The e-Enabled Institution

Where has your Institution reached on the e-enablement time line? Are you looking to install a new cash receipting system? Or are you planning to implement an e-payments capability to supplement your existing system? Or are you still using a manual receipting process and looking for ways to improve? Is your procurement process still manual or are you planning to e-enable your current purchasing system?
Wherever you are on the road to e-enablement, Radius can show you how to move towards providing, integrated cross-cutting solutions for all your income collection and e-procurement needs.

 
Seminar

Come and join Radius at either Twickenham Rugby Ground or Manchester United Football Club for one of our seminars and allow us to introduce you to the Radius family of e-solutions. The first part of the seminar introduces RadiusICON, the fully integrated electronic income management system. For example, envisage a fully integrated system managing income across multi-collection channels operating in a 24/7 environment using the Internet, Intranet and telephone systems, allowing secure managed payments from anywhere in the world at any time of the day. A system, using embedded components to “payment enable” your current and future web applications and systems. A system, allowing interfacing of payments data to and from your in-house systems, importing bank statements and automatically reconciling against payment transactions. Seems impossible? RadiusICON can deliver all this today.

The e-procurement market is dramatically impacting the way organisations do business with each other. Higher and Further Education Establishments are now looking to implement e-procurement solutions, with the aim of reducing costs and increasing efficiency. However, a stand-alone e-procurement solution can create just as many problems as it solves. What is required is an e-procurement system that also integrates with the Institution’s financials system. In the second part of the seminar we will introduce Radius Financials Purchasing (RFP) our intuitive web-based procurement solution. RFP uses Internet technology to enable your staff to order goods and services and track information directly from their desktops, whilst providing updating of commitments, validation of financial postings, checking of budgets and much more through seamless interfaces with your financial systems. RFP provides an electronic trading environment to enable you to purchase from your suppliers at the touch of a button. The cost of procurement is reduced, you have better control over the process, administration is dramatically reduced and you have more time to make better buying decisions.

10.35
  Streamlining Your Cash Receipting Operation
Despite the advent of the Internet, telephone and other remote payment systems, for many Educational Establishments there is still a need for both face-to-face, over the counter cash receipting and powerful back office processing. In this session see how the features of RadiusICON, the leading cash receipting system, can streamline your income collection operations.
10.45
  Providing 24/7 Payment Services via The Internet and Telephone System
In this session we will show how by employing the RadiusICON Internet and Automated Telephone Payments modules you can enable 24/7 operations allowing secure managed payments from anywhere in the world at any time of the day.
10:55
  Maximising the Intranet to Deploy On-Line Receipting
Using standard RadiusICON Intranet payments modules we will demonstrate how you can enable on-line card payments to be taken by any member of staff anywhere in the organisation in environments ranging from individual departments to dedicated call centres.

We will demonstrate how you can integrate e-payments into your web applications and existing systems using our advanced component toolkits.

Agenda e-Procurement
11:50
  The Need for e-Procurement
As Institutions seek to meet the challenges of e-commerce they will find that an integrated e-procurement solution will be a cornerstone of their strategy. In this session we will share our extensive e-procurement knowledge identifying and analysing the need for e-procurement.
12:05
  The Benefits of e-Procurement
Let us show you the internal and external economies that are available through the use of an integrated e-procurement solution, illustrated by the real benefits that have been gained by our Public Sector customer base.
12:20
  Selecting the e-Procurement Approach
In this session we plan to de-mystify some of the terminology and provide valuable information on the many different e-procurement channels available, analysing the advantages and disadvantages of each.

12:35

  Enabling Your Suppliers
One of the major stumbling blocks to implementing e-procurement is managing the Supplier e-interface. We will show how your Institution can evolve into e-procurement with your existing and new suppliers, instead of having to enter into a revolution.
12.50
  Market Places and Punch-out
As e-procurement in the Public Sector develops the use of Market Places and the ability to “Punch-out” to them is fast becoming a vital part of the overall solution. In this session we will explore Market Places and how “Buy Side” e-procurement solutions can connect to them and exploit the economies of scale available without losing control of the purchasing process.
13.10
