- Research
- Payroll and HR
Just bringing this fruition.
Currently moving to Kuali Financials – this is a “big rock” project that they stage. Above this is their SOA, ESB and Infrastructure layer. With IdM above that. Then Portal.
Use the roadmap to help guide the School and Department works. Hope to align the work in the School and Departments with the roadmap.
Having a transparency, rich communication and agree on principles helps with the alignment across domains and the schools and departments.
If you look down the road, you could see that the IT domain would grow as more stuff moves into the infrastructure layer. This would also allow for more modular developments.
The roadmap is application centric – the infrastructure layer should have its own roadmap.
