With a focus on students as customers with high expectations, UQ digitised 40+ business processes in 12 months to provide a better overall user experience leveraging existing 15-20 year old legacy systems.
The University of Queensland (UQ) is one of Australia’s leading research and teaching institutions. In 2017, the University had more than 52,000 students including 15,400 international students from 141 nations. UQ is continually discovering and practising innovative approaches to fostering student retention and employability. The University works towards and achieves its strategic objectives by developing ways to engage students – and by pursuing best-practice inductions and student experiences.
The modern student is digitally savvy and has very high expectations about the experience and personalisation their university provides. Supporting different student profiles across a variety of channels is a very complex problem for universities to solve, particularly at UQ where the technology landscape is large and complex with core systems such as Student Management, HR, Financial and Learning Management up to 15-20 years old.
The University of Queensland needed to:
Integration of core systems such as Student Management, HR, Financial and Learning Management which are up to 15-20 years old
Business Process Automation has dramatically improved user experience for students, staff and alumni at UQ. Students can submit and track requests in real time from their web or mobile device and the time taken for staff to process requests has been greatly reduced. UQ is also benefiting from cost efficiencies due to improved data accuracy and timeliness, a reduction in integration development effort and paper minimisation
Improving Student Experience and Services with Business Process Digitisation.
"It's very important for us to think about students as customers...they have huge expectations in what they expect from services and they don't expect to have to go to different systems to get access to various kinds of service requests."
