Digital Transformation of Private University
APIIT, a distinguished higher education institution in Asia, was founded in collaboration with Staffordshire University in the UK and Asia Pacific University of Technology and Innovation in Malaysia. Ceyentra was chosen as the consultant for this initiative. The result was a swift migration of the learning management system to the cloud, minimizing disruption to educational activities. After completing this phase, Ceyentra was brought in to assist with replacing the outdated student management system, which was based on technology that has been around for 20 years. By evaluating the current platforms, the team pinpointed specific requirements that existing solutions could not address, leading to the decision to create a custom solution for APIIT. This new system aims to identify and resolve the shortcomings of the previous system, enhancing operational efficiency through modern technology. It manages the student's journey from enrollment to graduation.
Convenient prospect management allows the university to track potential students, capturing details at each interaction until they are fully engaged. The online self-registration feature enables candidates to inquire about courses while applying for available discounts and concessions. Managing multiple intakes, which typically range from three to four per year, can be complex; therefore, an automated planning module for intakes, academic schedules, and class allocations has been implemented. Finally, comprehensive analytics on student performance, including exam results, attendance, resits, and participation in extracurricular activities, are accessible through the platform.
