About this file
This is a Service Requirements Matrix created by Forrester Research for CalSTRS that outlines detailed requirements across 12 service categories: Application Services, Asset Management Services, Business Continuity Services, Consulting Services, End User Computing Services, Enterprise Architecture Services, Governance Services, Information Management Services, Infrastructure Hosting Services, Operational Services, Security Services, and SAP Basis Services. The matrix is structured to allow vendors to indicate whether each service is included in fixed costs (F), variable costs (V), or not included (NI) in their scope, while CalSTRS has designated services as mandatory (M), desired (D), or not required (N).
The matrix covers comprehensive IT service management requirements, with particular emphasis on SAP modules including ECC, EP, SRM, and Business Objects functionality for projects like P&I and CARM. Key mandatory services include application development, database management, business continuity, enterprise architecture, monitoring services, and SAP basis administration. Notable exclusions handled by CalSTRS include acceptance testing, batch job scheduling, ID management, and certain security audit functions. The matrix provides granular detail for each service category, with specific activities and definitions to ensure clear understanding of requirements.
