The overall requirement of the project is for a post production shared storage and digital workflow solution. BU needs an editing solution that is not dependent on the provision of expensive physical space on campus but will allow students to work in non-specific campus environments and pop-up spaces. The tender seeks a system integrator partner to project manage and supply a replacement solution for its current AVID Isis media asset storage and management system to provide increased file storage capacity which will allow students better access to their assets for editing by providing a mechanism for them to edit remotely thus reducing the dependency on the existing edit suites.

The overall requirement of the project is for a post production shared storage and digital workflow solution. BU needs an editing solution that is not dependent on the provision of expensive physical space on campus but will allow students to work in non-specific campus environments and pop-up spaces. In meeting this challenge BU needs to acknowledge that resources and subject-specific space are at a premium and any solution must be flexible and adaptable to the higher education environment. Therefore the project needs to seek a cost-effective solution that does not compromise the learning, benefits the student experience, does not impact significantly on space provision on campus and responds to a need that has been evidenced in faculty strategic plans.
