Success Story: University of Waterloo
The Tides of Progress – Sailing into the Future, Overcoming Obstacles!
Room: Britannia/Belair
The University had last updated their Infosilem software back in 2018. As time progressed, relying on outdated versions (Timetabler V 10.1 & Enterprise 2018) became increasingly impractical. Additionally, the University lost our subject matter expert and the technical team that was involved with the last update. Change was imperative, particularly in bringing the software up to current versions. By utilizing a work break down structure, JIRA, an abundance of documentation, and Microsoft Teams chats/meetings, the team finally implemented an update and laid down a blueprint for more efficient future Infosilem updates. This presentation will guide you through how the University of Waterloo got into the state we found ourselves in, and more importantly how we overcame obstacles to lead to an improved scheduling system.

Success Story: Georgian College
Digital Innovation and the Scheduling Office
Room: Britannia/Belair
Georgian College has embarked on several Digital Innovation projects aimed at delivering an exceptional student experience.
What we didn’t realize was how many of these student experience projects would impact scheduling. A new Faculty Workload Information System, an overhaul to registration, a move to annual planning (and therefore annual scheduling) and new flexible teaching deliveries all impact what we’re doing in our scheduling office. In the midst of this all we are planning our move from Infosilem Suite (Timetabler/DCU) to Infosilem Academic.
We would love a chance to share our ‘future-state vision’, how we plan to get there, as well as what we’ve learned so far.
