In 2015, the university launched a strategic planning engagement that yielded a set of projects known as the strategic initiatives. That list of projects included Transform IT itself. (See the list of strategic initiatives launched by that 2015 strategic planning engagement).
It’s easy to think of these projects as part of Transform IT because they were initiated at the same time as Transform IT and through the same process. These projects, however, are different and separate from Transform IT. Many of the strategic initiatives focus on launching new services, technologies, or tools, while Transform IT focuses more broadly on all IT services offered across the institution, including those which are existing and those newly implemented.
Since Transform IT focuses on rationalizing services, and because some of the strategic initiatives have resulted in new IT services, the new strategic initiative-based services will themselves be cataloged and reviewed by Transform IT.
Many of these strategic initiatives are under way. For information about DuckDocs (workflow and document imaging), see the DuckDocs website. Other projects under way include Transform IT, the UO Service Portal (service.uoregon.edu; once known as the ITSM tool), Duo Two-Factor Authentication, Banner 9, Network Infrastructure, and Security Awareness Training. Security Information and Event Management has been implemented. Content Delivery Network and Data API have not been started.
