Pat met with Rich Murphy to continue coordination of the Service Catalog and the Service Portfolio. We reviewed the following:

• status of the Service Catalog RFP: still in Q&A with vendors, final award TBD
• feedback from senior staff on Service Catalog/web site current taxonomy: limited feedback received and incorporated
• Portfolio definitions: category, Service and solution
• draft Portfolio entry as illustration of taxonomy and definitions referenced above
  • Service Catalog would like to consume information from Portfolio:
    • create view (flag) customer facing Services and solutions in Portfolio OR
    • run query for same
• Portfolio technology options based on requirements document
  • drupal as most desirable option to implement the Portfolio?
    • Web Services would not be able to build this with current resources
      • looking at about 6 month window before this work could start
      • do we need architect to help with workflow?
      • if we build it prior to Web Services offering, then we would be responsible for ongoing maintenance and support
    • DCAD may be possibility
      • would need to explore with Jeff if he has expertise to build and maintain
  • what about SharePoint as an option?
    • we know this is on the horizon, but no resources currently available
    • new technology for IS&T
    • unclear as to what the support model would be
  • what about an Oracle database with a front end (form)?
    • Web Services could build in 3-4 months
    • would also need DM resource to create physical data model

This will be provided, in addition to the requirements documentation, to Marilyn as an update on 2/25.  This will also be reviewed by the Releaseball Core at t he next team meeting on 3/3/11, and at the Sponsor meeting on 3/7/11.
