Pakistani universities shared ideas, information and experiences at an event at the National University of Singapore to provide a unified voice to Oracle on all issues involving the solution among Asian users, so as to better inform the scoping, planning, implementation, and product development expertise surrounding Oracle’s PeopleSoft Campus Solutions for the future.

The National University of Singapore (NUS) has convened the first ever Asia PeopleSoft Enterprise Campus Solutions Special Interest Group (Asia CSSIG) at a two-day event held on campus.

Mr Tommy Hor, Director of NUS Computer Centre, said: “Asian institutions are at a different stage of PeopleSoft Campus Solutions adoption compared to our counterparts in North America, Europe and Australia/New Zealand. The challenges faced by Asian institutions are
also quite different as the education systems are not entirely the same. In a rapid changing business and technological environment, we believe our needs can be better served when we come together to share with Oracle our requirements, challenges and priorities in a single voice.”

“PeopleSoft Campus Solutions is seeing good adoption in almost every country in Asia,” said David Redden, General Manager, Asia-Pacific Education Sector, Oracle. “This Asia Campus Solution Special Interest Group is a great and timely initiative from NUS, and it is very
encouraging to see this marquee Asian university work so hard to jump-start a forum such as this – bringing together like-minded, skilled practitioners who are managing, collectively, a huge number ofstudents and alumni members in the region, to improve their skills and expertise and to provide their technology partners like Oracle with rich feedback and insight for us to help make the solution even more applicable to institutions in Asia.”

The Asia CSSIG is open to all existing institutions that use PeopleSoft Campus Solutions, or who are considering the use of the solution. Response to the inaugural Asia CSSIG was overwhelming, with the number of attendees significantly exceeding initial expectations.
The 140 participants from 25 education institutions in Singapore, Hong Kong, India, Pakistan, Malaysia also represented a good mix of management and project/support team representatives from the various institutions.
