IAU College of Medicine, in West Indies, Selects Disruptive CAMS Enterprise ERP to Manage Campus
Caribbean medical school with state-of-the-art technology and curriculum opts for unique Three Rivers Systems’ SaaS offering for student lifecycle, including clinical rotations.
St. Louis, MO, December 21, 2012 --(PR.com)-- International American University College of Medicine has selected CAMS® Enterprise, the flagship disruptive ERP solution from Three Rivers Systems Inc. as its new academic enterprise resource planning system to manage its entire student lifecycle. A disruptive technology is an innovation creating a new market and value network to “disrupt” an existing market by displacing earlier technology.
IAU College of Medicine is a private medical school located in Vieux Fort, Saint Lucia, West Indies in the Caribbean. IAU graduates earn a Doctor of Medicine degree.
IAU offers a state-of-the-art curriculum in medical education, using the latest technology and teaching methods based on the U.S. model and is delivered via small classes by a team of expert faculty working closely and personally with students. Through numerous collaborations with health-care organizations, academic medical institutions and other key stakeholders, IAU has played a major role in the development of the health-and-education infrastructure in St. Lucia, providing training and education for hundreds of health-care professionals and students around the world.
IAU previously relied on an amalgam of systems and manual processes to manage its student lifecycle.
According to Dr. Mark Slivkoff, Ph.D., IAU’s dean of academic affairs, this patchwork created significant challenges. “We had a serious lack of integration between system modules and had to rely on manual entry of application information,” he said. Add to that a lack of reporting and no financial-aid functionality plus an inability to process online payments, and it was clear they needed a change.
“We didn’t have any electronic document management or student or faculty portals; and managing clinical rotations was also a major headache,” he added. Dr. Slivkoff said the IAU selection committee was impressed by CAMS Enterprise’s overall ease of use; strong registration and degree-audit modules; and critically important, its ability to support the college’s clinical rotations.
In selecting CAMS Enterprise over Empower Software Solutions and eCampuslynx, IAU also cited Three Rivers Systems’ cloud offering as a plus. As many other clients report, the SaaS — or software as a service — model helps improve cash flow and the service is booked as an operational expense rather than a capital expenditure.
CAMS Enterprise is a unique solution for higher education. Totally browser-based and designed from the ground up to leverage the Web, it is unlike older conventional systems that use the Internet as an afterthought. CAMS is fully optimized for mobile apps, so students and faculty alike can interact with their institutions around the clock from mobile devices on the go, anytime and anywhere.
