Further Education Sector
The Further Education sector today fulfils an ever broadening role within the fabric of the UK education system as a whole. FE has a massive role to play in lifelong learning and is actively involved in commercial training activities within the local employment sector. At the same time, the funding of delivery is being reduced and colleges are being forced to work smarter to achieve the operational targets they are being set. With this backdrop, the role of effective management information systems is paramount. Agresso, largely by virtue of its acquisition of Distinction Systems, is ideally placed to support the modern college and its aspirations for the future. Agresso works with over 120 colleges across the UK and offers systems for: It is the only supplier to offer truly integrated systems across these key management areas with technically modern applications that can be devolved to the many users that require access to decision-support information.

When new demands are placed on your organisation, Agresso Business World can be reconfigured to reflect those changes – often by your internal teams, without the need for a single day's consultancy. Agresso is the only architecture on the market that tightly couples data, business process, and the delivery methodology (reporting and analytics). Put simply, this means that when a change is made in one area, it does not have to be redone and rechecked for accuracy in another. That’s a huge time, money and people resource saver. That’s what true business agility is - what we at Agresso call Post Implementation Agility.
This post-implementation agility makes Agresso Business World truly future-proof, with a lower total cost of ownership than many of its rivals. Agresso Business World's long shelf life means you'll no longer face the pain and heartache of having to re-implement or replace your ERP system every 5 years. Instead, you'll gain substantial savings, and an unmatched resilience to change. | "Our FT enrolment has gone well this year using V4 Web, in the last two weeks we have enrolled 2000 FT 1st years. Our data team were a little apprehensive, to say the least, doing face to face enrolment with V4 Web - but everything went really well. We hope to get 1.9 on the live environment at the end of next week." - Dianne Baker, Solihull College, Sept 2007 |
