Under the terms of agreement, HCL is deploying PeopleSoft solution suite including modules like Campus Solutions, Finance and Supply Chain Management (FSCM), Human Capital Management (HCM) and Enterprise Portal. This will enable Sharda University to seamlessly manage the entire academic life-cycle of students and related administrative processes. The benefits include superior student/applicant experience like multiple enquiry channels across the globe, key real-time information dashboard for applicants, students and alumni through self-service portal; optimized faculty work allocation; and ability to handle domestic and international applications on a single platform.
The solution will therefore help Sharda University significantly improve operational efficiencies across its national and international offices and ensure compliance with regulatory norms.
“With the aim of providing a world-class learning experience to our students, we initiated the path-breaking program of redefining our processes and IT landscape in line with highest international standards. The PeopleSoft University Management System (ERP) is a part of this vision and catapults us to the league of select renowned international universities that run on an advanced solution like this.” said Mr. P K Gupta, Chairman, Sharda Group. “In HCL, we found a partner who could support the strategic initiative of deploying the ERP solution suite across all our schools. We look forward to leveraging HCL’s domain expertise to achieve continued operational efficiencies.” added Mr. Mudit Consul, EVP, Sharda Group.
“Education is one of the sunrise sectors in India and a huge consumer of technology services. The successful implementation of the PeopleSoft solutions suite will help Sharda University reduce operational costs and transform the student experience by simplifying complex administrative processes.” said Pradeep Bindal, President, Asia Pacific, Middle East & Africa, HCL Technologies. “We look forward to a mutually rewarding partnership with the university.”
