Status
We’ve made considerable progress against our objectives and have identified critical lessons learned:
MIGRATION
Accomplishments:
Challenges:
PeopleSoft and Oracle Financials in the cloud
Current migration velocity slow
Move from re-platforming to a“lift & shift” migration model and engage additional resources to mitigate timeline risk
“Cloud First” policy with ~200 applications migrated
STANDARDIZATION
Accomplishments:
Challenges:
Implementation and operational planning is behind
Develop smaller MVP and plan for tool establishment beyond HUIT
Produced cloud reference architecture to inform migrations
Identified common enterprise tools for HUIT to enable cloud adoption 5

6. 12/1/16
Standardization
Cloud Reference Architecture has been created to help guide architectural and procurement decisions around common tools & patterns.
Prioritize key decisions
Reduce duplicate efforts
Automate only what’s necessary for migrations

7. 4/20/17
Status (cont.)
We’ve made considerable progress against our objectives and have identified critical lessons learned:

Created cross functional portfolio teams to support migration and operations
SERVICES
Accomplishments:
Challenges:
Services definitions need to include School perspective
Continue to partner with Schools, ITSM, and PMO needed to inform service definition and planning.
