Educational institutions, whether university, primary school or government department, all share one primary goal: student success. They need to attract and retain students and teaches them the right behaviour, the good manners thus making them civilized as Education is the basis of culture and civilization. To this end, Online24x7 Business Analytics lets educational organizations:

Plan strategies for academic improvement: : Use business intelligence software to coordinate five issues -- leadership, core vision, professional development, time, and assessment and to analyse student and curriculum performance across tests, classes, cohorts, teachers, schools, campuses and regions to determine what is working and what needs work.

Identify and pre-empt student difficulties: Run predictive analytics on test results, discipline events, attendance, demographics, teacher experience and other factors to build up future performance or drop-out risk. Provide teachers deep insight into individual student needs so they can plan interventions or adjust their teaching to achieve the best possible results.

Benchmark teaching best practices:Find out which teachers are having the most success within a topic, demographic or region, for example, and apply their methodologies to teacher development across the board.

Share trusted information securely:Uniting data silos creates a foundation of trusted information in which all stakeholders can have confidence. Share information through secure intranets and extranets.

Compile, analyze and report on student results to stakeholders: The ability to analyze data from the student level up to the federal level, and even compare data internationally, allows the kind of insight that can transform educational efforts.

Manage the student lifecycle: Multiple forms and locations of student data is a major source of inefficiency. Online 24x7 helps you to create student records that originate in early childhood education and persist throughout a lifetime of learning.

Monitor important KPIs and report on compliance: Local and national agendas are upping the ante for transparency and accountability in education. Business analytics helps you follow and report on critical metrics such as headcount, results, reputation and spending.

Align activities with strategic goals:Strategy maps let you cascade high-level goals to all contributors so they can understand and track how their day-to-day work contributes to the strategic targets.

Demonstrate good governance, transparency and accountability: Predictive analytics lets educational organizations eliminate “best-guess” project milestones and set expectations by communicating plans with staff, leadership, overseers and stakeholders. When all employees can input and access centralized data on budgets, expenditures and outcomes, organizations can improve efficiency and manage risk.

Manage recruitment and advancement: With public funding for education reduced in many parts of the world, tuition and fundraising are becoming more important sources of sustainment. Using driver-based planning, schools can take a more proactive role in recruiting and fundraising.

With advanced analytics from Online24x7, educational organizations can drive student success from all angles. Now that’s education for a smarter planet.
