"Change is the only constant” is a phrase that has been long heard, but unfortunately the same cannot be said for the education sector which is still stuck to the traditional paper-based systems. The education sector is still playing catch-up in this game and is unable to propose any remarkable improvements to traditional systems. Born out of the need for innovation at a time when there were innumerable opportunities in the education domain is Franciscan Solutions Pvt. Ltd., a company that decided to be pioneers in digitalizing the education space. Being the first company of its kind, they aimed to revolutionize and enhance the school management system. “We didn’t come up with a product but rather a solution that kept meeting demands as the time changed,” says Rajeev Francis, CEO of the company.
When Franciscan Solutions was initially started in 2007, the teams noticed a prominent setback among schools which was deterring students from progressing academically and ethically. There was a significant communication gap between the students and their parents as there was no direct point of contact. By introducing E-Portal, Franciscan Solutions granted parents with access to student information that includes assessment grades, attendance information, fee report, curriculum, schedules, and more.
