Technology bells and whistles are meaningless to higher education and research institutions. You need proven solutions that address key budgetary and service issues. And that position your institution to attract and retain the best academic talent – and maximum funding. SAP is dedicated to building better institutions by helping you achieve the following objectives:

• Reducing university administrative costs through efficient management – SAP solutions support all processes from front office to back office – including those involving prospects, students, and alumni, as well as financials, operations, procurement, human capital management, reporting, and analytics. Support for integrated workflow results in fast, organized, and productive management processes across the campus and research community.
• Unifying students, faculty and staff with information and processes – Many higher education and research organizations spend the bulk of their IT budgets on maintaining existing infrastructure and integrating heterogeneous systems, leaving few resources for innovation. In contrast, the SAP NetWeaver platform integrates your students, faculty, and staff with information and business processes while reducing complexity and cost.
• Meeting compliance and governance requirements – SAP allows you to meet demands for accountability and financial transparency with executive dashboards, alerting and reporting, security and identity management, content and records management, and workflow and business-process management. Deploying a common platform helps you meet risk mitigation objectives and comply with directives, such as SEVIS and OMB Circular A-21.
• Promoting a relationship-focused mind-set with constituents – SAP solutions help you improve the efficiency of communications with various stakeholders and foster a focus on your constituents, such as students, faculty, alumni, and suppliers. In today's competitive academic environment, organizations must differentiate themselves by providing personalized, timely, and easily accessed information.
