
FY11 plan shows position replaced and another position to allow constant engagement of procurement staff on future projects.
20 2010 FRA Visiting Committee – Business Services
4) Integrating OQBP Efforts
• QAR appointed from and supported by Section Office, shared to Finance.
• Section Head is member of Assurance Council.
• Interfaced substantially with URS/EG&G staff: Help understanding of business requirements & processes. Provide feedback on proposed changes and improvements.
• Integrating self-assessment & management assessment.
• CAS: Involved with identification of management systems, Assurance Council deliberations, and direct interaction with OQBP staff on IQA and CAS program documentation.
21 2010 FRA Visiting Committee – Business Services
4) Integrating OQBP Efforts (continued)
• BSS QAR and BSS/FI SSO participated in Suspect / Counterfeit Items (S/CI), Lessons Learned (LL), program development; QAR attended Root Cause training and SSO attended Human Performance Indicator (HPI) training – Fermilab is trying to come to agreement on a combined effort.
22 2010 FRA Visiting Committee – Business Services
5) Interaction with Argonne
• Travel Organized DOE Contractor Travel Managers' Meeting in May,
2010 in Chicago. Led efforts of Fermilab and Argonne in organizing the meeting and scheduling the agenda. (new Travel manager at ANL)
• Information Resources Ongoing lunch meetings with Records Management staff
• Procurement & Transportation Services Using procurement & shipping advice from ANL, achieved cost
savings >$800K from duty-free entry for WLS fiber for NOA.
• Property Fermilab continues to recycle all of ANL’s electronics.
23 2010 FRA Visiting Committee – Business Services
6) Safety Program True State
• Q: Which year is representative? A: Both. This year’s remarkably low rates indicate a deep and broad
commitment to safety and a solid, well developed program. Last year’s “high” rates are still much lower than long term
historical results; this also indicates an effective program. Even if the statistics of small numbers means that neither
year can represent the true state, taken together and in long term historical perspective it is clear that a dramatic improvement has occurred. This is indicative of the program.
When rates are compared to published BLS/DOL statistics, by industry & job classification, Fermilab experience is superior.
24 2010 FRA Visiting Committee – Business Services
6) Safety Program True State (continued)
• BSS has no DART cases for last 571 days.
• BSS has no OSHA Recordable Cases since 1/6/09.
• No adverse environmental incidents.
• National Safety Council Safe Driver Award: All BSS Transportation Department drivers for the period 11/1/2007 and continuing.
• Notable Outcome for FEC/EPEAT: All BSS acquisitions of computer electronics were EPEAT Certified.
• Notable Outcome for ISO14000 & OHSAS registration: BSS contributed to this Fermilab success.
• Recycled content / recyclable cafeteria cups (w/ incentives) & containers (some).
• Exceeding targets for alternate fuel use and petroleum reduction.
25 2010 FRA Visiting Committee – Business Services
7) Succession Planning
Broader issue addressed by Bruce: Budget and low turnover precluded action.
Reminder: +1 Procurement Administrator, June 2009.
Opened new Assistant Property Manager position, filled via transfer from Procurement (Jan 2010), refilled Procurement with well qualified external hire (April 2010).
+1.2 FTE Procurement Admins in OHAP starting in FY11.

2009 Visiting Committee Recommendations
Recommendations and Current Status
Maintain strong IT internal controls – controls internal to Lab appear to be strong; hosted-solution-provider controls are a concern
Complete the implementation of Fermilab Time & Labor – went live labwide on 6/21/10 with Kronos hosted solution.
Institute additional oversight on ARRA funds. – CFO approval required on all ARRA requisitions
Participate in benchmarking with other labs – budget constraints did not allow for Hackett study this year; participating in “informal” benchmarking with other labs
2010 FRA Visiting Committee - Finance
2009 Visiting Committee Recommendations (cont.)
Recommendations and Current Status
Implement an automated travel settlement system – not started – IT project priorities not yet set
Add budget office staff to perform more analysis of indirect costs and improve lab-wide budgeting tools – no additional staff for these tasks; 80%-employee added to handle pre-CD-1 budget responsibilities for 4 new projects
Pay biweekly instead of weekly and consider outsourcing payroll processing – still considering change from weekly to biweekly; must stabilize FTL and then update cost analysis

as agenda item in all department staff meetings• Long-standing goal in Payroll to answer all questions
within 24 hours• Long-standing goal in Travel to keep voucher
backlog to 2 weeks or less• Grants & Contracts manager holds PIs’ hands
through grant process
2010 FRA Visiting Committee - Finance
Charge Question #2 – Service Culture (cont.)
• Finance’s ability to improve service without adding staff depends on sustained IT support to address backlog of needs:
Labwide budgeting tool Labor planning tool (may be part of budgeting tool) Travel reservation and settlement system(s) Electronic invoice approval system Labwide sharing/collaboration/document management
system(s) Conversion to SGL-based chart of accounts
2010 FRA Visiting Committee - Finance
Charge Question #3 – ARRA
• Finance did not hire any additional staff to administer the $114M of ARRA funds.
• Reporting burden has diverted resources from other efforts
2010 FRA Visiting Committee - Finance
Charge Question #4 – Interaction with Office of Quality & Best Practices
• Finance has participated fully in the implementation of the QA program.
• Most of Finance’s significant processes are documented and routinely tested as part of the A-123 assessment process. Finance has added less-significant processes to the A-123 assessment each year.
• A-123 processes will comprise all/most of the processes in the Finance “Management System” under Contractor Assurance.
2010 FRA Visiting Committee - Finance
Charge Question #5 – Interaction with Argonne
• Fermilab and Argonne COOs and CFOs meet together every ~ 6 weeks to discuss problems and identify ways we can help each other.

2009 Visiting Committee Recommendations(There were no findings)
2009 FRA Visiting Committee - Finance
2010 FRA Visiting Committee - ESH
Recommendation and Current Status
Accident Rates• Continue to monitor and manage• Keep FSO informed
• Expanded the charter of the IIP and continue to diligently monitor and manage our cases.
• FSO has a representative on the IIP.• Injuries and accidents discussed weekly at the 4pm meeting
with the directorate and FSO, as well as at the weekly Scheduling Meeting.
More to come on this in the next few slides.
• Met 100% of ES&H PM goals in Environmental and Radiation Protection were met in 2009.
• Met 100% our goals in Emergency Planning and Nuclear Materials.
• Did not meet the DART (<0.25) and TRC (<0.65) goals. 2009 values are higher than we would like, but they are in line with 2006-2007 (and earlier).
• 2009 DART was 0.63, 2009 TRC was 1.23.• Hope to meet the DART and may meet the TRC goals
in FY2010. This would be an great accomplishment.

Updated, customer oriented ESH web pages due out in September 2010.
95 2010 FRA Visiting Committee - ESH
Charge Question #1 – Performance Measures
Notable Outcomes for FY10 (will meet all): Maintain ISO 14001 & OHSAS 18001 (Objective 5.1)
• Very successfully completed re-registration (every 3 years).
FNAL will meet planned FY2010 milestones contained in the Corrective Action Plan that is being developed in response to the March 2009 Accelerator Safety Review. (Objective 5.2) – all FY10 milestones have been met.
In support of the Federal Electronics Challenge and the requirements of Executive Order 13423, FNAL will reduce the environmental impact of using personal computers… (Objective 5.3) – this has been met.
A joint FNAL/FSO review of the Emergency Management Program (Objective 8.1) – the report for this assessment is being finalized.
96 2010 FRA Visiting Committee - ESH
Charge Question #1 – Performance Measures
IT Resources:• Several lab wide tools were greatly improved or developed
with CD in FY10:• frESHTRK – a greatly improved system for
tracking/trending/verifying completion of ESH issues.• Lessons Learned (LL) database – (in conjunction with OQBP)
for tracking LL.• Continuous Improvements database• Traffic Violations database – improved to automate the new
traffic safety discipline process.
• ESH hired a database analyst to help address smaller issues with our databases and work closely with CD.
• CD has posted an opening for a Functional Analyst to work with ES&H to develop information technology solutions.
97
Charge Question #2 – Developing & Sustaining a Service Culture
2010 FRA Visiting Committee - ESH
Increased ability to track and trend in ES&H? frESHTRK makes data entry, tracking, and trending easier. New communication hire working on leading indicators of
first aide cases, TRC and DARTs; ES&H Concerns. Lessons Learned & Improvements database Setting up databases to more easily look at traffic issues,
days away, restricted leave, categorization of issues. All ES&H subcommittees have charters now that address
the issue of trends within their areas.
Tracking and trending is important, but is only useful if the preferred behaviors are effectively communicated to personnel.
98 2010 FRA Visiting Committee - ESH
Charge Question #2 – Developing & Sustaining a Service Culture
Getting the person to fill the open CD position to help ES&H databases be best utilized at the lab and to make sure ES&H is aligned with CD’s vision.
Continuation/utilization of the programs/databases we have put in place.
Successful completion of the new ES&H web pages.
Continued improvement in sharing of problems and good ideas between D/S/C and laboratories (and resources).
A new hire for the environmental group.
Less variations in DOE requirements over time, clearer DOE guidance, and more realistic response times from DOE.
99 2010 FRA Visiting Committee - ESH
Charge Question #2 – Improvements I’d like to see…
ES&H Supports the NEPA process for ARRA and construction oversight/training (~2 people).
Significant work at the lab exists for these personnel after the ARRA projects are done.
ES&H personnel involved in ARRA were several hats and thus are trained in other areas also.
100 2010 FRA Visiting Committee - ESH
Charge Question #3 – ARRA Wind Down
Key that OQBP and ES&H (and other D/S/C) work together to use/improve the current systems when appropriate.
• This team approach is improving from the ES&H perspective.
Communication:• We have a QA Representative who interacts with OQBMP
and keeps the Section Head informed.• ES&H Section representation on Assurance Council .• ES&H and OQBP personnel have worked together on some
assessments. • OQBP and ES&H worked together on the Lessons Learned
database and are working together on the lab wide Root Cause Analysis program.
We were the main aspect of the DOE/FSO Contractor Assurance (Order 226) Review in 2009 (CAP finalized).
ES&H Management Systems and major processes are defined. Section is documenting all major processes.
101 2010 FRA Visiting Committee - ESH
Charge Question #4 – Integrating OQBP Efforts
• ANL and FNAL ES&H collaborate frequently on ergonomics, life and fire safety, training, radiation issues, industrial hygiene. This will continue.
• Personnel provide support for reviews at each others facilities (mainly fire & life safety and radiation support on FNAL end).• This will continue.
• Discussed issues of the EO on green house gases.• Discussions will continue on environmental issues (Fall workshop
at ANL).
• Finalized the Emergency Response MOU between ANL and FNAL.
102 2010 FRA Visiting Committee - ESH
Charge Question #5 – Interaction with Argonne
• Future Plans: Will soon implement an Memorandum Purchase Order
(MPO) with ANL to provide radionuclide analysis support to FNAL.
• ANL has more depth in personnel for this process/program.• One of the two key people in this area at FNAL retired.• Reduces risk to FNAL due to depth of personnel at ANL.• UC/DOE relationship helps facilitate this process.
Setting up an MOU with ANL to provide NEPA support for FNAL projects.
ANL and FNAL ES&H Directors met recently and discussed more ways to work together – a shared internet workspace? – resources on both sides make this difficult.
103 2010 FRA Visiting Committee - ESH
Charge Question #5 – Interaction with Argonne
2008 rates were remarkably low. 2009 rates were in line with previous year’s rates.
Believe 2008 was an anomaly and the rates of 2009 and earlier years were the result of the existing ES&H program at that time.
Program improvements typically do not change measures for at least 6 months to a year.
Would like to think that some of the changes implemented in FY2009/2010 are creating the change in rates.
I feel I need another year of these rates to more comfortably state that! I am hoping…

Discussed succession planning with ES&H Section personnel. Have a plan for the near term needs (5 years)
• Budget issues greatly limit the ability to address succession planning as it is difficult to afford to overlap key personnel in order to train successors (thus our collaboration on radionuclide analysis with ANL). This is a worrisome risk.
• Uncertainty in retirement dates and future lab projects also makes it difficult to plan (D&D of Tevatron issues)
• We have developed backups for personnel and are documenting processes more clearly.
Have hired personnel (communication/integration, database analyst, radiation physicists) to add depth and plan for the future.
Will need to hire additional personnel, but do not have the budget until more personnel retire.
105 2010 FRA Visiting Committee - ESH
Charge Question #7 – Succession Planning
GHG REDUCTION: • Reduce green house gas (scope 1 and 2) by 28% (FY2008 to FY2020) .
ENERGY EFFICIENCY: • Reduce energy intensity by 30% (FY2003 to FY2015).
WATER CONSERVATION: • Reduce potable water consumption by 16% (FY2007 to FY2015).
RENEWABLE ENERGY GENERATION/CONSUMPTION: • Meet or exceed the Executive Order consumption goal to generate or
purchase 7.5% renewable electricity by 2010.
Important Note: • It is impossible to meet the energy and GHG reductions while running the
accelerator complex
106 2010 FRA Visiting Committee - ESH
Sustainability Challenge (Executive Order 13514 )
SUSTAINABLE BULDINGS – NEW CONSTRUCTION AND MAJOR RENOVATIONS:
• All new construction and major renovations over $5M achieve a LEED Gold standard. Other construction complies with the “Guiding Principles” for Federal Leadership in High Performance and Sustainable Buildings.
SUSTAINABLE BULDINGS – CURRENT INVENTORY: • Ensure that 15% of the existing federal capital asset building inventory, as
of the end of FY2015 incorporates the sustainable practices in the “Guiding Principles”.
Important Note: • The other significant, but unquantified issue, is making 15% of our building
inventory meet the “guiding principles” by 2015.

Question 1
Q2 - Developing and Sustaining a Service Culture
• IT Service Management Initiative began in 2008 before IT consolidation started Primary goal is to deliver IT services better, with greater
focus on the customer than the technology, with better consistency and with agreed service levels measured by KPIs.
3+ year effort to achieve ISO20000 certification Processes based on ITIL framework Final phase of building all processes – ends Sept 2010 New Service Manager position – to mature all processes,
work closely with customers and to get us to certification in the next 14 months.
Aggressive timescale – cost savings in long term
2010 FRA Visiting Committee - IT 114
Question 2
IT Service Management roadmap
Question 2
1152010 FRA Visiting Committee - IT
Progress towards the IT service management goals• Eileen Berman brought in from Science side to
rescue floundering Service Desk and follow up on customer issues
• Experienced consultants bring best practices from other organizations
• Capturing all service requests now and starting to get useful statistics (big culture change)
• Remote Desktop tool brought into use• Loaner laptops + Bench stock for new laptops• Service Level Agreements in progress - with metrics
on service response
2010 FRA Visiting Committee - IT 116
Question 2
Progress towards the IT service management goals• Critical Incident Management process established
(used in power outages)• Problem management and Root Cause Analysis
actively in use• Change and Release management helping make
the environment more stable• Improved account and password management• Building a knowledge base for self-service• Huge push internally to “serve the customer” and
“get the problem fixed” no matter which group is responsible/at fault (and record what was done)
2010 FRA Visiting Committee - IT 117
Question 2
Called out as best practice in QA audit
Service Desk – is gaining traction (after a rocky start) – many metrics now
2010 FRA Visiting Committee - IT 118
Question 2
Incidents created/resolved per week
IT consolidation (started FY2009) – goals to
*Standardize how we do IT / eliminate duplication *Use of Service desk and formal tracking for all
services/issues *More consistent management of systems and stronger
cyber security *Reduce costs *Reduce staff Make coherent plans to move forward with IT infrastructure
(for both science and administration) E.g. Target Enterprise Architecture E.g. Networking and Telecommunications (VOIP) E.g. Virtual servers
* these items work against perception of better service but in the end enable us to provide better value for the lab
2010 FRA Visiting Committee - IT 119
Question 2
Progress towards IT consolidation goals• Organizations are totally integrated (no fighting)• Use of Service Desk tickets established• All “IT” areas of CD (and most scientific services) will use ITIL
processes fully by end of the year• Lost > 6 FTEs in consolidation – longer response - solving• By end of FY11 core IT infrastructure components consolidation will be
complete Integrated Identity Management System (essential for almost all lab processes
and info. Systems) One email and calendar system, common virtualization infrastructure, TD servers
integrated, private web servers eliminated, central management tools, etc. Improved Network planning and operations
2010 FRA Visiting Committee - IT 120
Question 2
Consolidation of Information Systems
• Goals of eliminating duplicate systems, creating a coherent set of information systems for the lab, increasing agility of dealing with a massive backlog of needs (many on a wish list for several years) and prioritizing them to align with the lab’s scientific and business needs to create a modern efficient laboratory The needs are great and the expectations high but
progress towards these goals is limited Will discuss this in a later slide on last year’s
recommendations
2010 FRA Visiting Committee - IT 121
Question 2
ARRA Funding to add to / improve Feynman Computing Center:
New High Availability Computer Room ($4.5M)
2nd floor Cooling upgrades ($4.75M)
Funded by ARRA
(all contractor staff)
occupancy October
Layout on
3rd floor
Question 3
Integration with OQBP
• QAR from CD has been active in QA program• Trying to align ITIL processes with QA program –
e.g. Root Cause Analysis• Somewhat confusing situation with
Changing Contractor Assurance requirements New cross-cutting lab Management Systems Attempts to align/re-use/streamline various assessments Re-working and re-classifying lab policies DOE changing PEMP goals/outcomes/assessments
• Starting to align ES&H and OQBP info systems more
2010 FRA Visiting Committee - IT 123
Question 4
Interactions with ANL (acting deputy CIO is the lead person in this)
• Close cooperation on Computer Security between Computer Security Managers
• Discussions on Email strategy ANL did a Google email pilot – shared info with us
• CIOs meet in NLCIO forum• Both users of Kronos now (ANL – limited use)• Other interactions more on the scientific side
Grid computing, Data centers, Operational Review of Leadership Computing, Accelerator modeling, etc.
2010 FRA Visiting Committee - IT 124
Question 5
Computing Division and Safety
• No DART cases in 8 years > 4 million hours worked
• We have a terrific safety culture in CD - people really care CD tracks – internal newsletter
helps raise awareness
• I don’t push safety as an issue – rather focus on communications in general
2010 FRA Visiting Committee - IT 125
Question 6
Succession Planning
• Each unit of the division has capable people who could take over that unit
• Continuously look to develop people one level down also
• 2 people at U of C leadership training this year
2010 FRA Visiting Committee - IT 126
Question 7
2009 Recommendations - progress
• Streamlined and cost-effective IT services labwide New policies -> under new Management Systems ->
Assurance Council Started an Enterprise Architecture initiative (more work to
do here) Gradual acceptance of Service Desk and improvement in
Service Desk function Lots of work with Communications, Focus group
Staffing levels not yet stabilized and fully adjusted We did lose considerable effort in the consolidation and this
has been difficult to compensate for Outsourced front line service desk staff
Expanded Cyber Security council
2010 FRA Visiting Committee - IT 127
2009 Recommendations
• Plan for IT services laboratory-wide almost there – only AD has independent IT
• Controls on Enterprise business and finance systems must be maintained All controls maintained (and in fact strengthened by ITIL
release and change management) Kronos being whipped into shape to conform to our release
and change management procedures
• Address concerns of customers wanting local IT All IT consolidated, but not all Information Systems support –
FESS manages own applications, dialogue with TD on need, ES&H has one local person, Education office dialogue, ….
2010 FRA Visiting Committee - IT 128
Information Systems – governance and prioritization (FY10)• The IT infrastructure project portfolio and the Information
Systems project portfolio were selected during the budget process by Compliance, End of Life, and PEMP criteria. No room for any other projects! FTL, Fleet, ProCard front-end Email systems – end of life and security issues ES&H CAPS–tracking systems and lessons learned, WDRS on-
the-job training Identity Management – essential security infrastr. VOIP assessment Peoplesoft Upgrade - maintain currency for Payroll Teamcenter and Sharepoint implementations (QA CAPs)
2010 FRA Visiting Committee - IT 129
Information Systems – governance, portfolio management, external advice
• Gartner Executive partner – helping to set up IT Project/Program/Portfolio processes Recent 1 day workshop with CD PMO Goal to set up IT infrastructure Projects Portfolio
Management Team, and Information Systems Projects Portfolio Management Team and all processes and documents by end of October. (Later Scientific projects portfolio management team)
All currently active projects and all project requests will be taken through the processes and ranked as part of the FY11 budget process
Re-use existing forums for highest level IT steering and portfolio management (Gartner advice)
• With a flat-flat budget progress will be slow
