What important things are considered while installing campus management solutions in your institute?

Like any other sector, the use of technology in education sector is evolving and growing constantly. A good campus management solution has to be dynamic enough to serve the ever changing needs of an institution. A gap between the institution’s expectations and deliverables of the campus management software will force the institution to change the software. We, at IFW, try to come out with innovative ideas to make the Enterprise resource planning (ERP) solutions more user-friendly and dynamic to cater all the requirements of users.

Campus Management System must be flexible enough to meet the demographical shift, how do you fulfil the requirements of a customer in this regard?
A good campus management solution will have all the features and processes that are needed for its targeted regions and type of institutions. Rules, regulations, policies, sometimes language etc need to be changed in the software as per the demographic changes. A good campus management solution should be able to incorporate all those changes to stay relevant in all its target regions. We at IFW make sure that our solutions primarily should at all times accommodate the needs of Indian institutions from all states.

What tools do you use to develop the software that involves student details, study programmes, faculty workload, scholarships and other administration related activities?
Various platforms such as Net, PHP, JAVA, Oracle etc are available in the market to develop campus management systems. All these platforms are very popular across the world. Irrespective of the technical platform on which an application is made, the load on software can be managed with the help of optimised code for the software that can generate quick results. Understanding client’s requirement before starting software development is also very essential as it helps the developer to understand key needs and objectives of software. Moreover, it’s important to have a robust internet, hardware and networking framework as per the software’s requirement before its implementation.

How important role does Cloud Technology play in the development of a school or college management system?
Cloud is the future of all school and college management systems. After easy access to internet through Mobile/Smart Phones penetration in all parts of the country, it is must to opt for Cloud Technology. The technology has major advantages like easy and quick implementation, secured data backups, no need of local servers, any time anywhere usage etc. We, at IFW, also know this from our experience that Cloud applications take less time in implementation and thus provide a quick Return on Investment (ROI) to the clients.

In order to improve the performance of campus management software, what processes you follow along with the user feedback?
At IFW, we have a dedicated call centre working 24X7 for our clients. The call centre provides online on call, e-mail and remote desktop support to the clients. Dedicated support agents monitor the usage of the clients and provide solutions to their problems accordingly. The agents not only support but also make sure that all the features of the solutions are understood by the clients and they can use the software as soon as possible. The support team also collects feedback and suggestions from the clients and forwards them to the development team, where after the evaluation and in detail discussion, the enhancements are provided to the client in new upcoming versions.
