Higher-ed Leaders Grapple with ‘Disruptive’ Challenges at EDUCAUSE As Three Rivers Systems Offers Answers Via Its Unique Academic ERP
Anaheim, CA (PRWEB) October 14, 2013 -- Front and center at this year’s annual meeting of higher-education’s top global business-and-technology leaders is the ongoing quest for cures for an inescapable disruptive environment challenging colleges and universities around the world.
EDUCAUSE, the annual conference held here this week at the Anaheim Convention Center, is the premier confab for higher-education business-and-IT professionals taking on today’s toughest management and technology issues.
With an agenda dotted with terms and phrases like “change management,” “rethinking business as usual,” “big data,” “data-driven decision making,” “MOOCs,” “flipped classrooms,” “mobile environments” and “adaptive learning,” it’s clear education leaders are seeking innovative technology solutions to outpace a rapidly evolving landscape.
Designed as an opportunity for senior leaders to check out the latest advances in high-tech for higher-ed, EDUCAUSE 2013 gives attendees a chance to see the powerful, new features in Three Rivers Systems Inc.’s CAMS Enterprise, billed as the “only disruptive academic ERP” capable of meeting the demands of today’s disruptive environment.
According to Three Rivers Systems President and Founder Amir Tajkarimi, “Year in and year out business and IT leaders in higher education are being asked to do more with less while facing unrelenting economic pressures and trying to keep up with rapid changes. They are required to do more reporting than ever and they must pay greater attention to metrics measuring student outcomes, making sophisticated business and IT strategies a must,” he said.
Tajkarimi said CAMS Enterprise Business Analytics, the academic ERP’s powerful business-intelligence feature, gives campus administrators the on-demand data they need in attractive easy-to-use dashboards that simplify and enhance the strategic decision-making process so necessary in today’s unforgiving environment of cost-consciousness and accountability.
“Achieving maximum efficiency and productivity that helps deliver the ultimate student learning experience is every institution's goal,” Tajkarimi said.
Many forward-thinking EDUCAUSE-member schools are leaders in online education. CAMS Enterprise is also uniquely capable of meeting the special requirements of these programs. Whether it’s having the flexibility to offer semesters, trimesters, serial or concurrent terms all with variable start and end dates, CAMS can be readily configured.
