DIGITAL TRANSFORMATION
DLSU unveils BITUIN Project
De La Salle University (DLSU) has embarked on a university-wide digital transformation initiative starting this Academic Year 2019-2020.
This move aims to drastically improve information access, streamline organization processes, and enhance services for university stakeholders. The drive is coined as the BITUIN Project. BITUIN stands for Banner Initiative to Transform, Unify, Integrate, and Navigate.
“This is in response to the everchanging needs and challenges inside and outside the classroom,” says DLSU president Br. Raymundo
Suplido FSC. “This will change the landscape of how we facilitate learning, conduct our operations, and provide services to our stakeholders.”
BITUIN’s flagship initiative Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) system is a three-year project involving financial management, human resources management, and student life cycle.
The project committee, together with faculty members and personnel, and industry consultants, determine the gaps and the “pain points” in the student lifecycle, financial lifecycle, and HR lifecycle.
For the student lifecycle, the University works with Camu, a leading educational technology solution serving more than 200 institutions in six countries. DLSU also partners with Genie Technologies, Inc. to focus on the concerns and challenges in the human resources domain. For financial domain, Active Business Solutions, Inc. (/a/b/s/) is tapped. With their expertise in financial management solutions, /a/b/s/ will offer improvements in process documentation, implement Oracle Fusion, and provide user training, and technical support.
“Harnessing digital technology will allow DLSU to maximize our resources and enable us to deliver quality education that befits our aspirations as a university of regional standing,” shares Br. Ray. “Our shared commitment to the Lasallian mission and our individual desire for lifelong learning will ensure the success of this digital transformation.”
