There are many possible drivers that might lead to a need for a new platform. It could be that you know you are missing functionality in what you currently have, and this is impacting your efficiencies and causing extra cost and wasted time today. You could be concerned about a decrease in learner completion rates, and possibly a lack of ownership or not having the right tools in place for Tutors or Assessors to improve learner engagement. You might be wanting to make some improvements after an Ofsted investigation. It might be that your current platform is not integrated to your other systems, for example, your MIS (Management Information System).  

Alternatively, your organisation might be in growth mode, and you need to prepare for future growth and scalability, with consistent and transparent process. You might also be keen to switch for the benefits that modern technology can provide with a platform that has growing Artificial Intelligence capabilities to drive towards more streamlined workflows, accurate application for funding and ensuring successful completion by learners of their programmes.  

Talk to us! Before we propose anything, we will always take time to understand the detail of your context, which market you are in, how many learners you have, your growth plans etc. We can understand your pain points and give you advice around which applications might achieve exactly what you need.  

 We can help you build a business case for the use of the applications, and we can also provide guidance on what services might help you make the most of the technology to ensure that People and Process can make best use of the application to give you the best possible return on your investment.  

 Of course, with this information, you can speak to others too and make direct comparisons between the functionality we all provide and then be able to estimate which vendor has the best solution for you. We can also utilise our vast network of current customers and put you in touch with them so you can learn from best practice and their experience of implementation. 

Talk to us! Sometimes very few people in an organisation get to see the impact of how particular processes are not working as well as they might.

We have experience of how to documemnt that, bring it to the attention of your colleagues and leadership, and how to demostrate the time and money savings that might come from a switch in process. We are always happy to help you by listening to your impressions of the situation and then giving you some ways in which you can present your information back to others so you can make progress with your colleagues.
