Accenture to Provide IT Services for TAFE Queensland, Australia, under New Two-Year Agreement
Accenture
(NYSE: ACN) has marked a 10-year relationship with the Department of
Education, Training and Employment through a renewal of its business,
application and infrastructure support services arrangement for the
Technical and Further Education (TAFE) student solution in Queensland,
Australia.
Accenture has provided business services to support the TAFE Queensland
Institutes Student Administrative System (ISAS) since 2002. These
services have included business consulting, systems integration,
application support and maintenance, as well as IT infrastructure
support. Under a new two-year agreement Accenture will continue
providing critical support services for the core student solution across
the state.
The ISAS solution provides a centralized, end-to-end student
administration solution for more than 80 TAFE campuses across
Queensland, providing more than 250,000 students annually with access to
their records and numerous services, such as enrollment, self-service
for academic records and payment of accounts. The solution processes
more than 1.6 million enrollment transactions and issues 80,000 awards
and certificates per year.
Dean Sedgman from the Department stated, “Accenture has proven itself to
be a reliable and valued provider of services to us and, with the latest
arrangement, both of our organizations will continue to focus on
improving the student experience across the state by providing a
solution that meets the challenges of our environment.”
“This is one of the largest solutions of its kind in the Southern
Hemisphere, and demonstrates the value of working with the Department on
a common goal to help meet the changing needs of TAFE students and
education administrators across Queensland,” said Paul Chapman, who
leads Accenture’s work on the program.
