Lahore University of Management Sciences (LUMS) "the University") signed an agreement with Oracle partner, Techlogix to implement Oracle's PeopleSoft Campus solution and PeopleSoft Enterprise Human Capital Management solution at its campus in Lahore here on Saturday.
Earlier this year, a similar agreement was signed with the Higher Education Commission, Government of Pakistan, for the implementation of Oracle's PeopleSoft Campus solutions at various public sector universities.
Oracle's PeopleSoft Campus solution is the world's only complete higher education solution it is being used at over 800 campuses in more than 20 countries to streamline processes, enhance efficiency and boost productivity in a cost-effective manner.
This solution will also offer the University the most advanced Student Information System available - providing a complete solution to manage all aspects of a student's life at the University - today and in the future.
Dr Syed Zahoor Hassan, Vice Chancellor, Lahore University of Management Sciences, said,"As an institution that aspires towards excellence in both teaching and research, our university uses state-of-the-art technologies to create an environment in which its systems, constituents and communities can interact for learning, teaching, and administration."
Leading the development of a knowledge-based economy in Pakistan, the University's deployment of Oracle's PeopleSoft Campus solutions and PeopleSoft Enterprise Human Capital Management will help the University maintain its competitive edge. With the implementation of Oracle's PeopleSoft Campus Solutions, the University can better manage the student lifecycle, regulate compliance and reporting and achieve operational effectiveness. Increasingly, institutions in Pakistan are expanding their investments in recruitment activities while operating on shrinking budgets.
To manage the entire student lifecycle seamlessly from recruiting to admissions, through student services and alumni relations in a secure and stable environment, the University can gain a 360-degree view of all students, staff, alumni and other constituents including donors, thus fostering personalised communications, increased collaboration and intimacy of interaction.
As a result, the University can improve student recruiting results; its students and faculty get 24/7, secure access to information and services; and individual students enjoy higher academic success with systems that measure and analyse their performance.
Ms Samina Rizwan, Senior Country Director for Oracle SAGE West, said, "It is a new and challenging era for education. Higher education institutions face increased global competition to attract and retain students. Oracle offers the right applications that deliver the most comprehensive, adaptable solutions to meet the needs of small institutions as well as large, multi-location school districts and university systems."
In 2006, Oracle contributed more than $2 billion to education worldwide, through its various education initiatives. The reliability of its education-centric applications is reinforced by the fact that all of the world's top 10 academic universities as well as the top 10 research universities run Oracle applications.
