ChallengesChallenges
• 3TU. is a collaboration between partners who are also fierce competitors
• Individual branding remains very important
• In IT more enthusiasm than in education: growing gap
• Clash of the titans: architects versus project managers
• No experience with services

More challengesMore challenges
• No real enterprise architects in 3TU.
• No power to enforce process design or standards
• Limited authority for architects• Demarcation line between 3TU.
and local infrastructure• Facility sharing??
(do we trust each other?)
