CAMS® Enterprise to Power Hult International Business School's Growth With New ERP System

Online, January 11, 2011 (Newswire.com) - Hult International Business School, one of the top-20 business schools in the United States, has chosen CAMS Enterprise®, flagship product of Three Rivers Systems Inc., as its new academic enterprise resource planning system to manage its entire student lifecycle.

Formerly known as Arthur D. Little School of Management, Hult International Business School attracts some of the world's most successful business leaders. It offers a range of business-focused programs including MBA, Master and Undergraduate degrees. In response to student demand, Hult added to its original Boston base, campuses in Shanghai and London in 2007, followed by Dubai in 2008 and San Francisco in 2010.

It is the first global business school with operations in the world's leading economic centers and its unique Global Rotation Program allows students to pursue electives in the latter part of their academic year at any of Hult's five campuses. The school ranks in the top 1 percent of business schools according to the Financial Times' and The Economist' MBA school rankings published in 2010.

According to Hult's Chief Information Officer Yousuf Khan, CAMS Enterprise provides a very strong offering with an all Web-based ERP built around a single, integrated database. "With campuses around the globe, the growth we have experienced in our student numbers and accompanying data demanded the kind of immediate access and integration that only comes with a robust system like CAMS Enterprise. With CAMS we can apply our resources to hiring world-class faculty to guarantee the best-possible outcomes for our graduates," Khan said.

Hult offers a blend of academics and practitioners including professors from the most-renowned universities in the world along with successful entrepreneurs. Distinguished and at the forefront of the business world, Hult's faculty members take pride in imparting passion and expertise to students.

CAMS Enterprise is a fully integrated, 100-percent Web-native campus administrative ERP software system exclusively for higher education built around a single database with one set of shared code. CAMS includes a host of advanced automated features - CRM, registration, financial aid, billing, fundraising, portals, built-in course management and more - to manage the student lifecycle from admissions to alumni status for the smallest colleges or largest universities. It is a single solution that eliminates the need for academic institutions and end users alike to learn, interface and manage multiple, patchwork and often-incompatible systems.

Created with standardized Microsoft tools, CAMS Enterprise is a seamless academic ERP written from the ground up as a single solution. Institutions like Hult that implement CAMS' with its proven rapid implementation process quickly transition to the new system and enjoy greater accessibility, better automation, improved communication and deeper business intelligence.

Its Microsoft-based Web architecture makes CAMS easy to use, and its total integration around a single, secure MS SQL database, means Three Rivers Systems' clients realize huge savings in maintenance and upgrade costs while also enjoying much greater productivity.

Amir Tajkarimi, company president and founder of Three Rivers Systems Inc., said Hult International Business School made a wise choice. "When a prestigious business school of this stature chooses our ERP solution over all others, we feel as if this is double endorsement of our product. It's always a pleasure and honor to put our 25 years of experience in delivering safe solutions with predictable total cost of ownership to work for the best," he said.
