Customer Profile

The University of Windsor (UOW), Canada has 15,000 students enrolling each semester. The university also has a faculty 300 plus that is expected to reach 500 in the near future.

Challenge

UOW’s professors and research scholars needed to prepare custom-made curriculum vitae for participation in events and seminars.

In the past, when CVs were required they were either created manually or by using software programs such as Microsoft Word. The process took at least three hours and was rife with errors.

Once a CV was generated using Word, it was saved in the central CV Repository. For staff to then edit, modify or delete their CV files was a very tedious process. The CV Repository also needed to be updated on a regular basis.

UOW wanted to cut the time taken for CV generation and also wanted to eliminate the manual CV processes, which often caused inaccuracies.

Solution
