New Strategic Partnership Between Governet and Campus CE Provides Unprecedented Synergy and Connectivity Between Higher Education Institutions and Students
(GlobeNewswire Via Acquire Media NewsEdge) Santa Barbara, Nov. 15, 2012 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Governet, creators of CurricUNET, the
award-winning curriculum
automation system for higher education institutions, announced
today that it has formed a strategic partnership with Campus CE,
developers of innovative on-demand software services for colleges,
universities and continuing education institutions. The
partnership will create synergy between the companies, expand the
capacity of each to improve educational access, automate workflow,
and provide unprecedented Web-based connectivity between
institutions and students.
Currently serving hundreds of higher education
institutions and statewide college systems throughout the United
States, CurricUNET's suite of academic
curriculum management services automates, streamlines and
indexes approved curriculum in the states where it is deployed.
CurricUNET also enables institutions to connect to statewide
articulation and transfer systems and share vital resources for
accreditation-required curriculum review via Web-based access to a
database of more than a half-million course outlines and thousands
of program and degree offerings.
Campus CE's open enrollment
Education Management System (EMS), which is currently deployed
at more than eighty institutions nation-wide, including
multi-campus regional and state-wide systems, serves as a student
services portal for online registration, admissions, payment
processing and administrative management tools for distance
education and open enrollment curriculum. Provided through a
Software as a
Service Platform (SaaS), Campus CE's EMS enables institutions
to electronically connect students, faculty and administrators
throughout complex registration, academic scheduling and student
networks. The system provides flexible options for marketing to
constituents while providing administrators real-time information
for academic decision making..
The strategic partnership will combine resources
and maximize synergistic capabilities of both companies to expand
their networks by creating the Campus CE / CurricUNET Integrated
System, which will enable unprecedented sharing of information
between higher education institutions and students. The
Integrated System will bridge each company's networks in areas of
curriculum development, management, and approval, pre- and
co-requisite tracking, administration and student information,
articulation, academic scheduling, enrollment, and curriculum
delivery - both online and in the classroom.
"For more than a decade, we have been building
the worldwide curriculum network which has been accessed,
primarily, by educators and administrators at client institutions,"
said George Tamas, Governet's Chief Executive Officer. "By
leveraging our vast library of course and program offerings with
Campus CE's EMS, the strategic alliance seeks to automate and
improve upon the primary value chain activities of public and
private higher education and training organizations."
The Campus CE / CurricUNET Integrated System
will streamline processes and eliminate double entries into
multiple databases at each level, which will create significant
savings in labor and optimize access to information across
institutional databases. With such automation, the average
curriculum approval and education management overhead can be
reduced by more than 70%, which can ultimately reduce the cost of
education for students.
"Our mission is to make higher education and
training affordable and accessible for 100% of our nation's student
and adult learner population by developing the 21st
century, internet-driven standard for the higher education,
technical training and lifelong learning workflows," said Loren
Pace, CEO of Campus CE. "By partnering with Governet, we are
tapping into their existing network, which will further our ability
to help educational and training institutions provide exceptional
student services. At the same time, we can greatly increase
connectivity, efficiency and productivity for all constituents
through synergistic collaboration, information sharing and
innovative technology."
