This document describes the implementation guidelines for IT professionals working in universities. The aim is to enable scalability and transferability of the virtual interview assistant, allowing other HEI’s to adopt and utilize the tool for their institutions’ quality departments. The virtual assistant is a platform as a service (PaaS) designed to run on the cloud. The main advantages of such an approach are the cost savings over the on-premise alternative for universities and other HEI. In addition, a PaaS increases the accessibility and ease of deployment by shortening the development time required for installing and configuring both the hardware infrastructure and software components. The virtual assistant is therefore offered to any interested party as a service and is accessible immediately after the initial setup.
