Roombug Gains Ground

Two universities will use it next semester

Earlier this fall, we announced our exclusive partnership with RoomBug, a unique and innovative roommate matching application built for use in Facebook. We’re extremely happy to report that the adoption of RoomBug within our user community has started to grow and thrive. We currently have two RMS customers with plans to actively use RoomBug in the coming semester. The first is Wichita State

Wichita State University

Temple University

University. Wichita State served as our alpha test site and was the first RMS client to begin working with the system. Vanessa Rodriguez is the Director of Housing and Residence Life and has been directly involved in all stages of the setup, configuration, and testing of RoomBug. She has noted, “Working with Roombug has been exciting for our staff and students. We will be launching the program for use with both our returning and new students in late February for the upcoming 2010-11 academic year. The integration of Roombug, Facebook, and RMS has been awesome and virtually seamless. The Roombug staff has been easy to work with and extremely attentive to our needs. We look forward to fully implementing this application and studying the results of its effectiveness on roommate pairings this fall.”

The other school currently going through implementation and setup of RoomBug is Temple University. They have done a tremendous job of preparation and have widely publicized the introduction of RoomBug to their student body. They will begin setup and production use of the system this Spring. We anticipate great success from both of these long standing, RMS schools. We will continue to update the user community about the use of RoomBug and its impact on our universities and their students.
