Pilot Shared Service Vision» Researchers shouldn’t need to think (too much!)

about Research Data Management» "Visible data, invisible infrastructure"• Provide researchers intuitive, easy functionality to

publish, archive and preserve their research outputs. • Provide interoperable systems to allow researchers and

institutions to fulfil and go beyond policy requirements and adhere to best practice throughout the RDM lifecycle

What we need» Modules that seamlessly integrate with each other

Process overview

Project Phases and Activity

» Pre-development Phase (Dec 2016-Dec 2017)» Alpha Development (June 2016 – June 2017)» Beta Development (June 2016 – April 2018)» Business Case Planning (July 2017 – Dec 2017)

» RAID (Risks, Actions, Issues, Dependencies) and full schedule by end of March

» Project will be managed with an Agile methodology, meaning we will release shippable products and releases on a regular basis.

Project Phases and Activity

» Pre-development Phase (Dec 2015 – Dec 2016)– Jisc: procurement, planning, contracting, technical architecture– Pilot decisions around products– Pilots provide information to Jisc and Consultants about (and the

right people to talk to!):– Requirements in relation to specific products– Institutional priorities and use cases– Storage requirements– Metadata requirements– Current system information to enable integration– Data Asset Framework and Preservation Audit– RDM Business case and costing – Teams and researchers to work with for first data ingest

Pre-development - Procurement

» Suppliers have been shortlisted from Pre-Qualification Questionnaire to respond to Operational Requirements

» Selection of framework suppliers by 12th April» Framework can be communicated to pilots on 22nd
