The Customer: 

Asia e University

Asia e University (AeU) is a leading Open and Distance Learning (ODL) university in Malaysia, and one of the premier ODL institutions in Asia. With nearly 30,000 students around the world across 80 countries, AeU has a stated mission to remove barriers that limit access to higher education, making it more accessible, affordable, and beneficial for learners everywhere.

The Problem

Previously, AeU used a traditional approach when it came to paper-based records and applications to track leave entitlements of staff. When looking for a new HRMS, the key leadership team at AeU had several key criteria, including:

User-friendly UI & UX

For an organisation in the education industry, it was pivotal for the HRMS to be easy to use for all employees, without compromising on reliability, security, and power.

Safety, Convenience and Accuracy

It was crucial to find a platform that could handle sensitive information, including leave entitlements, employee information, and others, with accuracy, reliability, and convenience.

“Our previous open source system had limited functions and features. Those features were very basic — we weren’t able to customise or personalise them at all. With altHR, we really appreciate the resources to help.”
