Many decisions on projects are being made that have architectural implications, but soliciting campus input may not be high on project implementor's priorities. We can provide a service by helping those project decision makers to develop some campus awareness of the impacts of the projects. We could partner with them to provide this campus level input and help clarify issues around single source entry. Paul described the SSE time line. The current calendar is to have the programming done by the end of the calendar year with roll out there after.

The SSE effort is focused on eliminating reentry of data and enhancing tracking capabilities. It currently has three teams working.
