At present, the ZKI does not yet have an overview of which software solutions are used how frequently at the member institutions. The aim of this survey is therefore to gain a better picture of the solutions in use and to create a helpful means of comparison for many institutions by querying particularly central systems.
The survey was answered by 89 universities. Up to 83 responses were given for the individual categories of software solutions. Participation in the survey was possible from 20.4.2021 to 21.5.2021.
The survey asked about the following categories:
Backup Software
Campus Management Systems - CaMS
Content Management Systems - CMS
Chat / Instant Messaging Solutions - IM
Document Management Systems - DMS
Research Information System - FIS
Calendar
Learning Management Systems - LMS
Private Cloud / VM Management
Project Management Software
Resource Management Systems
Sync-n-Share solutions
Ticket / Incident Management Systems
Video management systems
Video conferencing solutions
Knowledge Management Solutions
For each category, the following questions were asked:
Which solution do you use?
Is the system commercial, open source, homegrown, or hybrid?
How do you operate the system? Internally, externally or mixed?
How satisfied are you with the solution? (Scale from 1 - very dissatisfied to 10 - very satisfied)
What comments do you have?
In addition, the survey asked about type of institution of higher education, state, and number of students at the institution.
