PeopleAdmin, a PowerSchool company (NYSE: PWSC), the leading
provider of unified solutions for higher education, has announced a
collaboration with TAMS, a teaching assignment management software
built by Duke University.
TAMS, already utilized at more than 50 higher education
institutions, streamlines, and simplifies what has historically
been a highly manual, complex process. Faculty can easily submit
course assignment preferences, while administrators can determine
the most qualified faculty and instructors with clear views of
preference, capacity, and workload conflicts. With the optimized
utilization of their workforce, institutions can save hundreds of
thousands of budget dollars each year by fully utilizing their
salaried faculty and reducing the unnecessary use of part-time
instructors.
Along with PeopleAdmin’s Faculty Information System, this
collaboration will provide the most comprehensive view available of
past, present, and future faculty workload and effort. With easy
and effective activity reporting, streamlined teaching assignments,
and a feedback loop of course evaluation, institutions can optimize
academic planning and fuel student success.
“This collaboration marks a groundbreaking innovation in higher
education. Never before have faculty and administrative leaders had
a solution to streamline and optimize previously time-intensive,
manual processes,” said Rishi Rana, Executive Vice President of
PeopleAdmin. “By eliminating this administrative burden, we are
freeing faculty to focus on what really matters – driving student
outcomes.”
Key features of this new, comprehensive end-to-end faculty
solution include:
- Optimized academic planning: A robust, out-of-the box
solution to meet all academic planning needs – something never
before available – and built on a robust, state-of-the-art, highly
secure SaaS platform hosted on AWS (Amazon Web Services).
- Digitized course assignments: With centralized
management across an entire institution, administrators can
optimize assignments with just a click, saving hours of manual
labor.
- High ROI budget-savings: From year-one, TAMS can help
institutions significantly reduce instructor budgets by optimizing
faculty assignments.
- Predictive analytics: Easily customizable analytics and
reporting to drive decision-making and make reporting and
compliance a breeze.
- Drive faculty adoption: A user-friendly interface makes
it easy for faculty to submit course preferences from any device.
And with a transparent, consistent process, faculty have more
clarity and trust in the course assignment process.
"Our new collaboration with PeopleAdmin will bring our
technology to a well-established SaaS platform, allowing more
colleges and universities to benefit from TAMS,” said David
Bowersox, Vice Dean, Finance & Administration at Duke
University School of Nursing and the leader of TAMS. “We’ve seen a
significant impact on our teaching assignments process through
utilizing TAMS here at Duke and at universities across the nation
and are looking forward to supporting countless new colleges and
universities through this collaboration.”

About TAMS
Duke University experienced the same challenges as most colleges
and universities when it came to managing the complexities of
making faculty teaching assignments and managing workload.
Processes were cumbersome, inefficient and filled with operational
headaches. Senior leaders knew there had to be a better way of
matching the teaching preferences of faculty with the seemingly
endless number of options when planning an academic calendar,
supporting faculty participation in their workload planning and
reducing cost. Soon, the school’s software development team was
charged with creating a solution. This was the beginning of TAMS; a
data-driven teaching management system which has since been made
available to other colleges and universities at request. Learn more
