Higher Education

Education is one of the UK’s highest priorities. Successful education at all levels enables the country to meet the challenges of a global knowledge environment, allows individuals from all backgrounds to achieve their highest goals and contributes significantly to the national economy.

With limited resources available it is the duty of Education administrators to maximise the value for money they achieve through making their business processes and commercial practices as efficient and as effective as possible.

Oracle and Patech specialise in providing applications solutions for the Education market covering several areas including:

• Higher Education Institutions
• Examining Boards

Solutions for Higher Education

Building upon the almost universally adopted Oracle database technology, the Oracle E-Business Suite offers a complete solution for the key Higher Education administrative applications of:

• Finance and Procurement
• Student Records
• HR and Payroll

Oracle is unique in providing a well proven suite that may be implemented either as ‘best of breed’ or as a more complete, integrated set of applications.

In order to deliver these applications in the most cost effective way Oracle UK has selected Patech to be their preferred implementation partner for the E-Business Suite in Higher Education.

Based on extensive experience of projects within the sector Patech is able to provide the highest quality software solutions at the lowest overall cost. This is achieved by basing solutions on the world-class Oracle E-Business Suite combined with Patech developed HE templates. The approach reduces implementation timescales and costs, maximises the use of HE specific content and builds upon HE best practice processes.

Solutions for Examining Boards

Increasing use of advanced technology and a more competitive commercial environment provides key drivers for organisations such as Examining Boards to streamline their business processes as far as possible.

The Oracle E-Business Suite provides all the components for automating the interactions between the Board and its stakeholders including schools, examiners, suppliers and other customers. It also offers highly versatile systems for the internal administration of the organisation’s finance and personnel / payroll functions.
