About MUST

Since its establishment in 1996, Misr University for Science & Technology (MUST) has been a pioneer in private education in Egypt. With over 20,000 students, the university is celebrated for its commitment to academic innovation and sustainability. However, as enrollment grew, the university faced operational bottlenecks that limited its ability to provide seamless educational services.

Challenges in Education Management

  • Paper-Based Student Records
    Managing an ever-expanding archive of student files became increasingly inefficient, delaying processes like admissions, registration, and grade management. Staff documents and HR files added another layer of complexity.
  • Departmental Silos
    Fragmented systems led to miscommunication, duplicating efforts and causing delays in decision-making.
  • Manual Workflows
    Outdated workflows held down essential operations like course registration and specialization requests.
  • Integration Challenges
    The lack of a unified content management system made it difficult to track and share critical information across departments.

The Solution

MUST chose ASSET Technology Group to revolutionize its approach with a powerful digital transformation solution. Leveraging OpenText Extended ECM Platform, the solution seamlessly integrated with MUST’s Ellucian Banner system, creating a unified hub for managing both structured and unstructured content.

Key Solution Features: 

  • Centralized Content hub:
    All student records and administrative files were digitized into a unified system for streamlined access.
  • Workflow Automation:

  • Custom Integration:
    REST APIs enabled seamless communication between ECM and Ellucian Banner, ensuring a single source of truth for academic operations.
