SAP
The University uses SAP to provide the infrastructure for all its business, such as finance, purchasing, human resources and student management.
Innovative applications of SAP, devised here at Newcastle, include:
- Student Self Service (S3P) – which allows students to register prior to arrival, and to help manage academic progress once students arrive at the University.
- Postgraduate applicant portal – which enables postgraduate applications to be managed completely online – exceptionally useful in the global academic world.
- MyWorkPlace Portal – this includes online expenses, a system which has brought simpler – and much more timely – expense payments, Business Warehouse reporting (used to run reports quickly using SAP data) and an Inbox which is used to process postgraduate applications and approve expense claims.
