INFORMATION SYSTEMS IN MANAGEMENT V - SGGW

setting up the university schedule, students’ hostels administration, publications
and teachers output, teaching planning and others. There is a web access for students,
but no e-learning support. This system has more than fifty deployments,
generally in small universities. There is no financial and book-keeping system but
Uczelnia.XP easily integrates with SIMPLE.ERP, the product mentioned earlier.
SIMPLE Company has its own solution – SIMPLE.EDU, a set of integrated solutions
covering all aspects of the university, but it is not popular. The next interesting
system is ProAkademia and eAkademia prepared by APR System
(http://www.apr.pl). It has more than thirty deployments, rather at smaller universities.
ProAkademia consists of ten modules, the most important are: Deanery, teaching,
tuition, recruitment and schedules. Package eAkademia is an extension integrated
with ProAkademia and includes: Virtual Dean’s Office, Virtual Tutor,
Voice Portal or Information Kiosk. The system allows access to certain reliable
information through the Internet, Intranet, e-mail service, or Voice SMS Service. It
is also possible to run parts of the functionality of eAkademia if the ProAkademia
Package has not been bought.
Much less popular than the previous solutions is Nowoczesna Uczelnia
(Modern University) offered by the CSF Polska (http://www.csf.pl), based on
Microsoft Dynamics system. It is a special version for education of One4all platform.
Application supports a university in the following areas: Finance and
Accounting, Fixed Assets Management, Human Resources and Payroll,
Recruitment, Dean’s Office and other tasks. There are only a few installations; best
known is in the University of Life Sciences in Lublin. Edukacja.CL and
Rekrutacja.CL – product of Sygnity (earlier Computerland) (http://www.sygnity.pl)
is a modern comprehensive system of organizing and ordering support for educational
institutions – from the construction bid, through processes of recruitment,
training courses through the analysis and statistics and the use of the knowledge of
graduates. This system is implemented at Wrocław University of Technology.
There are few less popular systems like: eUczelnia – by PH7 Computing
(http://www.ph7.pl) used at the Wrocław University of Economics; e-uczelnia – by
Confido (http://www.confido.pl) used at Skarbek University in Warsaw; Bazus by
HIGHCOM (http://bazus.pl) used at the Karol Szymanowski Academy of Music in
Katowice or eKampus – prepared by SYSTEMA Company
(http://www.systema.pl) implemented at the University of Economics and
Computer Science in Warsaw.
As we mentioned in the previous chapter, many universities have their own solutions.
A good example is Sokrates (Królikowski et al. 2003), an information system
