The genesis of "Anffy" traces back to enterprising students at Shanghai Jiao Tong University who, in 2013, embarked on a journey that led to the birth of this innovative platform. Originally known as "ApplicationPass," the product addressed various processes for the university's outstanding students, such as declaration procedures, social practices, venue registrations, and evaluations. These processes shared common challenges:
- Dynamic workflows pose challenges in full determination.
- Diverse form contents, hindering standardization.
- Frequent updates make reliance on continuous development impractical.
Instead of contemplating the development of separate systems for each section, the students adopted a modular approach. They aimed to construct adaptable workflows and create forms that could be configured with just "one click."
Keeping Pace with Progress
From 2008 to 2018, amid the rapid evolution of the internet and mobile technology, Shanghai Jiao Tong University, a forerunner in information technology among universities, has consistently explored new frontiers. Established in 1973, the Shanghai Jiao Tong University Computing Center stands as one of China's earliest and largest computing centers in higher education.
In the current era of rapid information technology advancements, Shanghai Jiao Tong University, in its pursuit of world-class status, recognizes the importance of optimizing student affairs processes from a student-centric perspective. In the spirit of "Internet + Government Affairs" and guided by the "Education Informatization 2.0 Action Plan," the Student Affairs Center at Shanghai Jiao Tong University has partnered with Anffy to forge an all-encompassing online student service platform.

As students navigate through various transactions during their academic journey, Shanghai Jiao Tong University has progressively transitioned many processes online, enhancing efficiency and reducing reliance on paperwork. Anffy is honored to contribute to this journey of digital transformation, aligning seamlessly with Shanghai Jiao Tong University's commitment to delivering an enhanced student experience.
