• Modular functional systems (avoid single-vendor multi-functional systems); middleware integration; business intelligence layer; well-designed data models and intentional stewardship
• Have degrees of control (approach, timing, cost) where available
• Have options (for the things we can’t predict or control)
Information Systems and Services Architectural and Strategic
Direction
Community-Source software for financials and research administration

• Need features not provided by commercial software (“of, by and for higher education”)
• Few real integration gains from “all in one” single-vendor solutions; “black box” data models
• Differential change frequency
• High switching cost => high vendor dependency
• Gain timing options (“no disruptive upgrades”; own the source code)
Community Source model
Community Source describes a model for the purposeful coordination of work in a community.
• Explicitly defined roles and responsibilities of community members
• Specified functional scope• Specified architecture• Development standards• Standardized quality assurance and testing• Funded commitments by community members
