Supports software upgrades to network servers, operating systems, and applications. Actively resolves problems and issues with computer and server systems to limit work disruptions within the campus. Possess considerable logic and understanding to analyze and troubleshoot problems. Documents existing systems and configurations and assesses effort required to transition to a new future state. Deep knowledge of the Windows operating system is required, with experience in Linux desired.• Multiple Stakeholders - Must be able to work across multiple campuses and effectively switch between different environments and teams.System administrator capabilities with 5 or more years of experience in the field or in a related area. Relies on experience and judgment to plan and accomplish goals. Independently, performs a variety of complicated tasks. A wide degree of creativity and latitude is expected.Unified Identity and Collaboration Pre-planning Campus Resource Supplementation PlanBackground• Fragmentation is a barrier to efficiency and resource sharing - Currently, all UW institutions manage digital identities separately, which provides for a poor user experience when students, faculty, and staff need to collaborate across institutions. These technical constraints limit UW’s ability to collaborate on both academic programs and administrative services and result in increased costs due to duplication of effort. • Current state of complexity is a challenge for consolidation planning - The existing digital identity systems at the institutional level are complex, non-standard, and opaque, which makes it extremely difficult to estimate the time, effort, and cost required to consolidate the infrastructure with a reasonable level of confidence. • Separating pre-planning and implementation to minimize risk - By conducting an exhaustive pre-planning project we will be able to deliver a well-informed scope, plan and budget that is achievable and realistic.• Leverage consultants to supplement campus staffing – Given the short-term duration of the work, the UW System will use the TAPFIN contract to hire 3 systems administrators that will be split across the campuses (each person will work with 4 campuses).o Systems Administrator - Performs any actions related to systems engineering or systems administration assigned by the campus. These tasks could be directly related to the discover activity or they could be backfilled duties for existing staff to free up the resources (0.25 per campus).NOTE: System administrator capabilities with 5 or more years of experience in the field or in a related area.
