But don’t just take our work for it. The following is an extract from Chris Sexton’s EUNIS 2011 blog:

Zero to Live in Four Weeks: Interesting presentation yesterday from Campus IT, called from Zero to Live in 4 weeks. They developed a pilot postgraduate application system for the Dublin Institute of Technology, with a very tight time frame for implementation of less than 6 weeks.

The original process consisted of a downloadable form, which was printed, filled in, posted with attachments. No validation, lots of missing information. Long slow process, and during it applicants were lost. 5 staff working on it. Needed quicker system, more user friendly and tailored, collecting better data.

The IT department had no spare resources, and coupled with the tight deadline, so went for hosted system, which is in the Amazon cloud. The system was developed quickly, and a prototype produced in weeks, which was tested on academics, who had to apply for own course, then deal with application, and reject it. This produced a list of change requests. Because the system is configurable by business users, not developers, the 5 staff in admissions office made changes in a few days.

System ready in 4 weeks. End users continuously improving it, changing questions, messages, workflows etc. Put onto web in 6 hours, on every course screen. Not integrated with student system, but could be future development.

Good example of rapid development and deployment, and interesting that it’s hosted in a public cloud.
