Developing these pillars will allow USIM to pave its way towards a more seamless digital learning experience and improve its student experience processes. This includes online examinations, IT integration, security of sensitive data and intellectual property, smart solutions on campus, and end-to-end mobility solutions. Most importantly, this partnership will enable a more collaborative learning approach between USIM’s faculty and students, aligning the university to the needs of today’s global learners.

Through this partnership, we aim to tap into the extensive expertise of TM’s One solutions, services and professional insights to strengthen our technological and IT talent capabilities as we address the evolving needs of digital education. This collaboration comes at a timely and necessary stage of our development and will allow us to springboard to the next phase of our role in empowering future leaders and game-changers.”
Drawing on its broad range of solutions, TM One will support USIM’s digital transformation plan in five (5) different clusters; Smart Governance, Smart Infrastructure, Smart Services, Smart Learning and Smart Lifestyle.
Shazurawati said, “We are excited to be a part of USIM’s smart transformation journey and to work alongside them in reshaping their digital capabilities. Universities are at a critical turning point where they must embrace digitalisation or risk being left behind. Aligning to the needs of IR4.0, smart and innovative transformation will enable USIM to compete not only locally but in the global arena of today’s digital higher education ecosystems. Through this partnership, we will support USIM’s transformation journey through the latest and most secure digital solutions and infrastructure. Solutions such as cybersecurity, smart services, and mobility will enhance the digital capabilities of the institution, improving its teaching and learning, research administration, and student services.”
