Issues:
Funding for Programming resources may need to be identified to
move project into Delivery. The name of the project is in flux caused by
the concern that the use of Asset Management may create confusion with the
Property Office.
Key learnings:
SAP can provide the solutions to the stated needs of Both Hardware
Services and Software Libraries. The solution provided will be the
foundation for many other areas within and external to IS. Additional
Phases of the Delivery Project will be recommended to realize the full
benefit of SAP.
Team dynamics:
The team has done an outstanding job in conducting the process
reviews and identifying alternate approaches. The FSS/IS combination has
led to heightened awareness on both sides of the others organization and
services.

None.
