Takoradi Polytechnic develops software for industrial liaison unit

Takoradi, June 19, GNA - The Takoradi Polytechnic Industrial Liaison Office has adopted a software platform to help the department strengthen its database and monitor its relationship and with stakeholders.

The software (T’poly Industrial Liaison Portal) developed by TPCONNECT – an in-house research team, has also been tasked to undertake projects aimed at using information technology to aid in meeting the objectives of the polytechnic.

Mr Kow Panyin Nketsia-Richard, Polytechnic Relations Officers told Ghana News Agency that steps are being taken to make the polytechnic business processes more effective and efficient.

He said the team has been undertaking feasibility studies and gathering inputs from various stakeholders and departmental units to have a very robust database for the school.

Mr Timothy Simpson, Project Manager, said the system could be accessed online and via the Takoradi Polytechnic main website adding: “Students can now be able to obtain and print their attachment letters online.”

The new system according to him has the ability to generate several reports. It could sort out students by name, location, company, programme and department as well as any other report when needed.

Mr Simpson said the online portal would be maintained by the ICT Services Department, adding that the system could be customised for any institution upon request.

“We have plans of having an intranet platform (internal network) where students, lecturers, administrative staff and unit heads can have access to the Polytechnic Online Services based on their access rights and level of responsibility,” he said.

The student portal could be accessed via the website link: .liaison.tpoly.edu.gh.
