Moodle & Totara Learning Management Systems Service Description G-Cloud 7 Introduction Founded in 2003 as a learning technology company providing solutions to the education sector, Webanywhere has diversified to support lifelong learning across the public, private and third sectors. Over 120 staff are employed across the operational bases in the UK, US and mainland Europe. The Service We provide hosting of both Moodle and Totara Learning Management Systems. Webanywhere, as one of the largest Moodle partners in Europe, has extensive experience customising and tailoring Moodle and Totara to customer requirements. As a base offering, hosting and support of Moodle/Totara is available, but on further discussion and bespoke quotation additional services such as consultancy, development, testing, training and strategic leadership are offered as detailed in the SFIA rate card. Buying and Delivery Process Webanywhere will provide a quotation upon request for the services that you require. You may wish to have preliminary conversations with our sales and consultancy teams prior to quotation in order to clarify any questions you may have and understand exactly which services you require. Pricing is based on the following factors which should be provided to help us build the correct price for you: Do you require Moodle or Totara (we can help you make this decision if required) Total number of users Maximum number of concurrent users (users accessing the system at any one time) Do you require data migrating from a previous LMS (course content, records of course completion), and if so what is the quantity of data? Do you have any bespoke requirements that are not covered by the base Moodle/Totara system (again, we can help clarify this with you)
The steps following the decision to buy are as follows: 1. Clarify, document and agree project approach and requirements 2. Build staging (test) and production (live) hosted systems. The staging system will always be available for testing functionality separately to the main live system 3. Implement any custom functionality as determined during purchasing stage 4. Implement a custom theme, giving the system a look-and-feel consistent with the customer s brand and imagery. This is provided as standard and includes up to 2 iterations of the design with our art team. 5. Undertake user acceptance testing with the customer on the staging system 6. Agree go-live once staging setup is validated and migrate to live environment. Typically for smaller projects this will take 3-4 weeks. Service Integrity The service is hosted by Rackspace UK, a G-Cloud provider in their own right, whose security certifications can be seen at http://www.rackspace.co.uk/security-reliability All Rackspace costs are included in the price of the Webanywhere service. The customer will have no direct contact with Rackspace. All systems are backed-up daily to a location physically separate to the Rackspace system. All systems are monitored 24/7 by the Webanywhere network operations team located in Leeds, UK in addition to infrastructure monitoring and remediation by Rackspace UK Communication between the user and the system will be encrypted using HTTPS (SSL). By default this uses a certificate signed by Webanywhere Ltd, but the customer s own certificate can be used if provided to provide the system on the customer s domain name. Offboarding In the event that you no longer wish to continue service with Webanywhere, please provide 1 month s written notice including what data you would like to be transferred back to you. In the event of the data being of large quantity (>5GB) then additional costs for data transfer may apply.
