Achievements in Last Period

• Additional work has been done with SCOM on the linux stack for Learn.
• Feedback on SquaredUp sample dashboards consolidated for review by project team and wider group.
• The wider project group met on 28/06/16 to review the additional work agreed at the 15/04/16 meeting.
• It was agreed that SCOM (with 3rd party tools to improve the out of the box functionality) provided useful information however there was consensus that it could not function as the "single pane of glass" which had been hoped for (see issues below).

Issues

The wider group met 28/06/16 to review the work agreed 25/04/16 and after much discussion reached consensus that:

• SCOM could not be used without 3rd party tools to deal with limitations
• SCOM (even with 3rd party tools) does not provide sufficient functionality to meet the needs across IS
• Recommendation will be to not proceed further with SCOM; report will provide rationale from the wider group of Apps and ITI staff and will be completed in July. It is possible the actual closure may be pushed into August but this would only be expected to require 0.5d or less.

Next Steps

• Complete recommendations report.
• Close Project

The project current status is AMBER due to staff availability to complete the recommendations report.
