Purchasing student management system software may seem like a simple task, given the many options available at our fingertips, but this decision shouldn’t be taken lightly and could make or break your business. Whether you are looking to upgrade, or your organisation is just starting out, it’s important to take intelligent steps to ensure a successful long term purchase. The foremost attribute to look for, alongside required functionality and features, is transparency.

So you’re currently using legacy software, or, worse, you still don’t know that you are. If any of these scenarios apply to you, you’ve come to the right place!

While you may be completely happy with your current software, your customers may not feel the same. A Microsoft study concluded that more than 90% of consumers would consider taking their business elsewhere rather than work with a company that used outdated technology. If you’ve seen a decrease in customer retention, this may very well be one of the reasons why. Updating your software at your Training Organisation is critical to maintaining projected growth and is a necessity for your business to succeed. Not only does outdated software make customers feel uneasy, but it can have many more spiralling effects on your training organisation.

If you’ve purchased education software in the past, it may tick along for years - even decades, doing exactly what you purchased it to do, but has not changed with time to meet the demands of a modern business, so, how exactly can you pinpoint when your software is outdated and when it is time to upgrade?

To help you answer this question and identify the many benefits a modern student information and management system can bring to your training organisation, we’ve provided a comparison table below.

A thriving business with a healthy cash flow and low expenses is every business owner's dream. While we hate to be the bearers of bad news, this reality, unfortunately, does not exist. “You have to spend money to make money”, is a phrase often thrown around. In other words, to make money in business, you need to invest in human resources, products, software, or supplies. But, this does not mean that you can’t be smart about it.

Wisenet is a highly rated student management system for a number of reasons. We dig deeper into them in this blog post. Read it here.

Canvas is a learning management system for education providers to keep up with trends, education needs, challenges and delivery.

During the 2020 pandemic, many of us, including education providers, were forced to adopt working from home (WFH) as the new business norm. This came with its own challenges, and although plenty of organisations had the idea that productivity would take a hit, it was actually quite the opposite.

As a VET (Vocational Education and Training) Student Loan and HE Provider (Higher Education Provider) you find yourself with administration overheads that can be overwhelming. Whether you are a newly approved provider or have been a key player in the industry, there are always significant additional compliance requirements to implement in your training delivery.

These constant updates therefore require more and more of your due diligence in providing quality training to your learners and, in reporting error-free data to the government. Using Vocational Education and Training software this is all possible and simple.
