OCS Project Management is a hardware inventory system, currently being used successfully by CAHSS to maintain accurate records of hardware and monitor end-of-life models. ISG does not offer a wider service for this. Before the CSCE project starts, the OCS server upgrade has to be completed. The Grouper project will be a cross-college project. A project proposal was drafted by Colin Higgs but will require to be transferred onto the IS Applications project initiation document in order for the project to be approved to start. The project will delegate the definition of groups to college and school staff, whilst Grouper will continue to be supported as a service by IS Applications. Other project proposals will be discussed with a view to either initiating further projects or keeping projects in the pipeline, for example a proposal to implement accessibility enhancements to the STACK application.

The start of year budget for the CSE portfolio/programme for 2019/20 is set at 165 days from core allocation; this breaks down as 15 days for programme/portfolio management and 150 days for the college ring fence allocation. An additional 10 days each from the other two College portfolios for a contribution to the Grouper project increases the current programme budget to 185 days.
