Schedule for Tue, Aug 14

When UC Irvine realized that advisors had access to the right data in the wrong way, we harnessed business intelligence tools to provide richer and more timely reporting through a new self-service application called Compass.

When crafting access models for content management applications, there are two interconnected standard models: that of role assignment, and that of permissions assignment.

Deploying Macs with JAMF Pro.  We will provide a high-level overview of Aggie Desktop, outline the initiative's goals and demonstrate the tools we use to achieve those goals, namely JAMF Pro.

Have you ever launched a product that did not have a happy ending? Have you ever started a project but somewhere along the way lost sight of why you were actually doing it?

What we do is important.  Without a connection of how our actions impact our organization, change can become an insurmountable obstacle rather than a positive agent for success.

UC San Diego launched a web application, Enrollment Authorization System (EASy) for students, staff and faculty to streamline the process of requesting and granting authorization to enroll in classes.  The system facilitates the enrollment authorization workflow communicat

Maintaining an enterprise software system is not walk in the park. The system is critical to the daily job of fleets of staff members across over 50 departments on the UCSB campus.

Research data delivery is an important part of the UC mission.  This session will address how at UCSF, we went from a research data delivery time of 131 days to 78 days by streamlining our processes.  With close collaboration with CTSI, we improved client satisfaction and decreased mean ticket re

In 2017 the UC Electronic Accessibility Committee initiated a request for proposals for automated web accessibility testing software as well as web accessibility training services.

The Research Data Management program at UC Berkeley has, for the past three years, provided on-the-ground consulting to researchers from disciplines spanning the campus.

Browse, Request, Find Answers, Get Help, and My Stuff

The recent IT Rationalization at UCR presented an opportunity to completely revamp the central IT helpdesk to an effective and trusted campus partner. This transformation required us to focus on ourselves as people, our processes and the tools used in our daily service delivery.

We all write email, give presentations, and/or answer lots of questions from our teams and managers. The "What? So What? Now What?" method lets you quickly and concisely frame and address any topic in any of these formats.

UCSF has spent the last several years improving our security posture, including hardening systems, tightening border routers, expanding DLP, and adding other types of threat protection.

Coaching to Quell Lingering Resistance in the Wake of Change

I wish to discuss the history of women in STEM fields (focusing on the computer industry), including the challenges and the lessons learned. That history has a bearing on current workplace issues, and gives us a context.

When we set out to re-write Ilios in 2014 the most important metric we targeted with every decision was confidence. Developers had to be confident in every change,  and users needed to be confident in every release.

While Git is primarily used for version control for code and software development, it is also increasingly used for working with non-code data and files. Libraries in particular are increasingly using Git and GitHub in the context of metadata workflows.

In this session, Senior Solution Architect, Mitchell Hurd, will share best practices on how to enable cutting edge research in AI and machine learning through high performance computing, promote student success and retention through mobile engagement and simplify management through optimizing hyb

Are you a hardware person and want to know how the other half lives? Are you a software person who wants to make your code better? Are you an app admin who has to put out fires every day because of fragile software?

User interaction is fundamental to successful IT operations within an organization. A disconnect between the end user point of view and the IT professional is growing.

Compliance with accessibility standards is essential for allowing users of diverse technologies to access and interact with information on their computer, in apps, and through online sources.

Description:
This session looks at an active project at UC San Diego that has developed into:

The UC Health locations are forging partnerships with community hospitals and physician practices to host their respective Electronic Medical Record (EMR) systems.

The JobBuilder application was an on-premise application originally hosted by UC Merced.

We at UCOP TDS-EAS Team (Donna Yamasaki's team) re-wrote the application and hosted it on the Amazon Web Services (AWS) cloud for use by UC system wide.

The UC IT Strategic Sourcing Team and the UC IT community partnered on a UC wide RFP encompassing a wide range of IT infrastructure products in the following categories:  Routers and Switches, Se

We have all experienced situations where seemingly great technological solutions get implemented and then they fail spectacularly. This can be from low user adoption, complex processes or the simple fact that the solution was not what was ask.

The cost of care-and-feeding for user endpoints like desktop and laptop computers and mobile devices throughout their lifecycle typically far exceeds the purchase cost.

This session will discuss privacy and security issues with the residual artifacts created when using the Windows operating system.

Hooray! There’s a new rollout on the horizon and everyone’s gonna...love it? Well at the very least, you can apply these seven tips during your software rollouts to minimize confusion during times of change.

Many shared services within UC start small and grow over time.  Given the right conditions and support, services can expand from unit, campus, multi-campus, to system-wide and beyond.  Each step along the way presents new opportunities and challenges.  I'll share why we expanded UC Recruit and ho

UCOP rolled out a strategic sourcing contract with Zoom in 2016.  Penetration was so successful that contract pricing fell by 10% in 2017.  With the availability of this new tool to enhance collaboration, there has been a desire to utilize the tool in many areas.  Some of those departments contai

Berkeley Research Computing and UC Berkeley's Haas School of Business have partnered to provide new computing options to researchers at Haas.

Cloud computing environments have been designed around the needs of web development companies with in-house software development teams.

Are you being asked to do more with less? We are. IT is often expected to perform magic by automating business processes, but that fails miserably when the process is cumbersome to begin with!

We will describe our test planning and execution experiences in the UCPath Pilot conversion project. How we successfully used borrowed campus resources from HR, Academic Personnel, Payroll and Finance to plan, execute and validate each test phase.
