Description

The University of Edinburgh wishes to implement a new, cloud based timetabling SAAS for both teaching and exams.

Total Quantity or Scope

The University wishes to implement a new, cloud based timetabling SAAS for both teaching and exams. The current solution which was procured in 2011 is nearing end of life. Timetabling systems are critical to the central timetabling and exams service, to enable multiple services for resource booking, as well as scheduling and publication of student timetables for the 35,000 taught students (UG & PGT). The project will ensure business service continuity for Students and Staff. It will provide scalability in number and variety of teaching activities and number of room bookings across the University. The project will also make it easier to support more flexible timetabling requirements stemming from Curriculum Transformation.
