The project is set for completion in mid-2014 and encompasses consultancy and software development services worth a total of EUR 2.3 million. The new web portal being realised by adesso is set to be an information and communication platform operational throughout the University of Vienna, providing both students and academic staff with user-friendly centralised access to all online services related to academic courses. The solution will replace the existing IT system which no longer caters for the full range of modern-day technical possibilities. A survey on the existing system carried out by the university revealed potential for improvement with regard to user-friendliness and interaction between students, academic staff and the university's administrative department. The portal forms part of the university's target to increase quality in administrative student services and in the organisation and realisation of courses and teaching. It will also serve as a basis to simplify system maintenance, and improve the university's public image. The project participants are working closely with the university's department for Educational Affairs and Computer Services, its IT department, as well as representatives of all user groups. Among the key emphases of this work is the sharing of expertise in fields such as agile software development, which will empower the university to operate the software independently and develop it further according to its needs. With a student body of approximately 91,000 and around 9,400 employees, 6,700 of whom are academic staff, the University of Vienna is one of Europe's largest higher education institutions. The commission of this project will increase adesso's presence on the Austrian market. Success in the public tender process is also further proof of adesso Austria GmbH's successful development. The company expects to make a significant profit in 2012 after a significant increase in turnover.
