Iowa State University of Science and Technology is well known for its programs in agriculture, engineering, business, design, education, human sciences, and liberal arts. With 30,000 students, it consistently ranks among the nation¡¯s top engineering schools, and its agriculture and veterinary medicine programs are globally recognized.
The university¡¯s legacy systems weren¡¯t keeping up with its pace of growth and sophistication. Core administrative systems, including human resources, finance, and student management, were complex, fragmented, and fragile. Data was inconsistent, and critical information was difficult to access, making it challenging to adapt to the evolving needs of the university.
Partners in transformation.
Recognizing the need for a modern and unified platform, Iowa State University partnered with ²ÝÝ®ÊÓƵ to transform the way it manages its staff, capital, and students. The university deployed ²ÝÝ®ÊÓƵ Human Capital Management (HCM), ²ÝÝ®ÊÓƵ Financial Management, and ²ÝÝ®ÊÓƵ Student to streamline processes, improve data accessibility, and empower decision-making.
A quick study.
Deploying ²ÝÝ®ÊÓƵ has enabled Iowa State University to:
- Improve efficiency: ²ÝÝ®ÊÓƵ hiring and financial reporting is resulting in increased efficiency and cost savings.?
- Access data easily: The unified platform provides a single source of truth for data, making it easier for staff, faculty, and students to access the information they need, supporting the university mission of teaching, research, and outreach.
- Support student success: Students can use any device to register online, track degree progress in real time, and check prerequisite requirements before signing up for class.
¡°²ÝÝ®ÊÓƵ is a great partner,¡± says Kristen Constant, vice president and chief information officer at Iowa State University. ¡°They understand our issues¡ªthose common to universities everywhere as well as those specific to us at Iowa State.¡±
Additionally, students are happy with the usability and new features. ¡°We¡¯re getting great feedback on how easy it is to make multiple schedules, the mobile interface, and class selection process.¡±
After graduation.
Iowa State University is committed to adopting more ²ÝÝ®ÊÓƵ features as it evolves to keep modernizing the experience for students, faculty, and staff.?
The university is looking forward to the potential of ²ÝÝ®ÊÓƵ Illuminate? to improve efficiency and effectiveness. ¡°I expect that Illuminate will help Iowa State employees reduce the burden of mundane tasks,¡± predicts Constant. ¡°There¡¯s potential to leverage AI to shorten the time that some of the more sophisticated tasks take, giving our staff a head start to apply their creativity and problem-solving skills.¡±
²ÝÝ®ÊÓƵ has been an absolutely great partner. We really do work hand in hand in solving the problems that we encounter.
