Challenge	Radboud University Nijmegen, an international university with a wide range of courses, was facing challenges in gaining insight into and overview of all hardware components, applications, data, and processes. The university's Group Information Management Department found that information regarding the connection between applications and processes was fragmented, making it difficult to collect the correct information at the start of a project. The business side also required more overview of the work processes. A cohesive process from recruitment to registration and ultimately deregistration of students was needed. The university, therefore, looked for an ICT partner who could provide a product that allowed for better insight into and overview of the connection between IT systems and processes. Read More

Solution	In early 2014, Radboud University selected Software AG to supply its new solution for documenting and making architecture information available. The solution chosen was ARIS Connect. The Group Information Management Department of Radboud University started looking for a good implementation partner and found bQuind. Following the pilot phase, Radboud University moved to the actual implementation and realization of the Software AG solution. The Group Information Management Department, the ICT Service Center, and the Law Department worked together on this. A dynamic process resulted in a situation that may well look completely different again in three months’ time. Read More Log in to view content
