A Global University based in Academic City, Dubai, Adopted Campus Dynamix for University across its 6 Campuses across the Globe in just 4 days!
Our client, a global name in higher education with presence in educational hubs across the world, wanted to replace their existing student lifecycle management system. The SAP software though replete with features was low on usability and could not be customized for the evolving needs of the International University. Replacing it was the only way forward for the University with six international campuses and looks forward to providing world-class campus experience to its students.
The client’s existing student lifecycle management system posed many problems. Lack of complete automation called for a huge amount of manual effort degrading the user experience and introducing errors, manifold.
In the absence of automation, the software could not adapt to the changing needs of the University which, being in its growth mode, had dynamic needs to deal with. Needless to say that, using the platform became a time-consuming activity.
Personnel training for using the software was another area the University was spending considerable time in. This led to loss of precious operational hours in repetitive training activity.
Apart from these, the SAP software gave minimal reporting options which further limited its usability.
Over a period of time, the limitations of the software gave way to mismatch of data, erroneous entries leading to payment failures, and many unresolved issues that adversely impacted financial income booking and audit.
The client’s initial expectations from a student lifecycle management were to have a robust and well-integrated software that would be
- Highly usable
- Require minimal training
- Scalable and customizable
- Low-cost; and
- Be accessible from all locations and devices
Using Unikul’s Student Lifecycle Management Software – Campus Dynamix(Campus Dynamix), the client was not only able to resolve the existing problems but also find automate almost all the student related activities on campus.
As a result of adoption of Campus Dynamix, the Global University is now able to:
- Map and configure diverse requirements with multiple entities and partners. The customizable feature of the SLCM solution allows the user to accommodate a host of different customer requests, and business rules can be configured at ease.
- Generate reports as per user requirements, in the required formats.
- An easy-to-read dashboard with all user-specific KPIs, visible at a glance to the user
- Optimization of time and resources
