  1. Transforming the business of HE A different way of doing IT 18th June 2012

  2. AgendaReasons to changePlatformThe Nexus CloudBenefits to the community

  3. Origins • Seeded by HEFCE UMF funding • Originally intended to support the migration to shared services • However market research told us that current priorities are: Process efficiencies Improving the student experience Automating information transfers to external agencies • Shared services will follow

  4. The force for change in the sector is strong • Today we have Monolithic IT systems supplemented with add-ons to compensate for shortcomings Processes constrained by what systems allow Lots of workarounds Batch transfers and corresponding delays Poor data quality Etc.

  5. The result: • Can’t change easily or quickly • Introducing new offers takes too long • Can’t introduce fine grained services • Student and staff experience is sub-optimal • Data quality is poor • Cost of IT is high

  6. Service Oriented Architecture • At the intersection of IT architecture and working practices • Process steps delivered by services orchestrated into a work flow • Internet technologies enable remote services and the use of public information

  7. Nexus SOA Platform Elements • Messaging • Enterprise Service Bus • Workflow orchestration • Business rules engine • Registry • Adapters

  21. Benefits to the community • Affordable platform Open Source platform Central ESB costs shared Adaptors freely available– build once: use many Standard integrations reduce cost and risk Community has a say in what we build and what the priorities are

  22. Flexible deployment • Common message set makes implementation simpler • Independent, sector based help • Plug and play services • Location independent services • Enables most economic infrastructure selection

  23. Process Agility • Integrations are simpler • New services can be added • Existing services can be modified and versioned • Processes can be personalised Quickly and easily!

  24. In practice we can help to • Make processes better/faster and/or cheaper to run • Improve data quality • Automate information provision • Free up administrator time • Improve student and staff experience • Minimise provisioning delays • Improve cash flows • Reduce the cost of IT
