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 resolution time.  In addition we increased our ability to fulfill requests from Zuckerberg San Francisco General Hospital.   The session will review how we achieved a forty percent reduction in our ticket time while increasing service offerings to the campus researchers. 

Test Automation and Continuous Integration are two pillars of a robust DevOps culture. But how to get started?

Join us for this session as we:

In less than 18 months, UC Santa Cruz moved two major mission-critical applications - consisting of nine distinct components - from on-prem to the cloud.  In this talk, we will discuss at a high level:

• the impetus behind these changes,

• the security and organizational workflow benefits,

• the environmental sustainability impact,

as well as some of the nitty-gritty:

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.

This is the first transactional web application by UCOP hosted on the AWS cloud.

We would like to share our journey, learnings, experiences and the challenges faced during the implementation.

This session will review important factors and key decisions that have driven our implementation and customizations of the enterprise software (PeopleSoft) our institution uses to track awards and process related financial transactions.  Areas of discussion will include: Chart of Accounts, the structure of Awards and Projects, Generating F&A and Revenue transactions, processing Billing, tracking Receivables and Payments, and Reporting challenges.

At UCSF,  IT has partnered with the Clinical & Translational Science Institue (CTSI) and the Institute for Computational Health Sciences (ICHS) to build a de-identified version of its Caboodle - Clinical Data Warehouse (CDW)  to support UCSF research investigators to have greater self-service access to EHR data. 

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. We will show you how we tracked our progress and most importantly give you our lessons learned so that other UC locations can use this information in their upcoming implementation.

This session will begin with an overview of UCOP's MFA deployment, key decisions and lessons learned. Next we'll compare UCOP's solution to what other UC locations have done. Finally, we'll discuss how location MFA deployments can support stronger authentication for system-wide applications. 

UCSF, faced with a daunting set of reporting requirements requiring multiple data sources and formats, identical reported figures that didn't match up, and diverse reporting platforms, modeled and built a data structure to house a wide array of numerical measures and metrics that are loaded and calculated in one place and used across reports for well-governed, accurate and consistent data.

Join UC Merced on a journey of tremendous growth and transformation.  Learn how leadership is strategically and methodically managing the doubling of the campus footprint, roaring past 10,000 students by 2020, while maintaining the same OIT staffing counts. We will cover IT strategies, communication, execution and more by diving into maturation practices, automation, service management, etc.
