At Kuali Days VII, rSmart announced several agreements for 2008 aimed at helping colleges and universities implement Kuali's open source enterprise solutions. Services provided by the company include planning, evaluation, prototyping, implementation, and adoption, as well as ongoing support once the systems are deployed.

Schools contracting with rSmart include Boston University, Georgetown University, Naval Postgraduate School, Research Foundation for CUNY, St. Lawrence University, and University of Connecticut. The company also announced implementations of Kuali Financial System (KFS) at Colorado State University, University of Arizona, San Joaquin Delta College, and University of Hawaii.

"We are gratified to be working with so many forward-looking institutions that are blazing new trails for the education industry and are contributing to Kuali's growth," says Chris Coppola, President of rSmart, in a prepared statement. "With several KFS implementations going live next year, we are indeed on the cusp of a significant milestone for open source enterprise applications in higher education."

According to rSmart, adoption of Kuali's open source solutions is expected to help universities reduce costs associated with administrative computing.
