The Robert Gordon University - Archiving Project

	The Robert Gordon University (RGU) is a dynamic modern University with an international reputation for providing high quality education from Undergraduate to PhD level. Situated in state-of-the-art-facilities in Aberdeen, Scotland's third largest city, a diverse and exciting range of degree programmes are offered in Business, Law, Engineering, Science, Computing, Art, Design, Architecture, Pharmacy and Health Sciences.
Archiving of data is usually considered to be the final stage of the business cycle within the CedAr e5 Financial System. An executive decision was taken at RGU to archive data that was no longer accessible from the front-end of the system. Based on this knowledge a Project was formed to implement an Archiving Strategy and the tender for this work was awarded to elexa Consultants.
After a review of the standard archiving processes within the current system, it was identified that a significant amount of customisation was required to meet the universities business requirements. One of the main objectives of the Project was to import the archived data into an existing Business Intelligence Toolset, Cognos Impromptu, to allow the data to be accessible for auditing and reporting purposes.
The clients verdict? Julieann Bruce - Archiving Strategy Project Manager said "The Project was successfully completed this summer with all objectives and deliverables met. Much of the success was owed to the expertise offered by elexa."
