Our students and lifelong learners find NUS' suite of CET courses useful. At SCALE, we foresee a surge in demand. Can your system cope?
No problem, our flexible on-premise infrastructure has cloud-like agility and it can scale swiftly, like within an hour. It's also green-certified, utilises less power and requires less cooling!

Tom graduates with honours after 4 years in NUS. During his commencement, President of NUS reiterated the importance of lifelong learning and let all the graduating students know that they have access to NextGeneSIS.He secured a job at Google US and will be travelling there a month later. He searched for fellow NUS alumni who is currently or has worked in Google US using uNivUS-conNectUS
He found an alumni, Martin, in NUS metaverse who's worked at Google US previously. Tom was happy to be able to seek advice from a senior who could help him settle down in a new environment!
As an alumni residing overseas, Tom keeps in touch with NUS by reading news from uNivUs. He is also able to connect with his fellow coursemates regularly on NUS Metaverse and conNectUS discussion forum. One of Tom's senior has offered to mentor him at work and they connect regularly via NUS Metaverse.
Tom keeps his skills updated through uNivUS and attending online NUS courses. Career+ recommends courses to Tom as he takes on a bigger role at Google. He pays for his course fees using his e-wallet and has even obtained a Micro Masters degree.

Admin extracting data
Oh, quite easy! I'll be extracting the data from Learner Cross-Lifecycle CRM and send out the email, it'll be a piece of cake. And the message will appear in prospects' uNivUS inbox automatically!
Hey Nadia! Saw that NUS President announced a new interdisciplinary Masters programme. How are you going to let our alumni know?
Prof + staff talking about how DevSecOps facilitates learning
Hey John, you and your IT team have done an awesome job with the application to support the pedagogy of a newly introduced Masters programme! And it only took NUS IT 4 weeks to integrate with the rest of student systems?
With DevSecOps, our systems are integrated and secured and it can be rolled out in a much shorter time!
Thanks to NUS IT, Digital Enablement workshops, I am now able to use application quickly and make use of new data to do further analysis! I'm no longer afraid of technology.
Initiative- student workforce
I understand there is a Student Workers Programme initiated by NUS IT! They engage our own NUS students to work on innovative technology and create new solutions that would make a difference to our campus. You can enrol in it and have the best experiential learning while being paid as you are now part of the NUS IT team!
Hi Prof Tan! I'm enjoying school and have some time to spare to learn more about IT! In fact it'll be great if I could earn while I learn! Where do I start?
NextGeneSIS
Oh hey Harry! It's basically a smart, personalised companion app to support all activities of NUS learners from prospect to student to alumni and lifelong learner. Think of it as a one-stop-shop for ALL relevant e-services, for life! Plus, it also increases productivity of administrators with the automation and digital tools!
Hey John, how's it going? I know you're working with your team on NextGeneSIS? What is it exactly?
NextGeneSIS

He shared his research data to his overseas collaborators through our secured network and initiated a meeting through NUS Metaverse to discuss results.
Hey guys! I know it's night there in US, but I just sent over my research findings over the secure network and was hoping to discuss it here in Metaverse. The file is very big, but I can see that you've received it within seconds and you're already reviewing it.
