Dear Esteemed Leaders and Visionaries,

Greetings of health and prosperity to each of you. In drafting a communiqué for the Research Innovation Division (RID) at the Higher Education Commission (HEC) as requested by our beacon of excellence, KICS at UET Lahore, a moment of reflection was prompted. This reflection is not just on our path but on the shared odyssey that has brought us to where we stand today. A detailed narrative of this journey has been shared with the RID, which echoes our collective strides and milestones.

From the year of our establishment in 2006, we embarked on a voyage through daunting challenges, among which were the towering costs and complexities of adapting global solutions such as PeopleSoft, SAP, and MS Dynamics to our local context. Our voyage was beset with trials – from reliance on international suppliers to the intricacies of foreign exchange and a palpable absence of localized technical support. In these times, it was your unwavering leadership that shone as a lighthouse, guiding us towards innovation and self-reliance. It is with heartfelt gratitude we recall the groundbreaking work of Dr. Prof. Waqar Mahmood and Prof. Dr. Ali Moud at KICS, UET Lahore, who envisioned and birthed a tailored solution that catered uniquely to our needs within the global ERP framework.

Our mission burgeoned between 2016 and 2019, facing complex challenges head-on, from accreditation and standardization to the critical need for automation in a world rocked by global disruptions. Our engagement extended into the corporate realm with partners like The Resource Group (TRG) in Lahore, navigating the peculiarities of financial models in the face of Pakistan’s Higher Education Institutions’ realities. It was during this era that the wisdom of Prof. Dr. Muhammad Ali Moud and Prof. Dr. Waqar became our guiding star, helping us overcome the initial obstacles of 2006. Dr. Fazal Ahmad Khalid’s visionary leadership was instrumental in weaving Outcome-Based Education (OBE) into our fabric, enhancing our administrative modules, and steering us through the commercialization journey in the public sector. This endeavor culminated in the successful launch of Campus Solution 360 under Dr. Mansoor’s leadership, marking a step towards the sustainable future we aspire to.

The year 2020 was a watershed moment, catalyzed by a transformative request from Dr. Nasir Mahmood Khan, Prof. Dr. Fazal, and Prof. Dr. Waqar Mahmood, leading us to fully automate the accreditation process. This effort not only polished Campus Solution 360 to meet the stringent standards of the PEC and the Washington Accord but also set the stage for an integrated ERP system that would underpin our national educational and technological ambitions.
