Revolution to Evolution of Site Strategic Technologies

• Revolution to Evolution in:

– Communications

– Applications

– Collaboration

– Service

– Critical Success Factors

Agenda

Communications

• More “W” – Wireless (area and within building)– Wi-Max (more area coverage)– Improved Site-wide Cellular Coverage

(Verizon)• More Speed

– 10gig Ethernet Switch

Applications• Fewer “Homegrown” Systems and more COTS

– BPMP – Oracle/PeopleSoft– BrassRing, Taleo

• Improve Productivity– Single Sign-on– HSPD-12 implementation

• Sunset Unproductive Applications– Analyze, Incorporate, Disintegrate

• Reduce Paper– Online procedures– Electronic Records– Drawings

Collaboration• Less Travel time

– Video Conferencing– Audio Conferencing – via Global Crossing– Lotus Notes Sametime

• Unfettered Internet Access– Citrix Open Internet– Green Network Drops

• Knowledge Sharing– Lambda Rail (Lab Collaboration)– Beginnings of “Cloud” Considerations

Services• Service Catalog with Preferred Vendor

– All IT requests in one place– Services include Hardware, Software, Peripherals, etc.– SHI eCatalog integration with existing PeopleSoft

Supply Chain Management

• Customer Focus– Understanding the Customers’ Needs and Proving IT

Value– Integrate Solutions by Thinking Globally

From No Coverage to Coverage

Five Key Focus Areas for IT

1. Run and support IT assets safely, securely, reliably and efficiently

2. Improve reliability, the transparency of IT costs, and our overall project planning, prioritization and execution capabilities

3. Deliver the critical few IT Investment Strategy initiatives with excellence

4. Sustain the value of these investments through effective support and an improved ability to extract the intended value

5. Shape the IT vision and strategy aligned with business, and set priorities for Information Technology at SRS
