David Howell - CEO, MetFilm School
MetFilm School's mission is to inspire the next generation of screen professionals. In my new role as CEO of MetFilm School, my aspirations are to take MetFilm School through the new regulatory framework from the OfS and to continue to build a fantastic product, a fantastic course for students at MetFilm School.
With Ellucian Quercus, we are looking at several different areas. The first is regulatory returns. Second is to improve our data capabilities and our data competencies. Third is to work with our students to improve the service with our students. And fourth is to become digitally transformed.
In terms of delivering our goals, with Quercus being a SaaS product it works out of the box. It's hosted. As CEO, I don't need to worry about servers. I don't need to worry about updates. I don't need upgrades. It's all taken care of by Quercus and the people at Ellucian.
Quercus will help us by being a single source of truth from application through to alumni, including working with UCAS, connecting with the SLC and helping with our regulatory returns. It's one solution for the whole of the student journey.
