Education

Institutions accumulate systems by department. We consolidate the student, staff and finance record so a campus can answer questions about enrolment, fees and outcomes without a data-gathering exercise.

Sector focus
Admissions to alumni on one record, with fees, staff and reporting joined up.

What we find

The four problems we are usually called in about

Recognisable? Each one has a root cause in process or data design rather than in software capability.

01

The student record is fragmented

Admissions, academics, fees and alumni each hold a partial record, so the lifecycle view has to be assembled by hand.

02

Fee collection is reactive

Outstanding balances are chased from a spreadsheet, and reconciliation with the bank lags by weeks.

03

Campus IT is inconsistent

Accounts, devices and access differ by department, making onboarding, offboarding and security uneven.

04

Reporting to the board is manual

Enrolment, utilisation and financial reporting are rebuilt each cycle, so trends are noticed a term late.

How we fix it

What we actually configure for education

Not a capability list — the five specific design decisions that make the difference in this sector.

  • One student master across admissions, academics, fees and alumni
  • Fee scheduling, instalments, concession rules and automated bank reconciliation
  • Microsoft 365 for Education tenancy with governed identity and device management
  • Staff HR, attendance and payroll connected to the general ledger
  • Enrolment, retention and financial dashboards from one semantic model

Education tenancies have distinct licensing that is often far cheaper than commercial. We validate eligibility and size the tenancy accordingly.
