Russian software solution for universities

The article by Ilya Vladimirovich, Consist Business Group expert and TURBO Product Director, is devoted to the IT product TURBO University. The solution was developed by a consortium of developers: ProfItProject, Consist Business Group and MPEI University.

Advantages of TURBO

The key activity of Consist Business Group (part of LANIT Group) is the development of the domestic TURBO software platform and circulation solutions based on it for complex business automation. The basis of the range is the TURBO X platform, which has been actively developed by Russian developers since 1991. Currently, ready-made corporate information management systems in the categories of ERP, EAM, EPM and others, as well as more than 30 industry partner developments are successfully operating on this platform.

TURBO architecture provides openness of application solutions, high functionality, flexibility and scalability. Thanks to this, the platform is successfully used in various industries and spheres - from industry to transport, from healthcare to education.

TURBO University

TURBO University solution allows building a harmonious and efficient system of university management at all levels. The set of balanced indicators to assess the performance of research, educational and international activities was formed on the basis of the European Foundation for Quality Management (EFQM) Business Excellence Model, adapted to the specifics of higher education institutions.

TURBO University allows managers to address a number of challenges:
  • Manage the efficiency of the whole HEI. The solution has a set of tools that allow for comparative analysis of university performance based on the data from the monitoring of the efficiency of organisations conducted under the auspices of the Ministry of Education and Science of the Russian Federation, including the indicators of the Priority-2030 programme.
  • Manage the performance of a particular unit. The solution allows tracking and evaluating the completeness and timeliness of the implementation of programmes and projects for the integrated development of subdivisions.
  • Manage employee incentives through monitoring and evaluating the performance of administrative and management staff, scientific and pedagogical staff and institute directors in accordance with the incentive system.
  • Manage the university's activities by treating them as projects, taking into account all stages - from planning to implementation, as well as evaluating the results.

Consortium of developers

Such a difficult task was solved thanks to the co-operation of professionals from Consist Business Group, National Research University ‘MPEI’ (National Research University ‘MPEI’) and ProfItProject.

Currently, Consist Business Group is actively cooperating with universities to expand their educational programmes with TURBO expertise, which will contribute to the creation of new technological solutions. Remote internships for graduates and senior university students are also aimed at the same. All programmes are completely free of charge and take into account the interests of each party. With their help, the company trains entry-level specialists and replenishes the staff of the development department with the best interns, who, in turn, gain knowledge and practical skills of working in conditions close to real processes.
