Case Study: University of Waterloo achieves a secure, mobile-friendly student information system with PeopleUX

‘PeopleUX-Enabled’ Mobilized Information System Gets an A+ from Students

The University of Waterloo, a top innovation university with over 36,000 students, faced a significant challenge with its clunky and difficult-to-use student information system, which lacked proper mobile functionality. To meet student demand for on-the-go access and uphold its commitment to innovation, the university sought a solution to modernize the system and make it mobile-friendly. They selected the PeopleUX platform to address their needs for improved usability, security, and a branded interface.

By implementing PeopleUX, the university mobilized nearly 90 PeopleSoft pages within six months without requiring new infrastructure. The solution provided a secure, branded, and highly usable mobile interface, enabling students and applicants to perform critical tasks like managing courses and viewing grades from their devices. The deployment was an instant success, resulting in highly productive student and applicant engagement with the new modern system.
