We started working with colleges because we were invited to resolve problems caused by the inflexibility of boxed software that neither the experienced Sage Business Partners or Sage themselves were prepared or able to fix. Sage asked us to step in as it was about to "go legal". Having resolved the issues we developed the solution further and now it supports all aspects of "Employer engagement" Course management, and related issues to ensure high retention and higher course completions.
Any boxed solution needs to deny the College or skills broker access and control over the solution otherwise how will the software vendor make residual revenue? If you are looking at any system, make sure your costs are a “one off” and not a rental model and that you don’t need to pay for access to the SA password, that you can import and export to every table in the database and that you can create new tables or fields as required and that you can implement a mix of rigid and flexible access policies on the fly.
Using an out of the box solutions for the FE market would be comparable to putting a plaster on a broken leg. If you are considering any boxed solution then do call us and we will arrange a trial without obligation. Our database is supportive and helps with compliance and the marketing of training
Our solution starts with FE practitioners who have more than 17 years experience of physically working in large colleges and who understand your processes and solutions. Working with Colleges they have ensured we understood and implemented the requirements of the Employer engagement team with consideration for those of the LSC.
