I am trying to determine the best way to orgainze the It staff to manage MQ/MQSi. Would any of you be willing to share how you are organized ? My current thinking - central dev group to 'own & operate' the MQSi hub (including building of all message flows), distributed dev teams to build MQ 'spoke' adapter/connector programs, and an admin team to do monitoring and level problem diagnosis.

This approach does make sense but it really does depend on your organisation.

We run a truly global MQ/MQSI infrastructure where the hubs are defined centrally but managed and operated locally. MQSI message flows are created by local project teams in conjunction with local MQSI experts. A small central team will create "model" message flows which can then be customised by the local project teams. You really want to encourage reuse of message flows and concepts used within so having some central team managing a repository of sample message flows is a great idea.

How strictly must the local team follow the 'model' ? Can they decide to ignore it and do their own thing, or does the central team govern the local designs to ensure consistency and reuse ?

Again, it depends on you particular organisation and the authority which the central team is endowed with. Ideally you would like a central function in place which had the resource to be able to ensure adherence with the models but this is rare in many organisations.

Local deviations will occur and this acceptable provided there is a good reason for the deviation. If the model has flaws then the local team should communicate these to the central team for fixing.
