Description

Replacing the University's current electronic point of sales system (EPOS), looking to implement a forward-looking, unified and flexible 'System to Sell'- a unified yet flexible solution that enables each commercial service to operate independently while benefiting from shared infrastructure, integrated data, and enhanced customer experience. It's our preference to ensure the system we procure now will be fit for purpose for the next 10 years.
