The problems it addresses

What usually prompts the call

  • Attendance, marks and results sit in separate files that are reconciled at the end of every term.
  • A revised mark leaves no trace of who changed it or who approved it.
  • Accreditation data is assembled department by department each time it is asked for.
  • Students queue at a counter for information the institution already holds.

Example workflow

How it runs, start to finish

An illustration of a typical sequence. Your own process is configured during implementation.

  1. Set up the term: courses, sections, faculty and timetable.

  2. Students register and choose electives in the selection window.

  3. Faculty record attendance and enter assessment marks.

  4. Marks are moderated and grades calculated on the approved scale or curve.

  5. Results are published; grade cards and transcripts are issued.

  6. Outcome attainment and feedback reports are produced for review.

Questions

Frequently asked

Do we have to take every module?

No. Institutions take the modules that address their current problem and add others later. Which modules are included is set out in your proposal; nothing on this site should be read as meaning every module is part of every deployment.

What does the software cover?

Admissions; academics and student administration, including electives, examinations, grading and transcripts; fees and finance; HR and payroll; institutional operations such as stores, hostel and transport; and placement and executive education. Each area is described on its own solution page.

Can it be adapted to our ordinances and regulations?

Much of what varies between institutions is configuration that your own staff control: the admission form, scoring criteria, fee structures, grade scales and curves, elective rules and feedback forms. Where a regulation needs something the standard modules do not do, we assess it as customised development and say so in the proposal.

What happens to our existing data?

Migration is scoped with you during discovery: which records come across, from which sources, and from what cut-off date. Student, course and faculty data can be imported from spreadsheets. We do not commit to a migration scope before we have seen the source data. The migration checklist helps you prepare.
