Mastek Limited informed that Durham University, UK, one of the global top 100 universities, has chosen Evosys, a leading Oracle Cloud Partner, for its Oracle E-Business Suite (EBS) to Oracle Cloud Migration Journey.

With this agreement, Evosys, a Mastek company, will deliver Oracle ERP and SCM solutions (Cloud Financials, SCM, EPM, and Integration) to Durham University to assist them in implementing an agile system that allows better management of cost centres, general ledger & analysis codes, automatic posting rules, a better control system, improved reporting, and the development of their people in analytical and digital skills.

This will enable the University to streamline and digitise its user experience, improving overall efficiency and enabling better budget planning and forecasting capabilities.

The University’s facilities are spread across 17 colleges and four faculties as part of the prestigious Russell Group. Their current system consists of a traditional Oracle 11i database and a third-party eProcurement solution.

For transactional processing and reporting, 11i was unsupported and required extensive manual intervention. Catering to approximately 20,000 students, 1,830 academic staff, and 2,640 administrative staff was, therefore, a massive challenge for the company.

Durham University chose Evosys, a Mastek company, for several reasons, including its experience across 86+ public organizations, a collaborative approach, their Center of Excellence team, and accelerators that specialize in higher education, stated company in media reports.

At around 3.00 PM, Mastek was trading at Rs2,003.95 per piece, up by 0.41% from its previous closing of Rs1,995.80 on the BSE. The scrip touched intraday high and low of Rs2,033.05 and Rs1,975 respectively.
