Buying an ERP is still being the biggest problem for organizations and especially for education institutes. There’re only a few good options available in the market for education ERP. It is important to take the right decision since buying an ERP is a very time consuming and expensive decision that would last for a really long time. And making mistake in such a decision is irreversible.

Consider these important factors while buying an ERP solution for your Institute:

• Proper & Consistent Update: When choosing an Institute management software, it’s very important to adopt a solution that will keep evolving and continue to get better along with every passing decade.
• Flexibility: The software should adapt to the changes in the institute rather than the Institute adapting to what the software offers. An Institute management system should be robust and should be capable to take up all the existing data from day 1.
• Reliability: In choosing an institute management system, it is sensible to always go for the tested and trusted product. Consider how long other Institutes have been using it and how do they feel about it?.
• Evolution: Has it been serving institutes in accordance with the needs of society and the changing era and will the software be fit for meeting the growing needs of the students, teachers, etc.
• Long-term Support: Ensure that the solution you choose is from a well-established company that is specialized in a software solution for education only, which could be very beneficial.
• Accessibility: Any solution that you choose should be able to cater to both offline processes& online tasks, depending on your institute’s infrastructure and equipment.
• Scalability: Unless the solution is scalable it will be unusable or rather say not of much use. Look at its track record of existing clients and the duration that the software has been in use for that will help you a lot while shortlisting.
• Impact on Learning: Any education software that does not positively contribute to the institute’s knowledge base does nothing but hinder its growth in all aspects.
