29 March 2009 The Chinese University and IBM to Implement New Student Information System Under the agreement signed in December 2008, IBM Global Business Services will implement Chinese University Student Information System (CUSIS) which will be used to manage the entire student lifecycle and address regulatory compliance and reporting requirements while driving operational efficiency. IBM will also provide CUHK with change management services to ensure smooth and successful adoption of the system by users and integration with CUHK’s existing IT application systems and infrastructure. “Today’s students are more global and mobile in nature. The new system will allow them to access university services anytime, anywhere and at their own pace, thus enhancing services as well as their learning experience,” said Professor Pak-Chung Ching, Pro-Vice-Chancellor, CUHK. “In addition, the system will help us develop a strong link between the University, students and alumni. CUHK and IBM will work in close collaboration to develop this brand new system.” CUSIS will be built on Oracle PeopleSoft Enterprise Campus Solutions, an ERP-based student administration management system. Leveraging on the Solutions’ Student Administration, Gradebook, Contributor Relations, Campus Self-Service, and Enterprise Portal modules, CUSIS will allow users to manage student admission and registration, course selection and enrollment, assessment and examination records, student financial and alumni records, and to provide students with self-service capabilities to meet CUHK’s growing requirements. “CUHK is a long-time partner of IBM and shares the same vision with us in helping our society progress through higher education,” said Gautam Bardoloi, Partner, Growth Markets Leader, Asset Management Services, IBM Global Business Services. “We are excited about extending our close relationship with CUHK to deliver solutions that will help advance Hong Kong’s education system, and confident that the new system will address CUHK’s current and future needs.” IBM has been CUHK’s partner since 1960s, and has deep insight and extensive experience in providing solutions to leading institutions around the world.
