Key Points from the Video
• Over-reliance on key individuals
• No ‘single source’ of documentation
• Any documentation present is long since out of date
![Page 21: “ Success consists of going from failure to failure without loss of enthusiasm ”](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062521/5681697a550346895de17686/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
SQLDOT – Business Case
Provide a ‘birds-eye view’ of SQL applications
![Page 22: “ Success consists of going from failure to failure without loss of enthusiasm ”](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062521/5681697a550346895de17686/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
With SQLDOT, the traffic lights being down won’t be such a
drama!
![Page 23: “ Success consists of going from failure to failure without loss of enthusiasm ”](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062521/5681697a550346895de17686/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
So what is SQLDOT?
Is it just another application for manual input of data?
![Page 24: “ Success consists of going from failure to failure without loss of enthusiasm ”](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062521/5681697a550346895de17686/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)

The JourneyBeginning Middle Now
Not sure if SQLDOT ‘big enough’ project
User interviews showed how badly needed this tool is
Contacted Irish Local Authorities, discovered nobody has tool like SQLDOT and most wish there was such a tool
Unsure how to implement SQLDOT
We prototyped low (manual); high (auto-collect) and medium automation (combo of manual, auto)
Using prototyping, brainstorming and decision analysis we opted for medium automation
We thought SQLDOT would need to collect server status
We realised that XYMON already does this
SQDOT will link with XYMON
We wanted SQLDOT to display network information.
We realised there’s too much network info
We picked key items to include in SQLDOT –VPN’s associated and the VLAN

The Bigger Picture
Why are we the right people for the Job?
What is the on Government Sector Horizon?
Are there any other possible customers outside our own organisation?
![Page 37: “ Success consists of going from failure to failure without loss of enthusiasm ”](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062521/5681697a550346895de17686/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
Skill Sets
Our team includes a Project Manager who has worked on Nationwide projects.
We have a SQL DBA who manages Nationally centralised databases.
We have an Infrastructure Architect with knowledge of national public facing systems.

Government Sector Landscape
In June 2012 the Irish government released a Strategy Document
They suggested a plan for shared services across 10 national datacentres

Government Sector Lanscape
Budgets dried up and Government bodies are left with insufficient budgets to meet immediate needs.
![Page 41: “ Success consists of going from failure to failure without loss of enthusiasm ”](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062521/5681697a550346895de17686/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
Dublin City Council Vision
Have the infrastructure to run national shared servicesAre actively seeking to host and run nationally shared
servicesThis means even more SQL databases
![Page 42: “ Success consists of going from failure to failure without loss of enthusiasm ”](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062521/5681697a550346895de17686/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)
Dublin City Council
Run fibre around the city, have access to greater bandwidth than other authorities.
Our fibre Network is more resilient than Government Networks.

Other County Councils
We have sent out e-mails to all the county councils.None have an automated system.
All expressed interest in using such a system.

Important Bodies
In the Local Government Sector the most important ICT body is the LGMA.
They direct what software local authorities use and buy
They are interested in SQLDoT
