Procedure rationale SureCampus is uniquely positioned to partner with the
University to provide technical services to migrate and
maintain the system. Their multi-skilled team covers Cloud
migration, Oracle support and have extensive experience
of the Quercus system. Many of the team formerly worked
at CampusIT and Ellucian and know the system at the USW
in great detail.
SureCampus has an in-depth knowledge and
understanding of Quercus Admissions Plus, which will
enable them to support the critical system processes that
will run through Quercus Admissions. SureCampus is
uniquely positioned to partner with the University to
provide technical support to teams within the university.
Their multi-skilled team covers Cloud migration, Oracle
support and have extensive experience of the Quercus
system.
f we do not engage SureCampus to assist with further
upgrades of the Quercus Software, then the University is at
risk of not being able to upgrade or run its core student
record system, which would put key student administrative
processes at risk, such as Admissions, Assessment Boards,
Award Boards, enrolment and graduation, thus impacting
student experience and recruitment. Upgrades are also
essential for being able to undertake statutory reporting.
There are no other suppliers with the level of knowledge,
skill and resource availability to provide the services
required. |
