University of the West of England (UWE) chooses Tribal’s student management and admissions software
Tribal has been awarded a significant new contract to provide The University of the West of England (UWE) with a new enquiries and admissions system. The contract is supported by a five year maintenance and service package.
[UKPRwire, Tue Sep 19 2006] Based in Bristol, UWE is the largest higher education provider in the South West, with around 30,000 students and 3,000 staff.
Tribal’s SITS:Vision software will allow UWE to improve the service delivery of the admissions and international recruitment department. Potential students will be able to enquire on-line via a specially designed web portal, known as e-Vision.
The system will enable the management of the admissions process including scheduling of interviews, visits and open-days, marketing and enquiries via the web. This solution is designed to enhance UWE’s customer relationship management process by improving management of the university’s course enquiries, direct applications and UCAS applications for both home and overseas students.
Staff will be able to access up-to-the minute information through a secure login providing them with access to information relevant to their own role in the university.
Steve Hope, software sales director at Tribal, comments: “UWE is a prestigious and exciting new client for Tribal – UWE’s values of providing a high-quality, student experience together with innovative collaboration with industry and research
excellence fit well with the Tribal ethos, and it is hoped that this contract will be the first of many opportunities to work together.”
Tribal’s enquiry and admissions system, combined with e-Vision, a self-service web portal, are currently used by over 60 per cent of the UK higher education market including the University of York, University of Bristol, University of Bath, University College London and University of Warwick, along with a key number of Scottish further education sites including the UHI Millennium Institute.
