Emmanuel University, in its quest to enhance educational excellence and operational efficiency, has partnered with GiantPlus, a leading innovation and tech company, to develop a comprehensive Student Information Management System (SIMS).
This system is designed to streamline university services across three fundamental components: Human Resources, Finance, and Student Management. At the heart of the SIMS is its centralized nature, which, according to the Joel Mkandawire; EMUNI’s Marketing and Communication Officer, promises to be a game-changer for the entire university. “The centralized system will significantly enhance our operational capabilities, allowing for seamless interaction between departments and a more cohesive university environment,” he remarked.
The sentiment is echoed by the Student Union President; Gift Chizuula, who expressed gratitude towards the university for embracing innovation. “This is a testament to EMUNI’s commitment to staying abreast of technological advancements. It’s a step that resonates with the dynamic nature of our times,” they said.
Acknowledging the need for continual improvement, Kondwani Chimatiro, a Chief Developer from GiantPlus highlighted during an orientation that the SIMS is not a static entity. “To remain relevant and serve the evolving needs of University, we will keep developing, refining and automating the system.” The implementation of the SIMS has been marked by a series of orientations, engaging various university stakeholders. These sessions have been pivotal in ensuring the successful adoption of the system by the administration teams, faculty members, support staff, and students.
With the SIMS now in place, Emmanuel University has vital information at its fingertips, promising a more streamlined and effective management of university operations. This leap forward is more than just an upgrade — it’s a transformation that positions Emmanuel University at the forefront of educational.
