COMPASS TO LAUNCH FE SECTOR’S NEXT GENERATION ERP SYSTEM ProUnify to provide seamless integration of student records, finance, payroll and HR data enabling time and cost savings
Leading further education (FE) software provider, Compass Computer Consultants, an Advanced Computer Software company, has announced it will launch ProUnify, a complete enterprise resource planning (ERP) system. The system will off er seamless integration of student records, fi nance, HR and payroll processes and is expected to be released in spring 2015. ProUnify will be the most complete, fully
integrated business system available to the FE sector, at a time when funding cuts continue to hit colleges hard. The solution will play an essential role in enabling organisations to streamline processes while saving signifi cant money and time. The best-of-breed system is the latest in
a portfolio of solutions which Compass has specifi cally developed for colleges in partnership with its customer colleges. It will unify the full student management information system, ProSolution, with Advanced’s fi nance, HR and payroll software, enabling staff to streamline processes, communication and
transparency across organisations. As a result, colleges will benefi t from signifi cant cost savings and staff time will be freed up to focus on more value-adding activities. ProUnify will enable staff to take class
registers via the student record system. This data is then automatically transferred to the payroll system, which uses the number of class registers they have marked to calculate the number of hours staff members have worked and pays them accordingly. The process saves unnecessary data entry duplication in multiple systems and eliminates inaccuracies. ProUnify will also be designed to be easy to use and will integrate with third party fi nance, HR and payroll systems. City of Westminster College has already
approached Compass, expressing an interest in trialling a more unifi ed solution in order to improve effi ciencies and keep ahead of the curve. The College had identifi ed frustrations around working in technology silos, which
created inaccuracies and ineffi ciencies. For example, staff were spending signifi cant amounts of time moving data around diff erent systems, which did not talk to each other. It had become clear that there was a need for a more intuitive and unifi ed system. Dr Jim Evans, Assistant Principal
Information & Planning, City of Westminster College, said: “There is a signifi cant need in the sector for FE software specialists to develop a complete unifi ed ERP system. Compass has shown
through its development of high quality solutions over the years that it is uniquely disposed to provide the most eff ective system. “The value of the company’s unparalleled
support for colleges is critical. We are looking forward to working with them and to the launch of ProUnify in 2015.” The product launch will make Compass
one of the fi rst FE software suppliers to off er a unifi ed system across key management areas in the sector. UB
