Maximising Secondary School Budgets
Secondary Schools across the UK are facing the ever increasing challenge of managing their budget effectively whilst continually evaluating how they operate and how processes can be streamlined to save money. Serco Learning understands the challenge Secondary Schools face in maximising their budget and one of the key principles in creating the exciting NEW Progresso MIS solution is to help reduce the cost of MIS ownership.
To help maximise Secondary School budgets Progresso is offered as a hosted solution so all schools need is an internet connection, there is no requirement for an extensive or expensive ICT infrastructure. In addition to this Progresso includes unlimited user licences, ensuring that as many staff and parents that require access, can have it at no extra cost to the school. This offers huge savings to Secondary Schools and ensures that they do not need to request new licences every time they have an additional staff member or student. These users can also enjoy another key principle of the Progresso system in terms of it being as easy to use as an everyday website which reduces the cost of training requirements. In addition to which the Progresso Training Centre found within the solution provides useful help buttons in all areas of the system giving helpful hints and tips, as well as short how-to video demonstrations. Again, decreasing the cost of training and saving essential time taken to find the information staff and parents require.
Progresso also automates and simplifies the everyday tasks that Secondary School staff face, helping to deliver huge savings in teacher and administrator time and costs. Yet another key principle of the Progresso solution comes into play here that is ensuring that information is pushed to the user. Rather than having to pull information out of the system as is the case with many traditional management information systems, Progresso pushes data to the user for example through subscriber reports. Once subscribed to a particular report it will be sent to the user’s personal Progresso dashboard and can be viewed as soon as they login. Again this saves valuable time and money, plus the sharing of reports online decreases the need for printing saving further costs.
