William Brown (Enterprise Applications), a developer on the UTS Business Systems team, recently lead the successful technical migration for disconnecting the Emory Music Department’s eAudition Ensemble Scheduling System from the old R25 Event Scheduling database to a standalone system.

eAudition allows student musicians to schedule auditions for various ensembles, including the Atlanta Youth Wind Symphony, the Emory Youth Symphony Orchestra, Emory Symphony Strings, Emory Winds and Percussion, and Emory Jazz. The application also supports the recruitment of new students.

An interesting aspect of eAudition is the active period – only available from July through September of each year. Beyond the student applicants, around five to seven Emory staff members use the system.
