Update on task raised by the project sponsors:
We should seek end users to get involved in validating the R4 installation and tools – could look for volunteers from the Business User Group and approach the HSS consultancy team for contacts (could be Fraser Muir and Abdul that get involved directly). - AMcF continuing to follow up with consultancy teams.
Update on tasks raised by WIS review:
Requested that we engage more with influencial staff in the University to promote the benefits of R4 - CM/AMcF to push back on, see this as role of new Senior Business Intelligence Manager
Establish a QA governace group for training material from a collection of end users (reducing risk of training failing) - CM/AMcF raised with Business Stakeholder, now also seeking end users outside of universe owners list for participation.
Investigate option to purchase e-learning courses (where resouce is tight, paying for deliverables from external firms should be considered) - Review of learning material complete need to make decision on which one to purchase (https://www.wiki.ed.ac.uk/display/boxiug/eLearning+offerings)
Project team to present a professional front for R4, potentially making use of consultants to promote R4 (communication strategy already allows for roadshows) - AMcF to investigate potential to have external speakers, CM to consider scope of project (e.g. aren't we straying into BI strategy)
Project team to build links with HE community - AMcF on HE forum for BOXI and SAP User Group, consider attending SAP ED user conference - May not be value for time invested
