PIF Notes
Purpose The IT Strategic Plan defines the need to improve competitiveness through the delivery of prepositioned, scalable and integrated computing services to enable “big data” use at CWRU. For project purposes, “big data” can be defined as data sets with sizes beyond the ability of commonlyused software tools to capture, manage, and process the data within a tolerable elapsed time. ITS has engaged the university community in the area of analytics and datadriven decision making through the creation of the "Analytics Club" with Chris Ash and experimentation with big data through efforts such as project 1383. As these efforts continue, the next step is the deployment of a productionquality big data analytics service, which is the goal of the proposed effort. Scope Design and implement as productionquality big data platform suitable for analytic efforts Statement utilizing a variety of structured and unstructured data, including both research data and data collected and analyzed for the purpose of optimizing business outcomes and improving our competitive advantage as a researchintensive institution of higher learning. This project will leverage the information gathered in project 1383. The project includes: Determine final functional requirements Conduct final evaluation of onpremise vs offpremise deployment approach Create big data production service Benefits Improve research competitiveness Improve time to value in processing “big data” Deliver effective and innovative services Enhance research collaborations Faculty exploration into “big data” technologies Enable datadriven decision making Portfolio Portfolio Project Name Projects No portfolio projects found https://cwru.quickbase.com/db/bhf3arwre?a=printr&rid=269&dfid=2&rl=yet
