Education institutions are complex organization structures. Schools while appearing to be monolithic are in practice operationally multiple departments at work with distinct roles and functions catering to diverse set of stakeholders. Schools are schools within schools, when you consider the preprimary, primary, middle and senior grouping as independent organizations having specific requirements when it comes admissions, academics and the overall administration. Working with a diverse set of schools partners we have learnt that each school is an independent ecosystem working hard to synchronize the functions.
Often schools deploy multiple software to address their different needs reflecting the diverse functional structure, under the premise that each function /department requires its own backend. While it appears convenient within the silos of each functions /departments the end outcome is the need to connect these independent functions eventually. Bringing in offline systems and methods and hence compromising the objective of digitization..
Seamless integration ensures that the department interconnect is possible resulting in a smoother, time saving operations. Data extraction, reconciliation becomes faster. Synchronization also gives integrated platform advantage by enabling creation of special modules that interconnect different modules enhancing functionality.
The sensitive data resides with one platform making it secure with quick resolution in times of emergency.
The advantage of all centralized transactions ensures that the management not only has macro view of the transactions Realtime on a single dashboard but also access details as and when required.
Integrated platforms are designed and developed with interconnection, links and hence the functions are robust and more comprehensive.
The single UI ensures familiarity and ease of use besides easier adoption, training.
