GIS Project/WorkOrder Initiation
GIS strives to deliver easy to use, business and technology solutions to enable StorageTek's success. We have developed the Project and WorkOrder Initiation processes to ensure we are efficiently and effectively using our resources. These processes allow us to focus our attention on work which supports the corporate strategic goals and has been approved and prioritized by our business partners.
How do I know if I have a Project Request or a WorkOrder?
If your request will require $20K or more of IT spending (including expenditures for IT consulting fees, services, hardware, software, development, etc.) or more than 200 hours to complete the work, contact your area's Business Development Manager to jointly develop the Project Request and Business Case documents.
Business Case - Document completed by a business requestor, sponsor, area controller and business development manager to request a project.
CCB - Change Control Boards are groups of business representatives who meet on a regular basis to review and prioritize WorkOrders for their business area. CCBs are coordinated through the Remedy Queues & CCB Coordinators.
GIS - Global Information Systems: StorageTek's IT organization.
GIS PST - The Prioritization Steering Team's charter is to provide an executive forum to discuss, review, recommend, approve and oversee improvement projects requiring cross-functional resources and ensure alignment with StorageTek strategic goals.
