In the fast-paced world of higher education, universities are constantly looking for ways to improve efficiency and streamline their operations. One area that often presents challenges is the management of agent commissions, especially as universities expand their international recruitment efforts. SAMS Pay offers a solution that not only addresses these challenges but does so with minimal disruption to existing workflows. As a standalone solution, SAMS Pay is designed for easy implementation, reducing the need for extensive involvement from university IT teams. Moreover, it offers the flexibility to integrate with existing student management systems like Banner, SITS, and Agresso (Unit 4), if needed.
Standalone Solution with Full Support: Minimising IT Involvement
One of the key benefits of SAMS Pay is its standalone nature. Unlike many software solutions that require significant integration and configuration by in-house IT teams, SAMS Pay is ready to use right out of the box. This ease of implementation is a significant advantage for universities, where IT resources are often stretched thin with various projects and day-to-day operations.
When a university adopts SAMS Pay, the need for extensive IT support is drastically reduced. The software is designed to be user-friendly and intuitive, allowing international office teams to get up and running quickly without needing to rely on IT experts. This not only saves time but also ensures that the transition to using SAMS Pay is smooth and hassle-free.
In addition to its ease of use, SAMS Pay is offered with full support from the SAMS Pay team. This means that universities can rely on dedicated assistance for setup, troubleshooting, and ongoing maintenance, further reducing the burden on their internal IT departments. Whether it’s a simple question about functionality or a more complex issue, the SAMS Pay support team is readily available to provide guidance and solutions.
Seamless Integration with Banner, SITS, Agresso (Unit 4), and More
While SAMS Pay functions perfectly as a standalone solution, it also offers the flexibility to integrate with a university’s existing systems if needed. Many universities use complex student management systems like Banner or SITS to handle all aspects of student data and administration. SAMS Pay can be integrated with these systems, ensuring that all relevant data flows seamlessly between platforms.
For universities that also use Agresso (Unit 4) for financial management, SAMS Pay can be connected to this system as well. This integration allows for a streamlined process where commission payments and financial records are automatically updated and synchronised across systems. The University of Essex are looking to have SAMS Pay integrate with Unit 4 to trigger PO requests as soon as a claim has been approved. By integrating SAMS Pay with these existing platforms, universities can ensure that all aspects of commission management, from calculation to payment, are handled efficiently and accurately.
This flexibility makes SAMS Pay an ideal solution for universities with diverse technological ecosystems. Whether a university prefers to use SAMS Pay as a standalone tool or integrate it with their current software, the transition is straightforward and supported every step of the way.
