8. ProblemSolutions??? How do we integrate existing systems? How do we integrate WITH existing systems? Focus on business needs not technical perfection. Use common IDs and structures. Always plan for data re-use. Use technologies in line with your developing culture. The institution is re-organising the department, its courses, everything! Use small scale projects for incremental gains; plan for delays. Resources?!Identify key stakeholders in your institution and get their buy-in. How do we get (and keep) stakeholder engagement? Establish regular, high quality communications; find champions and use them! Deliver ‘quick wins’ to promote the cause. We have an annual cycle and refresh all the data. How do we do updates? Review content management processes – XIM will have suggestions in the future! We have other projects that cut across course advertising information! Eliminate or reduce inter-project dependencies; actively manage risks.
