IT Consultancy Proposal Many CERN groups and users do computing projects and would benefit from early enough consulting with an IT expert: To exchange ideas to understand the supported IT landscape at CERN Help with system architecture and design Assess impact on security, software licenses, cost Enable the IT department to identify demands early enough in order to consider central provisioning Ignacio is working with the GLs and other members to make a proposed staffing and mandate There are a number of IT activities at CERN that are out of IT Department. Many of them would benefit from consulting with an IT expert preferably at an early stage to provide a wider view to understand de IT landscape at CERN, help with system architecture and design, encourage reuse, etc. CERN could save money by having a wider view when starting computing activities. While realizing that some groups may never agree, giving an access point for consultancy may help with a large fraction of projects.

2016 Reorganisation Type of move Impact on form Method 1 Method 2 Group moves to dept None if SV and GL stay the same / Section moves to group SV remains same; GL changes Supervisor signs form; New GL forwards with rights to old GL; Both GLs sign form. New GL consults old GL for his/her appraisal and includes this in the comments. Only new GL signs form. Individual move or merge of 2 sections and/or groups SV and GL change New SV forwards with rights to old SV; Both SVs sign form. New SV consults old SV for his/her appraisal and includes this in the comments. Only new SV signs the form. SV or GL leaves CERN Where possible they should complete their part of the MARS form before leaving. Otherwise, they should leave a written record with new SV/GL, MARS Coordinator, HRA, Dept Head. Staff members should NOT forward with rights to a SV/GL. This would give SV/GL only the same rights as staff member, i.e. they would not be able to add their evaluation. IT-CM Group Meeting
