Development and institutionalisation ARIS was almost a paradigm shift as far as academics records management in Tanzania were concerned.
A press statement issued by the UCC in Dar es Salaam said for the first time in the history of UDSM and the country at large, ARIS has enabled automation of the admission process through the software.
According to the statement, the software went on by enabling automation of room allocations to students in halls of residence. It also facilitated examination results processing from continuous assessment to University Examination processing to transcript issuance.
This has significantly not only reduced operational costs in terms of stationeries and time but has also improved efficiency and increased transparency.
ARIS is as of now being used by Ardhi University, Institute of Social Welfare, University of Dodoma, Mzumbe University and UDSM. The statement noted another key development achievement as development of PMO-RALG Planning and Report (PlanRep) system.
PlanRep System is software developed by UCC for handling the planning and reporting activities under the Prime Minister’s Office – rural administration and local government (PMO-RALG).
The system is currently being used by all district councils in Tanzania and it provides inputs to the strategic budget allocation system (SBAS) also developed by UDSM through UCC for preparation of the national budget under the Ministry of Finance.
“This software has a huge impact at a national level whereby it has improved efficiency, consistency, uniformity and transparency in the planning of activities and report on the implementation of the panned activities countrywide,” the statement said.
The last achievement is development of the TCU Central Admission System (CAS) Central admission system (CAS) under Tanzania Commission for University (TCU) is a system which was developed by UDSM through UCC for TCU for admission of applicants into public and private higher learning institutions.
The impact of CAS is quite enormous at national as well as individual levels especially on reducing costs and improving efficiency.
The system has also eliminated the possibilities of forgeries on O-Level and A-Level examination results.
Historically, UCC started providing ICT services to the University as an autonomous entity in 1980.
However, as a result of business expansion and growth in its service provision capability, UCC was transformed in 2001 into a fully fledged ICT business of UDSM managing the university’s state-of-the-art ICT infrastructure including training facilities with video conferencing, e-learning and fast wireless internet as well as other support technologies.
As industry leader in terms of technical capability and with a broad range of ICT products and services, the centre plays a crucial role in supplying the ICT market with world class ICT solutions.
UCC values are drawn from the long-established UDSM’s commitment to quality assurance and desire to impel Tanzania to socio economic advancement in the 21st Century.
