Partnership complements growing ecosystem of
solutions built on Microsoft Dynamics 365
MONTREAL, Oct. 18,
2022 /CNW Telbec/ - Alithya Group inc. (TSX: ALYA)
(NASDAQ: ALYA) ("Alithya") is pleased to announce the signing of a
partnership agreement with OneWorldSIS Inc. ("OneWorldSIS"),
provider of the digitally transformative OneWorldSIS Student
Information System (SIS) for educational institutions.
While CRM manages relationships between students and a
university, registrar offices rely on SIS as a system of record,
helping institutions capture and manage core transactions.
This new partnership extends Alithya's existing footprint of
Higher Education solutions to better address the digital
transformation needs of the North American Higher Education sector, and specifically
expands Alithya's Microsoft Dynamics 365 CRM offerings to include a
solution tailored to the operational needs and administrative
functions of educational institutions.
Quote by Henry Hickman, Chief
Executive Officer of OneWorldSIS:
"The Student Information System is a critical technology that
all Higher Education institutions must implement as part of their
twenty-first century digital transformations. We are excited that
Alithya shares OneWorldSIS' vision that our SIS system is built for
today's world, helping institutions to maximize efficiencies and to
manage the entire student end-to-end lifecycle, from recruitment
through to alumni."
Quote by Damien Dumas,
Alithya's Higher Education Practice Lead:
"The entire North American Higher
Education sector is updating legacy systems. This strategic
partnership with OneWorldSIS reflects Alithya's goal of helping
Higher Education institutions of all sizes to modernize their
technology infrastructure with a Microsoft ecosystem that includes
SIS, finance, and CRM, plus a full range of complementary solutions
and implementation services."
A win-win collaboration
The partnership agreement reinforces Alithya's position as a
trusted advisor to the Higher Education sector, derived from
extensive experience in modern software architecture and the
unparalleled expertise of its dedicated Higher Education practice.
The win-win collaboration also provides OneWorldSIS with an
opportunity to leverage Alithya's expertise in the Higher Education
sector to expand the reach and adoption of its innovative SIS
product.
According to the Tambellini Group, a leading Higher Education
analyst firm, Student System Technology investments surged ahead by
98 percent in 2021, the largest annual increase in student system
selections in over a decade. The Tambellini Group predicts ongoing
acceleration in investments as available systems continue to
evolve, and as institutions address the need to enhance the student
experience and operational efficiencies with an increasing sense of
urgency.
