REDWOOD SHORES, Calif., June 20,
2019 /PRNewswire/ -- To compete more aggressively at the
pinnacle of higher education, Baylor
University—the oldest continuously operating university in
Texas—has adopted Oracle Cloud Applications. With cloud-based
applications for finance, planning and human resources, Baylor will
be able to improve productivity and business insights by
transforming administrative operations and employee experience and
gaining real-time access to data from across its growing
operations.
From its beginning as a small Baptist college in 1845, Baylor
has grown to serve more than 16,000 students annually and has
become a world-class brand in higher education. Oracle Cloud
Applications play a supportive role in Baylor's aspiration to
become a preeminent research university as outlined in the
institution's academic strategic plan, Illuminate.
To stay at the forefront of higher education as it continues to
evolve, Baylor is replacing its manual systems with an integrated
suite of applications that can provide real-time insights into key
business processes. To meet these needs and gain a competitive edge
over peer-institutions, Baylor selected Oracle Enterprise Resource
Planning (ERP) Cloud, Oracle Enterprise Performance Management
(EPM) Cloud, and Oracle Human Capital Management (HCM) Cloud
"Education is evolving and the technology that drives our
organization forward needs to reflect modern education best
practices," said Becky King,
associate vice president of IT, Baylor
University. "Shifting to Oracle Cloud Applications will help
us introduce modern best practices that will make our organization
more efficient and reach our goal of becoming a top-tier, Christian
research institution. Moving core finance, planning and HR systems
to one cloud-based platform will also improve business insight and
enhance our ability to respond to changing dynamics in
education."
With Oracle ERP Cloud, Oracle EPM Cloud and Oracle HCM Cloud,
Baylor will be able to take advantage of the cloud to break down
organizational silos, standardize processes and manage financial,
planning and workforce data on a single integrated cloud platform.
Oracle Cloud Applications' common and intuitive interface enables
rapid user adoption, delivers enhanced employee experience and
improves productivity.
"To compete at the leading edge of higher education,
institutions need real-time visibility across the entire
organization in order to respond to rapidly changing educational
needs and expectations," said Hari
Sankar, Group Vice President, Product Management. "With
Oracle Cloud Applications, Baylor will be able to make smarter
decisions about the direction of the organization while delivering
better experiences to end users, improving its agility and enabling
it to better compete in higher education."
