OBJECTIVE

The Kuali Commercial Affiliates provides an ecosystem of services for delivering Kuali administrative systems. While Kuali Foundation delivers open source systems, it does not provide planning, implementation, hosting, and support services. These services can be provided by vendors, who can build a business model around some or all of these types of services. There is value to Kuali, its adopters and KCA's in having these services available from KCAs for a fee.

MEMBERSHIP

To become a Kuali Commercial Affiliate, the vendor must become a member of the Kuali Community and pay annual dues. Additional investments to individual projects or resources are up to the KCA.

BENEFITS

The benefits of becoming a Kuali Commercial Affiliate are:

  • Recognition by the Kuali Foundation, Members and Partners.
  • Vendor Visibility in Presentations, Sponsorships, Kuali Days Activities.
  • Access to the Kuali Community and staying in touch with member institutions.
  • Notice about opportunities to provide services to the community. For example, as Kuali aggregates services and sources them, KCAs will have opportunity to be a selected provider.
  • Overall credibility with the Community and Member confidence.
  • Sustaining Kuali Members!  Without members Kuali cannot exist and continue to deliver systems.
