IIT Roorkee (IITR) announced a “kick-off meeting” for the implementation of SAP Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) project. The project will be implemented in partnership with Atos India in multiple phases and would cover the end-to-end life cycle management of the operations.
Professor Pradipta Banerji Director, IITR said, “It has been a constant endeavor at IIT Roorkee to manage change in our processes and systems and to ensure that they are user friendly and transparent. The Digital ERP Solution provided from Atos India would benefit in integrating our campuses spread across Roorkee, Saharanpur and Greater Noida.
IITR has decided to implement a combination of the best-in-breed ERP solution that suits all our institute’s needs for example we can track a student from admission to being an alumni and track his movement in the future after leaving the institute too. It would help integrate hostel functions and academics of every student. It will also track a faculty member from the application process to post retirement phase. This will ensure a seamless integration of all entities across IITR and its campuses.”
With the full scale deployment and implementation of the SAP Digital Solution, IITR will benefit from a common integrated system across different functions and processes leading to the standardisation of all processes and systems across the institute; enhanced monitoring of R&D activities, optimum utilisation of the resources, procurement, and administrative processes to name a few.
Milind Kamat, EVP and CEO of Atos India said, “We are excited to be in IIT Roorkee in their Digital Transformation Journey that starts with empowering of the Foundation IT that enables operational parts of the educational institutes, where all core business process are initially automated, then followed by implementation of the Student Lifecycle Management, using solutions from SAP solution by Atos.
Education Sector is one of our core commitment areas and there is a huge potential for innovation through Digitization and adoption of Digital technologies. For instance, Atos’ Hyper Computing Portfolio (HPC) is widely used in many research institutions globally. Our HPC is used in areas of R&D by educational institutes that include, Mathematics, Chemistry, Flow- Modelling, 3D Modelling, Biology, Aerospace and Oil & Gas. We see a huge potential with R&D competence that our prestigious institutes like IIT’s are capable of, which can match any global standards.”
Atos supports over 1,000,000 SAP end-users and have put in place over 5,000 implementations in more than 90 countries. In India Atos has been working with SAP for over 20 years.
