Impact

Priority and Funding

The overall costs and financial benefits for this procurement project are noted below:

*Total costs includes user days which will be funded from BAU budgets, days are costed at ISG day rate which is £320/day for all university resources. If project continues into 2018/19 academic year, costs are £350/day.

** All project days except DT days for API development.

NB Core project work due to complete within 2017/18 academic year. Although project closure not until 2018/19, only work in that academic year is post-live support, which should be minimal.

Impact and Dependencies

Assumptions

The following project assumptions apply:

• The required Business Analysis and developer resources are available to work on the development of the gap analysis, build and testing from 16^th April 2018.

Dependencies

This project has dependencies on:

• DTI026 - API Gateway and API Management Tool (https://www.projects.ed.ac.uk/project/dti026); and
• DTI028 - Maturing the API Infrastructure (https://www.projects.ed.ac.uk/project/dti028)

Although this project is putting in place its own API authentication and infrastructure, it needs to have regular reviews of DTI026 and DTI028 in case it would be better to switch to authentication model and/or infrastructure design as outputs from those projects.
