CECOS College London, United Kingdom
From Manual to Automated: How CECOS College Streamlined Academic Operations with Academia
Overview
Ten manual processes, one integrated platform
CECOS College London ran admissions, timetabling, attendance, fees, examinations and learning plans on paper, Word documents and spreadsheets. Academia replaced all of it with one integrated system, giving each academy location its own role-based view of shared, real-time data.
Rapid student adoption of the mobile app also cut attendance-related queries to faculty.
