To achieve this aim, our users must be able to collaborate, communicate, store and share data more effectively internally and externally. Therefore an EFSS solution is sought with the following characteristics:
1)
Easy to use and secure (including support for features such as index/search, flexible device/OS/file-type support, and allowing users to grant access to appropriate external collaborators).
2)
Well-integrated and easy to administer (integrated with our identity management systems and allowing single sign-on and automated provisioning/de-provisioning of access via Active Directory or SHIBBOLETH).
3)
Scalable (in terms of number of users, amount of storage per user, performance, and the ability to accommodate a high number of account provisioning/de-provisioning actions at the start and end of each academic year).
4)
Supported by a legal contract to protect the rights of the University and users.
5)
The system must be in place and fully operation within a maximum period of 3 months of award of contract, and must operate with a minimum period of two years with an option to extend on a rolling 12 month basis.
6)
There must be a clear exit strategy, which allows the University to orderly and safely extract and/or migrate all required data at the end of the arrangement.
It is anticipated that the use of the EFSS solution must be able to scale to support at least 7 500 initial internal users across our three main campuses but may also be widened in scope to provide a service to our entire 50 000 staff and student user base so much be able to scale to meet this requirement.
