Solutions We’re Showcasing
Higher education leaders face pressure to reduce costs, improve efficiency, and engage a new generation of students. Astute helps you solve these challenges with GenAI.
GenAI Student Chatbot

Draft Contracts with AI
Your ERP already manages procurement and vendor records, but contract processes are often manual, slow, and risky. AstuteCLM integrates with PeopleSoft, Banner, EBS, and JD Edwards to streamline contract intake, analyze clauses with GenAI, and track compliance automatically. Institutions gain faster faculty and vendor contract approvals, reduced risk exposure, and more reliable governance, making the ERP a smarter engine for institutional agreements.

Automate Invoices with AI
Your ERP already manages invoices, but finance teams still spend hours on manual entry, validation, and chasing approvals. AstuteAP integrates directly with PeopleSoft, Banner, EBS, and JD Edwards to automate these steps. Institutions reduce errors, strengthen compliance with grants and budgets, and free finance staff from repetitive tasks, making the ERP work smarter without replacing it.
