BUITEMS on its roadmap to “Quality and Excellence in Education” is continuously analyzing its business processes and the tools that are being used to execute them. These studies revealed that these processes and the platform need to be upgraded to meet the evolving needs of higher education. Back in 2006, BUITEMS worked closely with the Higher Education Commission and “Campus Management Solution” project was initiated. The first and foremost job to be done was to select a standard off-the-shelf solution that would have more tightly integrated information and collaboration to improve interaction and connect information to actions and would be adaptable to all sizes and types of institutions including small, medium sized, and large, public, multi-campus universities. Finally, after a detailed survey PeopleSoft Campus Solution was selected to be implemented at six public sector universities including Dow University of Health Sciences, Karachi, University of Engineering and Technology, Peshawar, Quaid-i-Azam University, Islamabad, Islamia University, Bahawalpur, Balochistan University of Information Technology, Engineering and Management Sciences Quetta and Punjab University of Lahore. Techlogix Pakistan (Pvt) Ltd was selected to implement the solution according to the needs of each university. PeopleSoft Campus Solutions is the world's leading student system and alumni development solution for higher education and is being used at over 800 campuses in more than 20 countries including world’s leading universities like Stanford University, University of California, Berkley, Cambridge University, Cornell University, Duke University and many more.
