Being a member in the educational institutes’ management it is really difficult to manage all. Managing all administration to regular operations; from meeting different officials to vendors for different services. As far as infrastructure is concerned there are few decisions which need to be taken on priority because they can effect on the institutes reputation and all the money is being invested.
One such example is the implementation of school management software. Which school management Software Company to choose? What features should this software have? And what will it cost? All these needs to be handled and understood before reaching any decision.
Following are the 5 mistakes Educators do while implementing the School Management Software –
- Lack of market research – One should research on all the school management software’s available in the market and what all features and modules they cover. One should also research on the platform they have used; how secure and how user friendly is the software.
- Software Team – One should have in house software team who will manage the data and will be handling all operation on the software. Hence one should be confident on the knowhow of your software team and they should be playing a part while deciding on which software to use.
- Phased Approach – Software implementation is generally an issue. School Management Software contains many modules and if all are implemented at once there could be issues in managing data; handling and training all team to use. Hence one should identify the modules on priority basis and get these modules implemented in phases.
- Training of Users – All users need to be trained on live software so that they are comfortable in using it. All queries of users should be cleared and they should get all push notifications; errors so that they don’t make any mistake while operating the software.
- Enforcement – It’s found that implementation of any new system is not taken with ease with the users and staff. Hence one need to develop a strict enforcement policy and all users should be instructed to get them trained and cooperate in implementation and operations.
I have tried to figure out the major five mistakes Educators do while implementing the school software but I have found that the management and staff are very enthusiastic in getting the software implemented.
