ITS Update, January 2018
Information Technology Services continues to drive cost savings through consolidating technology infrastructure and systems as well as managing staff alignment and attrition.
The SAP system, which runs Firefly, received a significant upgrade. Running on mainframe hardware since 1997, the system was migrated to SAP’s newer HANA technical environment. The move will save significant annual support and licensing costs, as well as providing faster, more reliable performance.
ITS also recently consolidated Omaha and Lincoln virtual server installations into a single datacenter environment to leverage consolidated infrastructure and improved security.
IT staff from UNL Shared Services and UNO Business and Finance were transitioned into ITS beginning this month to maximize best practices, IT security, and economies of scale in serving critical administrative technology needs.

We anticipate approximately $6 million in cost savings through the following strategies developed by the Information Technology Services BRT team. These strategies have been approved by the President and Chancellors. For more detailed information, see the document below.
