Satyam implements PeopleSoft solutions for MAHE

Satyam Computer Services Limited has implemented India's first PeopleSoft solutions for Manipal Academy of Higher Education (MAHE), a press release said.

MAHE is part of the Manipal Education and Medical Group that has two universities, 35 institutions, 11 hospitals and a student base of around 70,000 under its aegis.

The PeopleSoft solution will facilitate areas like student finance, human resources management system, payroll, financial, procurement and inventory and portal through end-to-end implementation of PeopleSoft Enterprise applications.

MAHE needed commonality of critical processes across various educational institutions and hospitals within the university, which has been standardised now through the PeopleSoft implementation.

Manual handling of various database led to inconsistencies, which is now being supported through an automated single database, leading to data consistency and reduced overheads.

With this application, students and senior management can now track information and communicate seamlessly, the release said.

Sriram Papani, vice-president of the company's enterprise applications practice, said: "We are pleased with the success of this project which is the first ever campus solution implementation in the country. The Manipal Education and Medical Group have been the torchbearers for quality education in the country for over five decades. With this automation adoption, I strongly believe their practices and processes would reach greater heights."

Satyam has developed a range of service offerings like customer relationship management (CRM), university administration, student self-help, e-learning and grants management to support the functioning of educational institutions.
