The use of APIs within the Canvas LMS has opened the doors to automate many arduous tasks. This session will cover ways that the School of Veterinary Medicine has used those APIs to:
Have you considered deploying Application Whitelisting for your managed desktops? We'll discuss how the central campus IT unit at UC Irvine has set up Microsoft AppLocker in Windows 7 and Windows 10, the benefits and productivity improvements we have experienced for both the Desktop team as well as the clients, the challenges we have faced, and the shortcomings of AppLocker.
Is the Service Portfolio for your organization growing? Is your organization taking a cloud first strategy? Have you ever wondered how you will manage access between all your on premises and cloud services? Come see how UCLA and UCSC are tackling their role and access management challenges.
Moving from a traditional data center model to AWS creates many challenges including handling incident response for AWS systems. UCSC has a substantial set of hosts deployed in AWS and has solved our incident response issue using AWS features coupled with an on-premise Elastic cluster.
Cloud computing environments have been designed around the needs of web development companies with in-house software development teams. Devops engineers write software specifically around the capabilities of their cloud provider, making full use of the elasticity and flexibility these environments provide. Much of the software our higher education enterprises depend on assumes a more static and unchanging platformsthan the cloud provides. How then do we bring legacy macroservices into these highly dynamic environments?
In this session Adam Napolitan discusses how to identify the different audiences coming to your site, their behaviors and how to design a site that can be optimized for many audiences. Using a case study of the UC Davis home site redesign to give examples and illustrate how to methodically document the different users and their behaviors.
The thousand decisions your department makes every day can't be directed in your executive offices or planned out by your managers. You need your entire organization to prioritize making every day better than the last.
"More providers (healthsystems) are realizing the potential impact modern APIs have on bottom lines, both in patient care and in profit. In a 2014 HIMSS Analytics Survey, 83% of healthcare providers reported using cloud services. HL7’s decision to develop FHIR, along with Meaningful Use Stage 3 API requirements, have solidified the hype and marked API essential for a provider.
UCSF has built and continues to improve a shared, secure, and HIPAA compliant research platform capable of storing PHI on AWS. Using an increasingly popular multi-account architecture, we will demonstrate how this platform can support and secure an unlimited number of university-governed research projects and users. This includes a dive into our platform’s architecture, compliance strategies, tooling, and operating model.
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. As much alluring as 'greenfield development might be, the 'nuke and pave' solution is far too disruptive to be considered a viable option. Instead, the goal is to keep University business going: tracking proposals into grants, budgeting for payroll and other expenses while meeting grant requirements. The technology that presents these tools to the end user should not be apparent to them.
