Problem being solved

“Quality of Education Begins in The Management”

The volume of data generated in an educational institution is large and often the information is not processed and stored properly, which causes an overload in academic management and the secretariat, having a financial impact and generating bottlenecks that hamper the operation with other areas of the institution.

Without an effective school management software, many good opportunities are lost and too much time is wasted. In addition, non-standardized processes generate unsatisfactory results, which can lead to an imprecise and even misleading understanding of the situation.

Description of innovation

Potential to be scaled and replicated

To Upscale and sustain the system we plan delivery the system in 2 business models:

CLOUD BASED or SaS (Software as a Service) - in which we delivery it to clients through the internet. So the clients do not have to install the software, update it, maintain it and integrate it. The vast majority of technical aspects are “taken care of” by us and the client can start using the SaaS product with little effort.

ON PREMISE - The best option for those with concerns about data security, or want to integrate the platform into internal business processes, or don’t want to diffuse efforts on multiple platforms management.
