Chuck Carlin introduced group from SCT. Jack Cramer gave a summary of what SCT is doing. There will be two products. The first RLS will be Banner + a knowledge system. The second will be New IS + a knowledge system. Distributed object technology is in it infancy and is growing. This has held up progress. Rollout will be over a 4-5year period and we are currently 6 months behind where we would like to be.
After SCT left, group discussion followed.
- Demo of Banner Functionality (maybe by UNCG)
- Base line of support requirements (IT & Functional)
- Comparison of Plus to Banner functionality by SCT
- Involvement functional Workgroup (NOW)
- Implications with OSC
- Implications on current Web for implementation
Need to think about overall change in technology and how it is affecting each campus.
Options
- Stay with Plus - limited enhancements
- Move to Banner
Agreement - investigate.
UNCG will see what can arranged on their campus for the group. Suggestions:
Ask SCT to do overview of Banner. Combined with 3, 2 and 6. Comments on technical and functional. Do everything.
Get together with SCT before the next meeting. Learn what you can at EDUCAUSE.
Motion made and approved to purchase NT machines for UNC Asheville and UNC Wilmington.
Motion made and approved to acquire Sun training for the remaining campuses.
PSP:
Funding to move forward with the Western implementation. These funds will come out of the strategic reserve funds. This is how PSP was originally funded. It will clearly be November before anything can proceed with completion first quarter 2001.
Future action items: Campus Pipeline. The Chair will come up with some information for the next meeting on the lucent fire wall, putting our web for, payment gate and pipeline behind that, in addition to internet and document what rules we put on that so you will have an idea. Another item discussed was a development machine for campus pipleline, which is a smaller sun box. We are actually working with Pipeline to come up with a suggestion.
There will be a video conference on payment gateway this month with VCs of Finance, Controllers, Wachovia, State Controller's office and others.

If using external email servers, the issue of backup machine for Campus Pipeline is less.
