New Higher Education Practice helping
universities to meet the growing demands of the digital age
MONTREAL, July 21, 2021 /CNW Telbec/ - Alithya (TSX:
ALYA) (NASDAQ: ALYA) is proud to unveil its Higher Education
practice, aimed at accompanying universities in the digital
transformation of their unique organizational processes.
Launched this year, Alithya's Higher Education practice has
gained steady momentum in a very receptive sector. To date, five
top-tier Canadian institutions have initiated projects with
Alithya. With nearly 100 public and private universities and
colleges in Canada, and more than
5,000 higher education institutions in the United States, the potential market for
Alithya's Higher Education practice is significant. Alithya's
specialized team continues to grow as it targets expansion into
those markets.
Personalized experiences: An incentive for the digital
transition of universities
As Millennials continue to push the boundaries of connectivity and
lifestyle preferences, higher education institutions must address
the digital demands of their clientele, who seek more modernized
and simplified user experiences to help facilitate and democratize
their access to information. Traditional administrative processes
have relied upon volumes of printed information stored in filing
cabinets, resulting in much of that information being overlooked
due to a lack of virtual access. Accordingly, these institutions
face increased pressure to develop business models that address
those demands.
Successful architecture
Alithya's visionary Higher Education practice has stepped into that
void to provide institutions with tailored digital transformation
plans that will enable them to provide digital access to a wide
variety of services, while tapping into stored information in order
to gain valuable insight and analysis into the ambitions,
expectations, and evolving demands of their students. Once an
institution's needs and goals are clearly assessed, Alithya experts
tailor specific solutions to address those needs by harnessing the
power of Student/Institutional CRM, cloud-based Student Information
Systems (SIS), Cloud ERP, and more. Capitalizing on years of
experience in integrating the core architectural elements of
organizations, and in aligning those elements with their business
objectives and end-user needs, Alithya's Higher Education practice
injects value-added expertise into projects to assist institutions
in overcoming the unique challenges of their digital
transformations.
