Karachi School for Business & Leadership selects disruptive CAMS Enterprise ERP to manage campus


St. Louis — January 16, 2013 — Karachi School for Business & Leadership 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.

Karachi School for Business and Leadership was established when a group of Pakistani business and corporate leaders recognized that Karachi, the business and commercial hub of Pakistan, needed a world-class business school.

Founders envisaged KSBL as a graduate management school offering high-quality, leading-edge programs to the country’s many talented local students as well as those accepted from abroad. Established as a school with a social conscience, KSBL promotes economic and social change by developing leaders who will impact organizations through their expertise and contribute to business excellence by ensuring highly professional and ethical practices in the national and international
market place.

As a relatively new school, KSBL wanted to ensure it had a proper academic-management foundation in place to support its ambitious growth plan. To meet this goal, its academic ERP would have to include modules for registration, LMS, document management, student services, portals and alumni relations. In addition to CAMS Enterprise, the selection committee also looked at Ellucian Banner, Desire2Learn and some local vendors.

“In implementing this ERP, the committee concluded that CAMS’ user-friendly interface, reliability along with strong security features and comprehensive online assistance has really made the life easy for the KSBL MBA team,” Muhammad Khalilullah, head of IT said.

“Three Rivers Systems’ software-as-a-service offering — CAMS Cloud — was a deciding factor, and we are sure that CAMS will help KSBL in achieving one of its key objectives, that of being a world-class institution in Pakistan,” said Associate Dean and Director MBA Program Dr. Rizwan Amin Sheikh.

As other CAMS Enterprise clients report, the SaaS 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.

“Managing the complexities of a premier business college today requires an equally nimble academic ERP solution,” Three Rivers Systems Vice President of Global Sales and Marketing Jami Morshed said. “CAMS Enterprise yields much-improved business performance by containing and reducing costs while standardizing and automating business processes. CAMS is a revolutionary system with the power to boost campus-wide productivity today, while preparing institutions for optimum performance tomorrow and generations to come.”
