  (e.g. AMS)
• ART has proven itself HRT, HRTPIE, PPT, EDH,
  BHT, CFU all use it
• ART tool of choice for LHC contract expenditure
  followup reporting

AS-IDS 2001 Review

• PPT
• Critical for ATLAS all subprojects use it
  activity doubled compared to 2000
• CMS milestones re-introduced. PPT used by
  Technical Coordination
• New navigator interface, list/detail/Gantt LHCC
  (Cashmore) plot
• Improvements file attachments, HTML search, new
  Event system UI
• aisMedia phase I (demo) and almost II (ready to
  replace TUOVI)

  followup
• Used within IDS for task tracking
• Technology situation
• Event system not yet ais-wide

AS-IDS 2001 Review - Conclusions

• Old applications stopped (EDH 2.1, ExcelHRT,
  wfm)
• ART investment proved itself
• Increasing interest in PPT especially towards the
  end of the year
• Some tasks not achieved now becoming critical
  (AVCL, BHTART)
• Maintenance Support load is rising
  dramatically. Approx 60 of groups resources on
  maintenance and this is rising
• Low volume, but high cost small documents
• Technology Transfer nice to do, but can we
  afford it ?

8
AS-IDS 2002

• Interesting year ahead.
• User requests currently known (70) far exceed
  resources currently available
• See spreadsheet for further details
• Estimated request cost/resource availability
• BHT 110 / 72
• HRT (ART) 50 / 96
• EDH 550 / 270
• PPT 122 / 96

15
AS-IDS 2002 Conclusions

• EDH expectations current overload, increasing
  demands.
• PPT criticality
• BHT / LHC financial reporting
• Need for an agreed and published tasklist for
  2002 of what we (AIS) will and will NOT do with
  appropriate communication to the Admin. Sector,
  CLA, GTPA etc. to minimise disappointment
• Despite high production overload we will not be
  able to satisfy many of our user requests ?
