ProActive Benefits

Improve Operational Effectiveness

• Facilitates process re-engineering initiatives as the platform provides rules-based communication and event driven notification. This enables schools to utilize these capabilities to transform their current processes.
• Automation of manual administrative tasks and events. This reduces the administrative cost of these activities by up to 95%.
• Most schools today maintain technology infrastructure at each school that house the many applications they utilize. The technology infrastructure general characteristics are: many servers with different hardware, software and applications; located in a non-secure computer room setting; accessible by school staff and sometimes students; does not have redundancy, power protection or backup; supported by one of the teachers that are somewhat astute in technology but are not trained technology professionals; and not physically or logically secure under today's technology standards. Comparing the two environments, on-site versus ASP, the ProActive School ASP approach provides significant cost savings versus the on-site model because there is no hardware or software to purchase and additional staff to operate and perform maintenance yielding higher quality at lower costs. Schools can save upwards to $40,000 per year per school.
• Having standardized data management is hard to quantify but does lend itself to improvements in operational effectiveness and more importantly, provides a standardized platform where the school knows that they are managing the data that is required and not missing anything.
• Reports can be generated using data from different applications. This capability to integrate and report across all school data provides information never obtained in the past for most schools. It enables the school to model variables when performing educational planning and analysis.
