Administrative Computing

As institutions seek to provide more web services, integrating ERP with key academic and library solutions has taken on great importance. The result is what we're calling the "Digital Campus," and ERP is emerging as its hub.

Additionally, Sun has taken a leading role in supporting open standards and working with education industry solution vendors and the higher education community to jointly develop key technological initiatives and directions.

Sun's leading edge solutions and services power the world's best ERP and Student Information Systems. Sun's solutions combined with "best-of-breed" administrative applications enable universities around the world to implement reliable services to all campus users -- at the click of a mouse, anywhere, anytime and on any device.
