Universities in Adelaide and Perth have gone live with the deployment of Technology One’s new generation student management solution.
Curtin University of Technology in Perth and
Adelaide’s Flinders University have started using Technology One’s CI
version of its student management system just ahead of the mid-year
enrolments of more than 50,000 students at the two universities.
Technology One’s executive chairman, Adrian Di Marco, said today more
universities would complete their migration in the next few weeks,
which he claimed would cut down the enrolment process for thousands of
students and staff by “massively simplifying the online system.”
According to Di Marco, competition is fiercer than ever in the tertiary
education sector, which he says is actually experiencing an upswing in
the current climate due to workers “suffering redundancy or shortened
hours returning to education to bolster their resumes, or students
deciding to forgo the expensive gap year in favour of earlier
university entrance.”
Di Marco says TechnologyOne has been working with its customers to fine
tune its solution over the last few months and he claimed “all the
other vendors offering student management solutions are using
technology which is more than ten years old.”
“TechnologyOne is the first vendor to successfully migrate customers to
a new generation platform for an integrated enterprise solution No
other vendor servicing any sector has delivered on their promise to
provide a new generation, integrated enterprise solution.
