Join us for an insightful discussion on the evaluation of cloud collaboration solutions. This session will cover our rationale for exploring new offerings, how cloud services have evolved since our last implementation of Zimbra, and what our peers are doing in this space. We will discuss our internal discovery project, including participation in an RFP with other universities, challenges, and opportunities. Attendees will learn how to participate in our evaluation process and what benefits and trade-offs we are considering. Your input is valuable as we aim for recommendations by March 2011!

Cloud Collaboration Discovery Project January 20, 2011 TIPS Introduction
Agenda • Why are we looking into this? • What is the approach? • What are we looking at? • How can you participate?
Rationale for Current Evaluation • Cloud offerings have matured since we evaluated and implemented Zimbra • Peer institutions are considering or have already implemented cloud-based solutions • Some units within Stanford considering cloud offerings • The campus community demands integrated collaboration capabilities and continuous innovation • There are potential savings opportunities • Users frequently request higher quota
Status of Internal Discovery Project • Participating in RFP with other universities to explore offerings from various vendors • Advisory groups formed and meeting regularly • Leveraging findings from other institutions • Collaborating with groups across campus via communication and outreach activities • Evaluating costs, benefits, trade-offs • Investigating legal, security, privacy implications • Understanding differences between Students, Faculty, Staff • Set up and test pilot instance of one or two cloud solutions • Goal: Recommendation and next steps by March 2011
