Xavier University has selected Oracle’s PeopleSoft Enterprise Campus Solutions to transform the school’s IT processes whilst upgrading existing systems for student administration. PeopleSoft Enterprise Campus Solutions, the world’s leading student system and alumni development solution for higher education, will replace the Enrolment Information System (EIS) that the university has been using for managing students for several years.
As the university aims not only to manage the academic records, entry and reporting of student grades; the deployment of the PeopleSoft Enterprise Campus Solutions will also manage the key components of the student lifecycle from the earliest recruitment stage, admission, enrolment, student activities, graduation, and up to alumni relations in support of the University’s educational apostolate and the missions of teaching, research, social outreach and apostolic formation.
The student lifecycle management and information system will be beneficial to Xavier University as it supports the future of an online campus – it connects people, data, and systems across departments and campuses to improve service and reduce costs.
The system would manage the entire lifecycle seamlessly at all levels and campuses in a secure, stable environment to support the university’s academic mission and goals by streamlining productivity and optimizing resources. It would provide a self-service functionality for all campus users.
The student management and information system is an integrated system for managing all student related services and business operations. The web-based architecture will simplify the school’s maintenance and support future growth.
Xavier University has selected the following modules: PeopleSoft Enterprise Student Administration, PeopleSoft Enterprise Campus Community, PeopleSoft Recruiting and Admissions, PeopleSoft Enterprise Student Records, PeopleSoft Enterprise Academic Advisement, PeopleSoft Enterprise Student Financials, PeopleSoft Enterprise Student Financial Aid, PeopleSoft Enterprise Gradebook, PeopleSoft Enterprise Campus Self Service and PeopleSoft Enterprise Contributor Relations.
Xavier University will enjoy the following benefits using Oracle’s comprehensive suite of applications:
- Enhanced technology for the institution,
- Efficiency in processes,
- Integrated and consistent information,
- Easier reporting,
- User friendliness of the system,
- Access to data,
- Ability to provide better customer service,
- Increased functionality,
- Improved cross-departmental functioning,
- Increased security of data.
This project will be deployed by Techlogix, a Platinum Partner of the Oracle PartnerNetwork.
“We selected Oracle because it answers our requirement for an integrated system that can manage the lifecycle of the students from the earliest recruitment stage up to the point that they become alumni,” said Harriet B. Fernandez, Director for Computing and Information Services Office, Xavier University. “Our previous system could no longer sustain the growing needs of the University, thus, we are thrilled to discover that PeopleSoft Enterprise Campus Solutions supports the future growth of Xavier University.”
