The Higher Education Commission (HEC) and Microsoft have collaborated to create an online portal "National Event Management System (NEMS)", developed by Xelleration Pakistan for academic activities of higher education institutions.
The purpose-built and enriched online portal will enable HEC to effectively manage over 3000 events, organized by universities and HEC under a countrywide Education-Alliance between Microsoft and HEC.
Based on Microsoft Office 365 (Share Point Online), this portal will also facilitate and inform the potential participants and attendees about the events as scheduled and published.
A launching ceremony was held at HEC Secretariat, Islamabad in which the National Event Management System was inaugurated by Dr Mukhtar Ahmed, Chairman HEC with the launch of portal available at http://pern-public.sharepoint.com. Harb Bou-Harb, Public Sector Director of Microsoft- NEPA region was also present on the occasion. The event was also attended by Dr Mansoor Akbar Kundi, Executive Director, HEC, Anwar Amjad, Director General (IT) HEC, Abid Zaidi, Country Enterprise and Partner Group Director Microsoft Pakistan and Jibran Jamshad, Enterprise Technology Strategist, Microsoft Pakistan.
The pioneering facility will be offered to more than 157 universities and campuses, facilitating over one million students, faculty members and staff across the country. HEC being facilitator of the higher education sector will now be able to closely view and strategize education planning based on the audience feedback extracted from this portal. The portal offers user registration, attendance, and self-service scheduling of various activities for diversified events and also solves the problems highlighted in the feedback received from the participants.-PR
