The challenge
Provide faculty and staff with an easy way to publish a website for their events under the university’s branding with online payment, event program, and mobile applications.
Approach
- Immediate use: With Grenadine Enterprise Edition, when a department or a faculty want to organize events, the university can create new Grenadine environments on the fly. Teachers and staff can create new event websites in minutes.
- University ready: Each new event website is automatically hosted under the uqam.ca domain with the university branding and accepts registration payments using the university email servers and payment gateways.
- Easy but Powerful: A university organizes a wide variety of events. Grenadine adapts to the needs of each event, ranging from a simple ticketing system to a powerful tool for the complete management of an international congress.
Products Used

- Grenadine Event Manager

Results
- 500% productivity gain: Before Grenadine, it could take 2 to 3 days to create a new event website that could host a complete ticketing system linked to their payment system with an online schedule and the ability to manage registrations. Today, UQAM uses Grenadine Event Software and helps its professors in the management of their events by allowing them to create their own event website in just a few hours.
- Easy to use for those less tech savvy: Grenadine offers UQAM an easy-to-use interface with the logic of starting from an already existing event and by pre-integrating several features; which facilitates the work of designing an event website for its less tech savvy teachers and employees.
- Numbers speak louder than words: Throughout their 119 instances and 668 events, UQAM has been able to produce 53 surveys, send 565 mass emails, sell 57 857 tickets and gather 75 961 people (attendees, speakers, staff and representatives) attached to 649 organizations.
