Great question Steve. In no insignificant part, a driving purpose of establishing the Internet2 NET+ Program was to develop – through engagement within our community – a set of "minimal expectations" of application providers. The most recent development is the Cloud Scorecard (see the latest: ht ...

Thanks Eric We have made some good progress as a community (through EDUCAUSE and Internet2 NET+) to promote accommodation of the unique requirements of campuses when it comes to procurement and deployment of IT services (cloud and otherwise). To the extent that we can produce specific guidance to ...

Thanks Sherri- Great idea! NACUA has a good reference library that (https://www.nacua.org/resource-library/resources-by-topic) Perhaps EDUCAUSE and Internet2 NET+ can work with NACUBO and NACUA to socialize within the community and to EdTech services providers... ? �� I do spend a bit of time ...

Thanks for the clarification Peter – and I very much appreciate (and support) a relative focus on services rather than technology (which we deploy to deliver services). A couple of thoughts (including to some of Mike and Theresa's comments)... We need to scale services delivery support (including ...

Peter, Are you by any chance suggesting that "we" could build (or buy and configure) our "own" shared support environment (single multi-tenant instance with data/process segregation and open APIs data integration to other applications) for otherwise common "utility services" (priced appropriately ...

Love the joke Rick... �� Hoping it's not on us... While I do agree with your general concern, I do have that nagging concern that we (as a community of practice, including demand and supply side folks) don't have a reliable way of describing the value/cost even to ourselves. I have heard plenty of ...

One of the tougher challenges of being a CIO... �� High level (anymore), IT is at one-and-the-same-time a "utility" and "agility". As is usual for the former, having power, water, AC, housekeeping, etc. are expected to work ubiquitously and are rarely measured on ROI – but rather on efficiency, ...

Hi Patrick, Thanks for the reply. As you would expect, the "recognition" such as it was, included strong expressions of frustration and culture-change angst – best I can tell, an occupational hazard for CIOs (my rule is that the successful choice of a solution is one that pisses off the fewest number ...

Hi Patrick, It has been a while, but the experience might be informative... �� Between 2000-2009, the State System of Higher Education in PA implemented a "single instance" architecture of SAP for 14 universities (a bit pre-cloud, APIs – so would have done things a bit differently with current ...

Highly recommend you reach out to the Internet2 NET+ team -- 10 years+ of experience in specifically working with technology providers (primarily cloud-based) to provide that sort of guidance – and to engage with them at a more strategic level. Happy to help as well... �� Khalil
