The University of Sunderland completed its process for procuring a new Student Administration System in May 2001. The selection was carried out under the auspices of a Project Team (Project "Plus 2"), which was set up to procure and implement a new Student Administration System, a Virtual Learning Environment and a Managed Learning Environment. This project lasts 3 years, beginning in September 2000. A principal element of the Project's philosophy was to be as inclusive as possible - drawing in as much of the University community of staff and students as possible. There were two main objectives for this philosophy - to ensure institutional 'buy-in' to the systems being procured and implemented; and to utilise as much of the University's significant expertise as possible to ensure sound and valid choices were made.
