Curtin University

“The move to SaaS presented Curtin with opportunities to adopt new technology and look at ways to integrate many of our services and systems, while also building a foundation for a consolidated 360-degree view of the student," said Chief Student Services Officer, Neville Hiscox.

Poepjes added, “It also enables us to accelerate the ongoing digitisation of our services, making full use of Ci Anywhere, and to grow our global marketplace and provide one Curtin experience across all of our campuses.”

With a previously unwieldy and time-consuming process in place to manage class registrations, Curtin has now been able to test the system under heavy load. “We had 520 registrations a minute during the first hour, and within the first few days had 96,567 successful registrations in total,” said Leah Bromilow, Manager, Student Systems.

“From the financial side of things, the scalability of the system is important, for reporting periods like year-end where we have a high number of processes going through the system,” said Thomas Griebel, Manager for Finance Business Improvement.

“We get more firepower, because it’s a platform which is scalable and maintained in the cloud, as opposed to being restricted to servers which are on-premise.”

Hiscox added, “TechnologyOne is not just a reliable technology partner, but a partner for the future that's looking to SaaS and other modern technologies to support the student experience. It's terrific to have a partner that’s based locally and actually understands the environment we operate in.”

“We want to provide the ability for our students and staff members to be able to access cutting edge technology at any time from any device at any place. And that's certainly one of the mantras that TechnologyOne lives by.”
