Main Conference Client Case Study

ConnectionPoint – Connecting Processes, Technologies, Facilities, and Customers in a Progressive Service Network

The University of Saskatchewan developed a progressive solution for delivering multi-function shared services in a traditional higher education environment.  In this session, you will learn how the university designed and launched ConnectionPoint, a network-based service model that combines the best-of-both worlds.

When faced with space constraints coupled with customer desires to be geographically close to service provider(s), the university created a unique service delivery model that leverages a combination of small, campus-based “storefronts” with a larger, traditional transactional service center. This case study will include topics, such as:

  • Unique model for providing HR, Finance, and Research services across campus, including deployment of local strategic business advisors
  • Fresh approach to age-old space constraints
  • Configuring leading practice suite of technologies within existing application footprint
  • Utilizing a balanced staffing approach while maintaining commitment to university human capital

Speakers:

  • Wade Epp, Director, Service Design and Delivery at University of Saskatchewan
  • Courtney Jackson, Partner, ScottMadden, Inc.
  • Laura Campbell, Director, ScottMadden, Inc.
