Benefits of an Education CRM

Microsoft Dynamics 365 for the education industry provides many benefits, such as increasing admission rates, saving time on administration, boosting collaboration and much more. More details about the key benefits below:

Increased Admission and Retention Rates

Our Bespoke CRM for Education facilitates and tracks interactions, simplifies workflows and supports teams with their daily processes. As a result, staff and students have a seamless experience, increasing admission and retention rates.

360° Degree View of Data

Effortlessly obtain a comprehensive perspective of all data, including student records, course performance, attendance rates, stakeholder engagement, and beyond.

Time Saved on Administration

Manual tasks can create time-consuming complex processes that reduce efficiency. Dynamics 365 for Education has various automation possibilities, allowing users to focus on the activities that matter most, such as student outreach and pursuing leads.

Enhanced Team Collaboration

We recognise that within the education sector, multiple individuals often need access to the same information. Our CRM ensures that all data is stored within a single place and that required users have access to the data they need, facilitating better teamwork and collaboration across departments.

Comply with Privacy Regulations

It is important that your system complies with data protection and confidentiality regulations. Microsoft Dynamics 365 for Education supports a comprehensive security model, giving you the confidence that data is kept safe and secure.

Personlised Stakeholder Experience

Students, staff, and other stakeholder expectations are higher than ever and fulfilling these is crucial for organisational continuity. D365 for Education provides a seamless customer experience through advanced marketing capabilities, in-depth stakeholder insights, and more.

Features of Microsoft Dynamics 365 for Education

Stakeholder management

Easily manage various stakeholders and relevant communications from one system. This data can also be used in other areas without needing to duplicate information, such as Dynamics 365 Customer Voice for sending surveys, or Dynamics 365 Marketing for follow-up campaigns.

Collaboration anywhere

As a cloud-based system, Dynamics 365 allows staff to access the system from anywhere, whether they are in the office, at home or on-the-go. Data is also updated in real-time ensuring that information is readily available when it is needed.

Track student enquiries

Responding to enquiries in a time-efficient manner is important for both students and staff. With Dynamics 365 for Education, assigning enquiries to the right person is easy; an activity can be auto-created to ensure that the enquiry is followed-up on, any communications can be tracked on the relevant record, and more.

Overview of courses

Gain a complete view of attendance, courses, internships, accomplishments, extracurricular activities, interventions, assessments, and more. Staff can use this information to make data-driven decisions about how to better support students.

Manage multiple student applications

With numerous student applications to manage, it can be difficult to stay on top of everything that needs doing. By using our Education CRM System, users can manage references, route applicants to the right person, decline and accept students, track applicant activities, etc.

Reporting

Collating and interpreting data can be difficult if data is stored in disparate systems or various Excel spreadsheets. Within the education sector, the Department for Education (DfE) requires teaching institutions to provide regular information and reports. By using our CRM Solution, reporting is made easy; users can quickly gain the insights they need, and easily create reports for the DFE.

Data Security

In the education sector, information is often confidential or sensitive. The Dynamics 365 security model requires secure credentials to sign-in and two-factor authentication to access information. Administrators can also set more complex security permissions around particular records, ensuring that safeguarding policies are met.

Dashboards

Leverage native Dynamics 365 Dashboards, or integrate with Microsoft Power BI, to view analytics and gain insights into students, classes, and key metrics, such as demographics. Dashboards can be personalised to reflect the necessary analytics that are important to your organisation.

At Pragmatiq, we have several factors that set us apart and ensure we are the best fit to support your business:

A consultative focus

Initially taking the technology out of the conversation, we work closely with you and your training business to understand processes, challenges and future goals.

The customer’s business model is always our starting point and we are uncompromising in our approach to be more than just a ‘technology company’.
