University ERP- Bridging The Gap Among Students, Faculties, & Parents

Posted on April 30, 2019July 15, 2025 by Hemant Mahajan

Communication is power, it creates a better relationship, builds trust and avoids disposal of improper information.

Even in education industry communication is very important. We are aware of the importance of connectivity and synchronization between faculties and students. But there are many more dimensions to cover to fill this communication gap.

It is prevalent that parents want to be involved in their children’s lives especially when it comes to academic performance. They want to be aware of how their kids are being taught, how they are performing, is there any behavior that needs to intervene, etc.

Not only between parents and student but communication also plays an important role between faculties and students. If a student is updated with all the lessons, assignment details, faculty’s availability and other related information; his awareness will increase and he will perform better. Same goes for faculty.

Here comes the need for a proper system that can enhance the connectivity among all the stakeholders of an institute.

What is University ERP?

University ERP is a software programme that manages all the academic processes within a university campus. It is also known with various names around the globe e.g. University Management System, Campus Management Software or Student Information System.

It manages complete student life cycle from inquiry to graduation till placement. A University Management System streamlines all academic operations with the help of many advanced features.

How a University ERP is connecting students, faculty, and parents?

A University ERP or University Management System such as Academia SIS provides an exclusive portal for parents, faculty, and students. These portals help them to see all the information they require.

With the help of Parents Portal, parents can check the details of their children such as marks obtained, lessons taught, absentees, outstanding payments, disciplinary actions, etc. They can also track which faculty is running behind in his/her lesson plan and which one is performing better.

If parents stay aware of the performance of their children, they can take the required actions. Moreover, students perform better if their parents are aware of their academic activity.

If there are any inadequacies in performance or any other areas, parents can play their role to correct it.

Faculty with the help of Employee Portal can give assignments, homework to every student; individually or in a group which gives them the power to keep an eye on every student.

What are the benefits of University ERP?

In the olden days when our parents in college, their parents weren’t getting any academic or non-academic performance report of their children, only the mark sheet. Now the time has changed. With the help of Education ERP, parents can be aware of everything their children’s activity from beginning to end, which builds a meaningful and strong relationship among students, parents, and institutions.

Education ERP is the future

It is well known that Education Technology is going to replace all traditional and manual academic processes in the future. University ERP or Student Information System (SIS) brings the parents and institution on the same page, that ultimately leads to a healthy and successful student life cycle.

A quick guide to choose the right education management solution for your institution

Posted on November 30, 2018July 15, 2025 by Hemant Mahajan

Let’s get familiar with the step by step process of reaching the right education management solution for automating your institute:

There are probably a few challenges that could be faced by you, while you would start to consider automation for your institute. These are as follows-

1. Report Generation: Creating and managing reports is one of the most tedious tasks for an institute. Accuracy cannot be compromised during the generation of reports since all the critical decisions are made over it. But by keeping it manual, there are several compromises one has to makeover it.
2. Data Management: Data loss is another situation that needs more emphasis. Due to the manual processing, there’s always misplacement or loss of the data and the required data goes missing.
3. Lack of coordination: Coordination among internal stakeholders is mandatory for better productivity but some tasks such as keeping people in the loop, regular follow-ups, long approval flows, etc make it very hectic. It also affects the timeline of the tasks.
4. Attendance Management: Attendance of both staff and students is a huge task to handle altogether. Keeping track of it and updating people about it manually is almost impossible for larger institutions.
5. Finances Management: Fees collection and management of compensations, damages, petty cash, refunds, etc are very critical to keep the institute going.

Here are some great suggestions on how you can meet the challenges by adopting the best-fit education management solution:

a. The right fit solution: A software that suits your institute perfectly should be chosen. It will depend on the requirements, the problems faced in various departments, the size of the institute, etc. Considering all these factors will help you choose the right education management solution.
b. Training: Training sessions for staff is another important process that should be undergone for using the ERP software the right way so that the use of the solution can be materialized.
c. Time- saving: Automation obviously saves a lot of time and money as well. The tasks are done automatically with the software and the staff just has to keep track of the day-to-day tasks with very fewer efforts. The lowest manual intervention will help you invest your manpower in some more important tasks than managing the data.
d. Simplification: Attention to every task can be eliminated because the software possesses the perfect algorithms to complete the task the right way. Hence rechecking the calculations, the listing of students, fee management, due dates -all can all done by the software itself.
e. Security: Security is pretty big of a concern that can be taken care of by providing accessibility to the right staff members only. The software allows the security check and login customizations according to the requirements of the institute.
f. Reliability: The reliability of education management solution is the most important challenge an institute can face, one can go through the old testimonies for the software, its usages, past experiences, and the popularity for shortlisting.

Are you unable to find the right solution because of the following factors?

a. Budget & cost: Education technologies always involve great cost, and of course it is varied by the size of the institution and its type. You will have to find the right balance of budget and customs requirements.
b. After-sales support: After the implementation, support is the basic requirement for the institute since these types of technologies require very effective support systems for smooth working. A good Support team along with the right software will be of great help in long run.
c. Internet issues and the computer skills of the staff: New processes need to be added to train the staff so that the institute could reach the exact level of efficiency which is expected from education ERP systems.
d. Customization: Every institute is one of its types, the institutes have their own process and ideas for management, therefore it is very important to create a customized system that could suit the Institute requirements very well.

Academia is the right solution to overcome challenges and success in managing your institute. We provide systems with the right cost that fits your pocket and benefits you enormously once implemented. Academia provides the best support in the industry.

Top 10 issues around school management and how to solve them easily with ERP

Posted on July 19, 2018July 11, 2025 by Hemant Mahajan

We all are aware of the fact that technology is here to stay and transform. But when it comes to answering how specific it is in solving the challenges unique to you and your institute, you may find yourself wondering.

Answering the same questions for you, here is how education ERP solutions such as Academia ERP solve some of the biggest challenges of a school. For any further information, do feel free to connect with our technology experts. We are sure you would love what you see in the live demo.

Common challenges in School Management:

Paper-bound processes

Let’s just say, that you are trusting your employees to care for every single paper that is running across various departments and save it for further reference – you have too much faith in people and you are bound to see some serious mismanagement.

The world is moving at the speed of light, people are loving digital operations. Needless to say, your employees need to access the information fast, speed up every single operation and maintain pristine records of everything that is happening in your school. And this would happen when you have a digital system in place. A software that would automate repetitive processes, and track every piece of information for you in seconds.

Student/parent experience

The negative experiences of students and parents may be bad for your school’s reputation. Students and parents do not love to stand in a queue for hours for meager things such as getting a form or paying their fees, or asking for some information.

You can simplify all this with an education ERP that would send out forms to their mobile or web apps, and provide seamless communication through SMS or push notifications on their devices. Reminder emails and notifications would eliminate the need for a person to roam from classroom to classroom to inform people about the ongoing activities in a school.

Admissions and Enrollment

It would not surprise you if we say, you are losing out on a large volume of applications each year just because you don’t have a system to manage the enquiries. In a competitive environment such as now, you should not give any chance to your competitors to thrive on your shortcomings.

With an efficient education ERP you can fill these small gaps in your processes and ensure applicants are getting the right information and have all the aid they require throughout the admission process. Admissions and enrollment process thus can be digitalized through education ERP and shoot up your admission rates by several folds.

Course Management

Designing a course curriculum is an every-year activity and a process that is time-consuming and labor-intensive. With the course management system, you can accomplish this task much easier and in a very short period of time. Also, regulations around curriculum and knowledge resources have become very strict. The regulatory bodies want to ensure students have access to quality education.

Hence, course management activities such as creating a curriculum, and managing resources, assignments, and examinations should be in line with these policies and regulations. An education ERP would offer you the ease to support the goal of graduating students having near-zero instances of shortcomings in course management.

Teacher Evaluation

Not only is it important to evaluate student performance but teachers too should regularly be evaluated based on student performance and success. Since generating reports on performance for a big number of teachers in your institute is difficult, go for an education ERP. The software comes with a number of reports that gives you granular reports on every teacher’s performance.

Communication and Collaboration

Not many institutes pay much attention to this challenge but this is maybe one nail that is stopping you to attain a top speed in your operations. Lack of communication between various departments, and lack of communication between students-teachers / student-teachers-parents can result in operational gaps. Seamless flow of information in real-time thus increases collaboration between departments and ensures higher experience for your all stakeholders.

Classroom management strategy

Schools are not only responsible for academic education but they are responsible for building a good character in a person. Infusing qualities such as punctuality, honesty, discipline, and more are the primary goals for schools. Hence, a classroom management strategy that ensures close monitoring of students’ behavior and participation in the classroom is important. With an education ERP, you can get a robust discipline tracking and behavior management system for making this process more effective and streamlined.

Student Monitoring

Teachers are struggling to monitor student activities, this includes attendance, leave, discipline, assignments and so much more. School administrators build students’ results based on these reports. The more effective the monitoring system is the more closely it would analyze a student based on these aspects and hence, provide a more clear report on a student.

Automating and streamlining student attendance, assignment collection, and behavior management would give administrators a real-time status of any student’s activity and allows them to build performance improvement strategies. Since education ERP software offers you all these tools, it is very practical to have one for your institute.

Revenue Management

Tracking every transaction in your institute with a paper-bound system is not going to ensure the best revenue management. The robust education ERP system allows you to get real-time updates on every transaction and offers online payments securely. This means, you now have a hawkeye over every monetary transaction happening in your organization on implementing education ERP.

Forecasting the academic achievements

Statistics and data have transformed the world. It gives you the ability to peek into the future and change its course with effective strategies in the present. A predictive analytics tool is one of the biggest benefits you get from implementing education ERP.

A product such as Academia SIS/ ERP comes with an AI-based data analytics toolset that provides predictive analytics on the academic performance of the students. Hence, you can know the outcome of a student’s performance before it has appeared in an exam and work on their weaknesses to alter the results. This gives you one added benefit and a sharper edge in the market to guarantee top-notch academic results.

Concluding

Education ERP for Schools aims are automating all your processes while acting as a centralized database to support all the departments and their operations. Features such as real-time information access, remote access, remote functionality, predictive analytics, reporting, and resource management allow you to streamline processes and ensure faster operations.

Posted on May 25, 2018July 15, 2025 by Hemant Mahajan

Education institutions these days have become too tedious and monotonous. Therefore, its high time that we work on it to make it effort-free that helps in the investment of the efforts in the right direction for higher productivity. Most of the institutes in today era have got ERP systems that help such institutes to streamline the processes. But the big concern is that how much these systems are efficient and effective for institutes.

If your system already has an SIS installed and has limited functionality and does only works on single campus or breaks down every now and then, then you would like to get it replaced, right!? Here are five good reasons that the time might be right to invest in a new student information system that may help you out in the right way that how an ERP can cut your processes short and make them effective.

1. Get more benefits for the money you invest for your ERP system

Choosing a high tech, cloud-based Student Information System means freeing your institute from outdated technology and processes and old proprietary equipment. Institutes with an online SIS can pay either for a SAAS model that is rent based or an annual subscription i.e. the one-time payment for their system, which is designed to interface with user devices like laptops, tablets, and mobile phones etc.

The benefits of these systems usually include an improved return on investments (ROIs) because of the higher opportunities to boost enrolment of students and simplified payment processes.

2. Better Functionality

An SIS that provides you huge no. of features at the lower price that may benefit the institutes in an influential way. But sometimes a lower price version or system of ERP may lack the key features that are required for management of institute data efficiently. An ideal online SIS system for mostly all the institutes should include a few useful features at a cost that won’t break the bank and at the same time will be responsive with an amazing support system for users. Ultimately, a system is only as good as the people behind the scenes who are maintaining and servicing it are- Academia is one such solution.

3. Higher security:

A new system brings along with it, secured processes and secured way to keep institute’s data. It allows access to the system according to the access permissions given to the user which can be the student, staff member, teachers, parents etc. This way no wrong usage of data can be done and all the confidential information can only be accessible to the right hands.

Another benefit to a cloud-based system can be that in case of loss of hardware, there is no loss of the data that is too important for an institute because all the information is saved on the cloud.

4. Support system:

Also, if institute has taken a new SIS system fora trial run and think you have it all calculated, an institute will never want tech support to be too far away. A cloud-based ERP system is often easier to troubleshoot than an onsite system.

Also, a cloud-based SIS lets tech support securely access your system off-site and see what one would see while walking you through the problem which could be another benefit for the institute.

Before finally investing in a new SIS, always consider the type of support the institute will need and make sure that it includes enough coverage. Some SIS support systems are limited by business hours or charge an additional cost for resolving technical issues whereas Academia does not!

5. An easy to go Payment Processing

A latest type of SIS can assist your institute financially in other ways besides increasing the admission levels. The right system with integrated payment processing will process with proper bank account debits and major credit cards with the lowest overhead.

Using an all-in-one system let parents keep track of tuition fees and pay for incidentals like books and uniforms in the same place they check their student’s grades and attendance.
