Configuration
We provide over 70 preconfigured processes and automations across all functional areas, giving you a powerful foundation that meets key industry standards. With our Higher Education Model, you can bypass the time-consuming task of building core processes from scratch. Instead, you’ll have the flexibility to tailor and enhance them to fit your unique business needs—minimising risk, streamlining implementation, and accelerating your path to success.
Sector Knowledge
With deep roots in the UK and Canadian Higher Education sectors, we combine the extensive experience of our Thesis colleagues with the ever-evolving needs of our valued clients. This means you can have complete confidence that the HEM is built to meet your institution’s unique requirements, backed by our in-depth industry expertise and a commitment to delivering solutions that truly work for you.
Fit Analysis
We go the extra mile with a comprehensive Fit Analysis before implementation even begins. This ensures you have a clear understanding of the powerful capabilities of Thesis SM, the content included in the HEM, and the specific deliverables you can expect throughout the process. With complete transparency from the start, we set the stage for a smooth and successful implementation tailored to your institution’s needs.
Iterative Implementation
We use an iterative implementation methodology, with integrated quality assurance measures, to guide you through each area of the Higher Education Model — from Curriculum, Admissions, Registry and Student Management, to Student Finance, and Assessments Progression and Classification. This approach ensures a seamless implementation process, delivering quicker time to value and upholding the highest standards necessary for a successful go-live. With us, you can be confident that every step is designed for efficiency and excellence.
Data Migration
We ensure data migration is a seamless, integrated part of our implementation process, working hand in hand with configuration and training in an iterative approach. Unlike a last-minute rush, our method ensures that data migration is carefully developed throughout the project, giving you confidence in its accuracy and reliability. This also allows you to test your setup using real-life data, ensuring everything is fully aligned and ready for a smooth go-live.
Model Data Set
From day one, we provide a comprehensive Model Data Set, showcasing a diverse range of curricula, applicants, and student scenarios. This invaluable resource is accessible to key users throughout implementation, streamlining the process and enhancing training. By working with real-world examples, your team gains a deeper understanding of the system, ensuring they can confidently and effectively utilise its full capabilities.
Training
We seamlessly integrate training into every stage of the implementation process, ensuring your team gains hands-on experience as they go. This approach empowers key users to build their expertise in both system configuration and functional use, leading to a smoother implementation and greater confidence in maximizing the system’s full potential.
Testing
We conduct testing with you iteratively throughout the implementation process, aligning with each stage of the Higher Education Model. This approach allows us to thoroughly test configurations using real-world data at every step. By identifying and addressing any necessary changes early on, we ensure a smoother, more efficient process, making adjustments as we go rather than waiting until the final testing phase.
