| IBM relieves over-burdened university
|
A well-known university in the Southwestern U.S. turned to IBM for an ERP solution.
The university wanted to replace its old administrative operations system and add a Web-based interface. Their new ERP system would have to handle student administration, advancement, finance and payroll. The system would have to be more accurate and timely, to be able to respond quickly with offers of financial aid or scholarships to qualified students who might not attend the school otherwise.
After selecting the software they needed, IBM was brought in to install and configure the new system. The redesigned architecture is expected to eliminate many of their old systems' cumbersome processes, improving accuracy and speed—making it easier to respond more quickly to student and user requests.
