5 reasons private schools choose Phidias for their academic management

It's no secret that academic management at schools today involves many challenges, given the sheer number of processes and activities that need to be coordinated.

However, this work often becomes even more complicated when schools rely on systems prone to operational inefficiencies, which affects the time it takes to complete tasks and, in turn, costs.

That's why today we're sharing 5 reasons private schools trust Phidias with their academic management.

Why schools prefer Phidias for their academic management

Our educational software helps schools manage their processes through a secure, fast and intuitive platform, distinguished by an attractive modular design that offers a solution for each of the key processes in academic management.

What do our customers value most?

1. Centralized, up-to-date information for academic management

As we know, data management is one of the biggest challenges for schools. Many of them work with different systems that require requesting information in different places, and more than once.

This lack of data integration ends up increasing the likelihood of errors, since information has to be cross-checked several times to verify that it is correct.

Our academic management software for schools eliminates these problems because all academic, administrative, financial and communication information is centralized in a single system, where it is updated automatically after every action on the platform. This way, Phidias provides real-time information at all times, saving time and making things easier for the entire school community.

2. Data security with top-tier infrastructure

One of Phidias's best-known features is that it is a cloud-based system with a high level of security across its entire infrastructure. Some of its strengths include:

• Top-tier infrastructure with a server cluster hosted on Amazon Web Services (AWS)
• Daily backups
• Access and activity logs
• HTTPS access across the entire platform
• Single sign-on (SSO) with Google and Office365
• Secure password storage

3. Outstanding support service

At Phidias, we don't just offer a best-in-class platform; we also stand out for providing exceptional support. Our customers receive ongoing assistance from a team of expert consultants who provide proactive guidance, ensuring the school's needs are met.

We also offer an online help service through which schools get immediate answers to their requests. They even have access to an extensive library of easy-to-follow videos and illustrated articles that serve as guides.

• With Phidias, support is always available

4. A flexible system with features that meet each institution's needs

This point is especially important because, although there are many academic management systems, each has a different scope. For example, a system may handle grades but not allow them to be configured according to the grading schemes the school uses.

Phidias's flexibility is undoubtedly one of the main reasons private schools choose us.

It is a highly adaptable system thanks to its many features, organized into modules. These include:

• Managing the strategic plan and curriculum
• Creating assignments, support materials and online exams with automatic grading
• Generating grades, integrating all grading schemes into report cards
• Sending messages and notifications
• Scheduling events
• Managing observations and creating reports
• Making payments and other online processes easier
• Managing invoicing, payment collection and receivables
• Monitoring follow-ups
• Managing everything related to school transportation (including real-time location tracking for each vehicle)
• Managing after-school activities
• And more

5. Regulatory compliance for better academic management

Regulatory compliance is another important reason schools choose Phidias. Our system meets the applicable regulations for academics, data protection, reporting and more, adapting to the requirements set by local government authorities, from e-invoicing and civil protection rules to traffic and road regulations, among others.

That's why, for private schools, implementing Phidias means efficient, secure and accurate academic management.
