January 19, 2012

AMA Education System (AMAES), Asia’s pioneer and largest network of universities and colleges, has announced that it has improved its student administration system and business operations with the successful deployment of Oracle’s PeopleSoft Campus Solutions.

With PeopleSoft Campus Solutions, AMAES improves higher education through enhanced access to information and more efficient management of the processes that facilitate teaching, learning and research. PeopleSoft Campus Solutions, the world’s leading student system and alumni development solution for higher education, manages AMAES’ full student administration processes – including prospect management, admissions, student records, enrollment, curriculum, advisement, transfer credit, student financials, financial aid, graduation and alumni relations.

The solutions provide a web-based, flexible and robust system which enables the institution to easily implement new rules, consolidate high volumes of real-time branch reports and streamline infrastructure and system maintenance.

With the previous system, AMAES experienced complicated and slow consolidation of voluminous reports from different local or international departments and branches. With PeopleSoft Campus Solutions, AMAES now manages data in an integrated system and thus simplifies the school’s processes while maximizing resources and reducing costs.

AMAES has deployed PeopleSoft Campus Solutions at the AMA Computer University and in the 11 trimestral campuses of AMA Computer College. The organization will also implement the application suite across the rest of AMAES entities – more than 200 campuses worldwide – including AMA Computer Learning Center (ACLC), AMA International Institute of Technology (AIIT), ABE Colleges, AMA School of Medicine and AMA International Aviation Academy.

AMAES deployed these key modules: PeopleSoft Recruiting and Admissions, PeopleSoft Student Records, PeopleSoft Academic Advisement, PeopleSoft Gradebook, PeopleSoft Student Financials, PeopleSoft Student Financial Aid, PeopleSoft Contributor Relations, PeopleSoft Campus Self Service, and PeopleSoft Student Administration Integration Pack.

AMAES has worked with Oracle and Techlogix, a Gold Partner of the Oracle PartnerNetwork, and HP Philippines in the deployment of Oracle’s PeopleSoft Enterprise Campus Solutions.

AMAES has previously purchased Oracle E-Business Suite and was also the first Oracle Academy in the country which integrated Advanced Computer Science (ACS) and Enterprise Business Application (EBA) into the AMA Computer University curriculum.

“We are very pleased with the results of our previous partnerships with Oracle in the deployment of its solutions in our business systems. We are happy to renew the partnership with the implementation of Oracle’s PeopleSoft Campus Solutions in more than 200 campuses of AMAES,” said Edwin Santos, Chief Information Officer of AMAES. “We take caution to make certain that we choose the right partners and a trusted solution expert to experience continued success.”

“We want to congratulate AMAES on the successful roll out of Oracle’s PeopleSoft Campus Solutions. It is important to acknowledge the pioneering decision of the management to implement this state of the art solution, as AMAES has become the first live site for PeopleSoft Campus Solution in Philippines. We also want to congratulate the AMAES team that worked closely with Techlogix to make this project a success,” said Mir Maaz Mahmood, vice president business development, Techlogix.

“With the implementation of Oracle’s PeopleSoft Campus Solutions, AMAES has a comprehensive administrative suite capable of responding to the growing needs of its constituents as well as preparing the institution for future expansion,” said Edler Panlilio, country manager, Applications, Oracle Philippines. “Partnering with AMAES for this project does not only result in school system improvements, but also helps produce competent professionals in the field of information technology and medicine.”
