Store all of your data in one place
With Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central, you can easily create, collect and share organisational data from one simple platform. Things such as student data, staff details, fees (if applicable) and curriculum data, to name a few, no longer have be stored across many platforms. All data is fully protected by our integrated cloud service provider, Microsoft Azure, too, which will secure your data whilst keeping it accessible to your users 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
Keep track of resource and teaching schedules

Ensuring you have a platform that can tell you which resource is available and when is crucial to the smooth-running of your organisation. Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central will make your scheduling more efficient, organised and in sync with your HR function, so you can manage shift trading, time entry and approvals with ease.
