UNIT4 in Education
The Education sector is a major market for UNIT4 Business Software. At a time of great change for the sector and an increasing demand for systems to deliver efficiencies and cost savings, colleges and universities are examining closely the relationships they have with existing suppliers.
New options for delivery including shared services, remote hosting of systems, outsourcing and Software as a Service (SaaS) are all being considered by institutions in the drive for greater efficiencies. Budget cuts and potential changes amongst funding councils continue to push institutions to review how they can improve their relationship with suppliers. Institutions are now looking to increase revenues from efficient student enquiry management and business engagement and compete for a larger market share with other institutions and commercial providers nationally and on the international stage.
How can we help?
UNIT4 Business Software has been creating partnerships with the UK Post 16 Education sector for over 20 years, during which time we have developed a comprehensive solution for the sector. In working closely with colleges and universities our teams of Education specific consultants have become trusted advisors to both our customers and the sector in general.
The UNIT4 solution – Agresso Campus - provides the major administrative functions of Finance, HR, Students, Research, Estates, Business Engagement and Environmental Management. With over 150 FE colleges and over 100 HE institutions using our solutions we are the leading supplier of modern, cost effective, administrative systems to the UK Education sector. As Colleges and Universities are constantly striving to reduce administration costs and the number of suppliers that they have to deal with, the Agresso Campus platform solution is being extended to include third party partner applications thereby allowing institutions the option of placing the prime responsibility of administration systems with UNIT4. Agresso Campus can be implemented on-site via a shared service or hosted over the JANET network.
What is the UNIT4 advantage?
UNIT4 has worked with the sector for 20 years as a partner rather than just a supplier and will work with you to build a sound, cost efficient and long term administrative platform for your institution. As a trusted advisor to the sector, UNIT4 offers solutions that will meet the requirements of the institution today as well as developing innovative solutions that will empower the colleges and universities of tomorrow.
Agresso Campus uniquely offers a complete solution involving both in-house solutions and best of breed applications from partner suppliers to the sector.
