What To Consider When Choosing a School Administration Software
Are you looking for the perfect school management software for your school? Then you need to understand that this is a decision you need to take carefully. Using software for school administration simplifies tasks and makes it easier for the school processes to run efficiently. However if proper care is not taken, it often results in frustration and ultimately loss of money. It is important to have a strategy to select software that will run the institution without downtime, and also improve the efficiency and productivity of staff. You should also know that because a software works for another school does not entirely mean it will meet the needs of yours; administrative processes differ from one school to another. In general, a good school software should be able to automate schedules, track students and also handle finances. But it is very important that you consider adequately the following factors while selecting your school management software.
- Analysis & Reports: How to get all the vital information you need fast from anywhere, anytime? Choose a software that can produce powerful charts & reports automatically and updated in real-time.
- Web-Based Solution & Accessibility: You should only adopt a software that provides a web-based solution! Depending on your infrastructure you can decide to host the application online or offline. But the key advantage of online deployment is that the application is accessible anywhere, anytime and on any device. Making it possible for staff, students and even parents to access it even from home. Make sure the software you choose comes with a Mobile App.
- Features, Customization & Integration: Is it customizable and designed to serve large number of users simultaneously? Focus only on providers that are designing flexible models to support your size or complexity. Choose the software that can be seamlessly integrated with your existing system.
- Security: Data security is mission-critical in today’s world and it never matters until something bad happens that breaches your security system. Does the software provide transparent information about their security? Check for robust role-based permissions, single sign-on and strong multi-factor authentication.
- Consistent Updates/Upgrades: it is essential to implement a solution that will keep evolving and continue to get better with time. Applications that are constantly upgraded, taking into consideration the trends in new technology, usually meet this standard.
Finally, the primary objective of every school is to pass knowledge to its students. Any software application that is not positively contributing to the school’s knowledge base does nothing but hinder its growth in all aspects.

HELPING YOUR CHILDREN SUCCEED AT SCHOOL
Education is an enlightening experience. It is not simply teaching and learning from the text books and gathering certificates. As far as a child is concerned, this enlightenment first takes place from home, and then, from school. It therefore becomes crucial for parents to be actively involved in the education process of their children. A few centuries back, it was possible only by conducting an annual parent-teacher meeting. But this obviously is not sufficient to have a better understanding of the students’ track. Nowadays, circumstances have changed and we have more ways to keep in touch with the teachers or the school authorities. Phone calls, e-mails etc. are some of the best means of communication between teachers and parents. But, they too lack consistency. Presently the perfect way to connect educators and parents is utilizing a School Administration Software together with Mobile App. The developers of Eduplus have all these in mind while creating their School Administration Software. It enables parents and teachers to connect within the shortest time possible, and also ensures parents are actively involved in their child’s activities in school.
ENCOURAGE YOUR CHILD’S SCHOOL TO GET EDUPLUS
- You don’t have to wait until the Yearly conference to discuss issues: Parents hardly have time to visit schools to discuss their child’s activities. Even those who have the time are often told to wait till the parents-teachers meeting to have this dialogue. But why should you wait to discuss important issues? This is where the school administration software like Eduplus helps. It comes with a forum where parents can drop their opinions and suggestions online without having to be physically at the school. Teachers can see these comments in real time and are able act on them.
- Know where your child is: Parents and teachers are busy with their jobs. Therefore, it is not possible for them to watch each and every movement of students. Since parents can get the attendance report, activity records, time tables, calendars, school bus time and progress reports at their fingertips at any moment using the Mobile App, there is no need to disturb the teacher by calling them every now and then.
- Never miss your child’s School Event: Plays, Recitals, sports, debate etc. are very important to our children. It becomes an unforgettable experience for them especially when their parents are there to witness them excel in the presence of everyone else. Eduplus helps in this regards by providing reminders about special event happening in the school. General school information and updates are also provided by alerts.
It’s no secret that children are most successful when parents are consistent, supportive and involved with their education. Take it from us; the key to your child’s success in school is for you to be involved in the daily process. Yes, you should visit the school and spend time speaking to the teachers, understand your child at school and on those days when you can’t be present in that manner, Eduplus is at your convenience.

CORPORATE EMAIL – It’s More Than Just Messaging
Email is one of the cheapest ways a business can use to communicate, both internally and externally. Any business can simply sign up for free email with providers such as Gmail, Yahoo or Hotmail. There are many other internet server providers (ISP) and websites offering email accounts today. For some, this seems like a viable option and for the individual, it may be. However, for the business owner, it is a choice that should be reconsidered. Believability is key in business! In fact it goes a long way to contribute to whether a business continues to be a going concern. Hence, the need to have a corporate email becomes imperative. For instance, yourbusiness@yahoo.com may seems ok but trust me info@yourbusines.com or support@yourbusiness.com looks cooler. If you have not yet started using a corporate email, the time to make the switch is now!
BENEFITS DERIVABLE FROM USING A CORPORATE EMAIL
First Impression Matters: Unfortunately, scammers exist. But having your own corporate email immediately tells your audience you aren’t one. Also, a generic email may be seen as incompetent, but a corporate email tells your audience you are serious about your business.
Think big – Create Your Own brand: A generic email could convey that your business is small, new or even part-time. But a corporate email address gives you a corporate image. It also helps you to avoid situations where clients don’t want to pay you fairly
Brand Awareness/ Business Promotion: The best benefit of using branded email is every time you send out an email; you’re promoting your business, not just some ISP. It’s a valuable, cost-efficient way to market your company without having to spend a lot of money. You also have the option of adding a cool and appealing signature to your emails which also go a long way in promoting your brand
YOUR REPUTATION IS IN YOUR HANDS
As a business person, your reputation is everything. How others perceive you is as important for business as your product or service. If prospective clients shy away from you before they even try your product or service, then any amount of promoting will do no good. You must represent yourself in the most positive light possible. In short, it is in your best interest to use only official email addresses for your business. Leave the free email accounts for individuals and make yourself stand out from the crowd. Contact O’sigla Resources today and we’ll have you up and running in a matter of minutes.

HOW AN EHR SYSTEM IMPROVES PATIENT ENGAGEMENT
Patient engagement is simply Care Providers and patients working together to improve health. A patient engagement in healthcare contributes to improved health outcomes, and with the series of support systems available such as EHRs, information technologies can support patient engagement. Patients want to be engaged in their healthcare decision-making process, and those who are engaged as decision-makers in their care tend to be healthier and have better outcomes.
The world has gone mobile! More than 2 billion of the world’s population uses a Smartphone and it is such that most check their Smartphone every 5 minute or less. EHR such as Clinical has taken advantage of this in that it comes with a Mobile App; this further fosters Patient engagement. For instance, allowing patients to do tasks through a Mobile App makes it easier for patients to make an appointment. Health alerts pertaining to individual patient is also provided. This results in overall health awareness, better treatment adherence and better care outcomes.
Patient online portal is an integral part of Clinical EHR. It lets patients access their medical records anytime. This patient portal provides patient workflow that not only gives patient access to their medical history, but also allows them to better manage their healthcare through:
- Making appointments
- Requesting a prescription refill
- Completing intake forms prior to a visit
- Paying bills online
- Receiving health alerts
- Messaging/emailing their care giver
Having easy access to all these tasks online, in one place, means the patient is more likely to visit the portal. Being able to message their physician instead of waiting for an appointment is an incredible benefit for patients.
In this digital age, the healthcare industry has a huge opportunity to improve patient engagement and make patients more empowered managers of their care. Adopting Clinical software will definitely help improve this. Since, health care institutions take patient engagement seriously; therefore any system that further enhances this is of utmost importance.
