- BI team heavily involved, including data architect
- PMO coordinates the effort
- funded by central campus, and shifting to cloud first, SaaS first, where those "older technology" resources are repurposed to the enterprise project
- service owners are expected to be trained to the LSSGB level and have a continuous improvement plan in place
- ------------
- focus on integrations and data flow was funded in the project and managed by the EA program
- when funding for the enterprise project was finished, advanced capabilities evaporated with little support to sustain
- ------------
- small EA program - focus on standards and adherence to those standards with "architects" across institution.
- Further focus on authentication, narrow scope to keep the university out of trouble
- ----------
- EA program playing catch up with the enterprise project
- ----------
- How do we get away from one-shot lifts and move toward an continuous effort?
- change is part of what we do

- possible role of LSS
