Overview
Background
The School of Biological Sciences are stakeholders in a pilot in CAHSS of a Workload Allocation Model (WAM) system provided by Simitive.
They also want to pilot the use of the system as soon as possible to alleviate issues they are having with the current system administration of using various spreadsheets
This small project will look at the options for adopting the service including a short term tactical and longer term strategic model.
After delivery of the business case it was agreed that IS Applications Project services would assist the Deanery of Biological sciences in preparing an implementation plan so that when result of the CAHSS pilot is known the implementation can start as soon as possible
Scope
- Use lessons learned form CAHSS pilot to date
- Use CAHSS pilot system supplier Higher Education market experience to provide assurance of the viability of the options
- Pilot system supplier to include indicative costs
- Outcome of the CAHSS pilot
- Assistance with delivery of an implementation plan
Not in Scope
- Integration with University of Edinburgh IT infrastructure
- Use of IS Apps technical resources
- Procurement review
Objectives
Provide options and recommendations to MVM stakeholders to allow them to choose a WAM system operating model
Provide an agreed implementation plan for sign-off by project sponsor and SMVM
Deliverables
Produce a business case detailing the options available to the University and making recommendations
Produce an implementation plan including costs and Deanery resource requirements
Benefits
