Efficiency and automation
Other behind-the-scenes improvements included the roll-out of the TimeEdit Building Management System in Singapore. Among many other benefits, this tool enables quick-and-easy room booking right up to the last minute and optimises air conditioning accordingly. All teaching spaces now have QR codes, which enable staff and students to view availability and help Campus Services teams to plan their schedules in real time.
Not only does TimeEdit prevent human error and reduce the need for maintenance checks, it also saves paper and reduces power consumption significantly.
We also launched a new intranet called One INSEAD, designed and managed by the Communications team. This soon became a vital strategic tool for keeping employees in the four corners of the globe connected and informed, especially as the majority continued to work from home during 2020/2021.
Throughout the year, the IT team expanded the use of digital workflows and automation across the school. Among the processes that are now easier, more efficient and more accurate are confirming places on programmes, signing contracts, and paying fees. Finally, one vital innovation on the Europe Campus was the launch of the Green Light app for Degree Programme students, to help manage Covid-19 reporting and contact tracing.
