Dear All,
>
>Here at Glasgow University we are looking at improving the way in which we
>handle the student record. We have just completed a process of identifying
>how we shall improve the Student Record system and now want to identify the
>best software/hardware solution. We want to enhance our current database by
>the greater use of application-based functionality so that the location of
>the data becomes immaterial to the user. We plan to do this by a mix of web
>interfaces, non-web GUI and batch processes(such as events in the system
>automatically generating mail to those concerned). We are currently drawing
>up a list of companies that we may wish to speak to on this matter, but
>wondered if any other University had undertaken any similar initiative.
>
>IT would be helpful to hear from any University that has been through this
>process and has either bought system software from a company or has decided
>to undertake the software development internally.
>
>Our aim would be to either approach the company to establish suitability and
>cost of software or to obtain an estimate from your University of the cost
>of the internal development of your own student record software.

>Kind Regards
