SFU supports around 35,000 students (including part time students) on 3 campuses, offers approximately 5,900 courses and 3000 additional meetings/events every year to meet academic and various activity needs. To better serve the room allocation needs for classes and events, and prepare for a transition to course scheduling based on student demand, SFU is seeking an academic and event scheduling software solution to replace its existing system.
A fully integrated solution that provides both space/room management and demand based scheduling capabilities is preferred but SFU is also open to exploring options that can meet our core requirements. SFU expects that the new solution (on premises or hosted) will provide capabilities to support current requirements, and demand based scheduling via its own add-on or integration of other vendor’s module(s).
The chosen proponent shall provide and facilitate the installation, configuration, and implementation of the new solution including:
a) Planning, analysis and design;
b) installation and testing;
c) deployment and data migration;
d) training;
e) end user and technical documentation including fully documented API and data mapping;
f) project management;
g) post-implementation support (stabilization, software maintenance and/or support); and
h) documented business process that are supported by the implemented software application and related technology with minimal software customizations.
