Migration of MKU ICT System to enhance digital transformation
As we are all aware, the University was recently competitively appointed to chair the United Nations SDG9, HUB (Industry, Innovation and Infrastructure). The University also aspires to be a leader in University Digital Transformation.
Migration of MKU ICT System from the Student Management Information System (SMIS) To University Integrated Resource Platform (UNIRP)
In view of the above, the University is reinvigorating its Digital Transformation agenda by implementing an Edu-Tech solution in partnership with Marwadi Technologies of India. As a result of this partnership, the University will migrate from the Students Management Information System (SMIS), ERP and “My.MKU” to the more unified University Integrated Resource Platform (UnIRP). The key features of UnIRP includes:
- Seamless integration of SMIS, ERP and CRM modules
- Automated workflows for student management, finance and administration
- Real-time data access and reporting
- Improved user experience for students, faculty and staff
The University Integrated Resource Platform (UnIRP) has been successfully implemented by other universities and institutions of higher learning. They include: Marwadi University, National Forensic Sciences University, Dr. Subhash University, Chandigarh Group of Colleges, Swaminarayan University, Vidhyadeep University, Gujarat Biotechnology University, Gokul Global University, Varohaman College of Engineering and Shreeyash Pratishthan Mission Education among others.
The migration process will commence on 15th February, 2025 in a phased approach guided by an ICT steering Committee. During the transition period, the old system will run concurrently with the new system until it is fully phased out. Whereas we expect seamless transition, in the unlikely event of challenges, contact our dedicated team of experienced staff through unirpenquiries@mku.ac.ke.
In conclusion, we are appealing to yourselves as university key stakeholders to support the transition process.
