  16. Statistical Perspective

  17. Software Management Tools

  18. Statistics – driving refresh Rough Statistical Data Derived from TEM & Flair

  19. Operational Imperatives • Build an operational plan – possible components • Physical facility – power redundancy • Hardware Refresh (Smart) • Virtualization • High availability platforms • Network upgrades • Enterprise Backup • Enterprise Databases (SQL & Oracle) • Operating Systems software release levels • Continue software management tool initiatives (DB & Network) • Self Service information dashboards • Process Improvement (response, PMO, CRM, ITIL)

  20. Goals 2013 • Cost Efficiencies • Continue Consolidation efforts, maximize resources, lower costs, contract efficiencies • Smart Refresh – not replace in kind - Leverage virtualization in server and storage environments & pursue enterprise offerings • Continue to explore and leverage Grant opportunities • Expand Customer Base – (i.e. Hillsborough County, City of Jacksonville) – Market our services to reduce costs • Enhance Data Center Process Efficiency & Performance Levels • Enhance physical facility to meet higher performance level requests from customers • Leverage best practice approaches to delivery of services (utilize vendor resources) • Define measurement and related process of up-time reporting (monthly performance report) • Define process and identify resources (staff and/or automated) needed to provide metric feedback as per customer SLAs • Develop an operational plan for the next 12 months • Software Management Tools (DB & Network)

  21. Goals 2013 • Security • Continue to refine vulnerability assessment tools keeping pace with best practice • Refine policies & procedures • Refine internal audit program for compliance • Customer Focus • Enhance cross Customer Communication (i.e. quarterly Customer CIO roundtables) • Automate information sharing with customers through intranet tools • Increase customer involvement throughout the process, continue monthly customer meetings etc. • Disaster Recovery • Develop an enterprise DR strategy (cooperative effort) that identifies • Customer needs • Fiscal capabilities • Defines best practice options • Defines “action plan” for PDC DR offerings • Cloud Computing • Foster cloud computing, where appropriate, as a cost effective alternative

  22. 5099 Bill Changes Specific changes affecting the PDC’s • AEIT central organization has been defunded. • Leaves gap in enterprise IT leadership • Will likely require PDCs to pick up functionality • Consolidation schedules established: • Legal Affairs 7/2013 • Veterans Affairs 12/2013 • Agriculture & Consumer Services 3/2014

  23. Sunset Review of Committees NSRC Board of Trustees Administrative Committee Technical Committee Finance & Audit Committee

  24. NSRC Committee Structures • Structure • Three committees work through the issues of the NSRC and bring the options and solutions to the full Board for a decision. • Rarely will an issue go to the full Board without first going through committees as appropriate. • Process allows for excellent research on issues, while bringing the optimum solutions to the Board. • Chaired by a Trustee, members by appointment of Board Chair from Agency resources as well as outside parties.

  25. Administrative Committee Accomplishments • NSRC Bylaws were amended to include a new delegate process for the At-Large Trustee. This will allow Trustees to designate an alternate At-Large Trustee from the At-Large candidate pool. • Developed and made significant progress in finalizing the ED Performance Agreement, ED Evaluation and 360 Questionnaire. • LRPP Completed. • Created a Process for Posting to the NSRC Website. • Began development of ED Performance Key Objectives. • Began development of Performance Indicators for NSRC staff. • Reviewed and update the NSRC Communication Plan. • 16 SOP’s amended and approved.

  26. Technical Committee Accomplishments • Reviewed and approved • NSRC WIC Application CPU Replacement • DMZ replacement • DASD and Virtual Tape initiatives • Core Switch Replacement • Software Management Tools • Defined Oracle DBA Roles & Responsibilities under a workgroup (SQL continuing) • Various efficiencies • Reviewed Service Catalog • Project Plans with Overlays & Write-ups for Efficiencies • 4 SOP's approved (i.e. change mgmt.)

  27. Finance Committee Accomplishments • Completed first Consolidated Equipment Financing Purchase (CEFP) for Core Network, virtual tape & DASD Storage On-Demand. • Created FLAIR & MFMP Environments due to the new OLO. • Pitney Bowes contract executed. • 2011/2012 Spend Plan was approved. • FY 2011/2012 True-Up completed. • 2012/2013 Rates defined. • 2012/2013 NSRC Budget approved. • Developed list of Efficiencies for the NSRC. • Approved funding for various initiatives • Virtual Tape approved. • WIC CPU Replacement approved. • NSRC Midrange Storage Replacement DASD-On-Demand approved. • Tivoli Endpoint Manager approved. • Funding Options outlined to cover NSRC Deficit. • 5 SOP’s amended and approved.

  28. Sunset Review- NSRC Committees • Designed to: • Assist NSRC in establishing fiscal controls, operating policies, administrative processes and procedures. • Providing research & recommendations on technical solutions. • Teams of knowledgeable staff providing (SME’s) • input • insight • perspective

  29. Committee Challenges • Difficulty in getting participation • Sometimes too much in the “weeds” • Incorrect mix of members depending on the issues • Heavy overhead in explaining technical initiatives • Sometimes insufficient time to fully vet the issues • Sometimes delays decisions – causes operational complications

  30. Sunset Review- NSRC Committees • Recommendations for consideration • Consider workgroups rather than formal committees (similar to SSRC model) • More “Collaboration” verses “Presentation” and rework • Reduces administrative overhead following rules of order and related documentation • Reduce number of meetings to ensure a full agenda and reduce strain on participants (maybe monthly) • Leverage subject matter workgroups and involve earlier in process (technical) – promotes greater understanding and decision making – bring right mix to table

  31. Thank you • To the various committees and their members who contributed time and effort to working with the NSRC to further its organization and operation • Administration Committee (John Boynton, Chair) • Finance Committee (Fred Schuknecht, Chair) • Technical Committee (Grant Sellars, Chair) • Primary Data Center Committee (Tony Powell, Chair) • Various work groups that were formed (All)
