Close collaboration and engagement with our customers is at the heart of our Open Digital Campus vision and strategy, which is all about listening to what you need and finding the best way to answer that need.
Launched at SunGard Summit 2009 as a pilot program, the Community Source Initiative is a software development model driven by the wisdom of the people who use our solutions every day--our customers. Through this initiative, SunGard Higher Education customers collaborate with each other to enhance our products and solutions. In the spirit of open-source communities elsewhere, customers can submit enhancements, add-on modules, and defect corrections for peer review. A customer-led board considers all submissions to ensure their functional and technical applicability to the community's goals and objectives and then makes recommendations for their potential inclusion into SunGard Higher Education's baseline products.
The Community Source Initiative harnesses the power of our user community to bring better solutions to market faster, ensure the quality of those solutions through structured review, and ease the burden of upgrading custom code as the enhancements you need become an established part of our baseline solutions.
