Non-resident Keralite's firm develops new campus software

Thiruvananthapuram, August 04 : Keralite businessman's firm has developed a new software which can, with the click of a mouse, handle all activities in an educational institution, including admissions and fees, and is being sought by several universities in India and abroad.

Aniyan Kutty's Dimensions Cyber Technologies, based at the Technopark here, developed the software - Campus (Java version) - after nearly three years of efforts.

 The company says it has new business prospects in the Middle East, Australia and several universities in the country.

The Mumbai-based Institute of Technology Management (ITM), the Indian Institute of Management at Kozhikode and Punjab University are using this new software.

"The biggest advantage in using our software is that it brings in together the entire campus management beginning from admissions, fees, muster roll, attendances, library, mark list, canteen, hostel and even alumni," said Ashish Srivastava, technical head of Dimensions Cyber Technologies.

The firm is part of the $100 million Trinity Group headquartered in Dubai promoted by Kutty.

"Our latest product is an extension of our earlier venture done in Visual Basic which is currently used in 20 educational institutions in Kerala. We are now targeting universities because all educational institutions attached to the university can be linked. The ITM in Mumbai has six campuses across the country and they are enjoying the benefits of our programme by managing their affairs sitting in one place," said Damodaran Nampoothiri, vice-president finance of Dimensions.

Dimensions has offices across the US, Asia, Asia Pacific, Europe and the Middle East.

"We have so far invested Rs.60 million ($1.3 million) here and we are now expecting to touch a turnover of Rs.800 million in the next two years because of the huge list of prospective clients who have contacted us from across the globe," said Srivastava.  (IANS)
