Course & Event Management

MVP (at 11/12/17)

A proposed MVP for Course Booking system was proposed to the Business Managers as the ability to record the course name and dates from and to. This was not approved

We are now prioritising the re-procurement of the HICOM CBMS system for a year until a user needs analysis can be done to allow us to run procurement for a HEE Course and Event Management system.


Description

A system to support the management and delivery of events and courses

Component: TIS-643

For manual input of leave see also Absence Management


Scope

OUT OF SCOPE for TIS - there is no current integration between CBMS and Intrepid v10.9, therefore it would be recommended to move development of a Course & Event Booking Module outside of MVP scope. This does not mean that an event management tool will not be developed (or integrated with TIS, as this is a prime candidate for a COTS implementation), just that it will not be done before the March deadline.

Options for the interim, to be coordinated by local offices and business managers:

  • Use a system already in place e.g. MaxBrite or EventBrite
  • Implement a new system e.g. Agora
  • Spreadsheet management


Alternatively, it would be possible to implement a similar solution as with Trainer Approvals


Background

Usage Information for CBMS is shown here; there are currently 6 local offices using the Course Booking and Management System.

Implications moving forward, are as follows:

  1. Those 6 local offices continue to use CBMS
  2. All local offices move across to use CBMS
  3. CBMS is discontinued and the local offices using CBMS move onto a 3rd party platform (as with other local offices)

Business Managers to advise local offices of the best pathway for an interim solution.


Current Usage Description

The HICOM system (CBMS) is used by the following local offices:

  • East of England - Liz Hope
  • Thames Valley - Ruth Crawley
  • East Midlands - Gerard O'Reilly
  • Wessex - Angela Blyth
  • North East - Judith Hunter
  • South West - Dee Holley

As at 5/9/17 all the above (except Dee Holley) have confirmed that there is no link between the HICOM V10 system and CBMS

Functionality provided by CBMS is as follows:

HICOM CBMS user guide (for delegates) 

NOTE: although functionality is described in the guide this is no guarantee that it works

HICOM CBMS user guide (for Admins)

1Of the users who use the CBMS tool, how are they sharing data with Intrepid? Manual keyingJoanne Watson (Unlicensed)
2What's the delegate registration process?

Any user can search for the site and register for the service online, it's also possible for the HEE Admins to create a user profile on the delegates behalf and send it across.

It's possible to view the events already input without logging in; however once logged in, the user can only see relevant events to their Programme
