Revisiting fundamentals, introducing any form of change to an institution is only possible if the benefits are multifold at a cost fractional to it. Aiming to bring a change into the education sector, Techlogix, a globally leading Consulting and IT Services Company and an Oracle Platinum Partner, moderated a deployment of Techlogix Enterprise Campus Solutions across 9 universities of Pakistan previously. Taking the technology across ASEAN, De La Salle University from Philippines has recently jumped board for a replacement of its homegrown system with the same with a Project Kick Off Ceremony on the 27th of April, 2011.
Expanding its outreach in the ASEAN region, Techlogix has carried out similar sign-offs with leading universities in Malaysia, Singapore, Vietnam and Thailand as well. Present at the DLSU Enterprise Campus Solution Project Kick Off were Rizwan Rashid, Vice President for Professional Services at Techlogix, Darren Rushworth, Managing Director at Oracle Philippines and Vice President at Oracle Asia Pacific, Narciso Erguiza FSC, President of DLSU, Edler Panlilio, Sales Country Manager at Oracle Philippines, and Abigail Yap-Ang, Chief Executive Officer at ABS.
Key modules to be deployed as part of Techlogix Enterprise Campus Solutions at the DLSU include PeopleSoft Enterprise Student Administration, PeopleSoft Enterprise Campus Self Service, PeopleSoft Enterprise Contributor Relations and PeopleSoft Enterprise Campus Solutions Warehouse. Making mundane tasks interactive, collaborative for the faculty and the management, PeopleSoft Enterprise Campus Solutions will centralize the entire Student Information System, provide a calendar view of a faculty’s teaching schedule, enable one-click email to a select group of students, and help review the students’ academic progress through degree audit. For the student, PeopleSoft Enterprise Campus Solutions will avail access to and track application status, view class and exam schedules, request record of transcripts, courses, and make online credit payments amongst other facilities.
Involving 15,000 students and over 1,000 faculty and staff members, the project is expected to complete in 12 months.
As Salman Akhtar, CEO at Techlogix observes, “DLSU has engaged Techlogix to enable it to achieve a flexible system that can quickly adapt to the changing requirements of higher education, and we look forward to delivering on it as we have done previously with various other academic institutions.”
