World Headlines PH | MELBOURNE, July 16, 2025 — Infosys, a global digital transformation powerhouse, just announced a big partnership with Melbourne Archdiocese Catholic Schools (MACS). The goal? To completely modernize how nearly 300 schools operate—making systems smarter, faster, and more connected.
Together, they’re rolling out SAP S/4HANA Cloud and other tech tools like SAP SuccessFactors, identity and access management, and advanced data systems. This will help MACS move from old-school processes to a cloud-first approach—boosting efficiency, simplifying day-to-day tasks, and preparing the system for future innovations like AI.
The Big Picture:
This isn’t just a tech upgrade. It’s a shift toward smarter education. Teachers and administrators will get role-based digital dashboards, improved collaboration tools, and real-time data to make better decisions. For MACS, it means more time focused on students and less time stuck in slow systems.
What They’re Saying:
“You can’t deliver great education on clunky systems,” said Dr. Edward Simons, Executive Director at MACS. “This transformation takes deep expertise, and Infosys brings just that. With the right foundations, our teachers can focus more on their students and less on paperwork.”
Vicki Russell, Chief Technology and Transformation Officer at MACS, added,
“This partnership is all about future-proofing. With Infosys, we’re building a modern, scalable platform that will help us foster innovation and support our school communities more effectively.”
Peter Moore from SAP Asia Pacific chimed in,
“With 120,000 students and 18,000 staff, MACS is a massive operation. Using SAP cloud solutions, they’re now set to simplify everything—from hiring to operations—while getting ready to use AI and data in smarter ways.”
Raja Shah, EVP at Infosys, said,
“This is a major win for Infosys in Australia. We’re proud to support MACS in reshaping education through our cloud and AI solutions. It’s a perfect example of what’s possible with the right digital strategy.”
