3. A leading school in Mumbai, with an 86-year old leading Education Network teaching
over 70000 students across India planned to implement an ERP package. This institute has
200+ work locations spread across 8 states and employs 4500+ employees across the
country. The institute emphasizes on the use of technology in teaching in all their schools,
with state-of-the-art computer labs and interactive boards installed in classrooms. Due to
its effective use of technology in education, this Education Group was awarded the "best
ICT enabled school" in all of India. With the geographically dispersed staff, the Group was
looking for a comprehensive and integrated solution that would connect their growing
network of schools, standardize and automate their business operations and help them get a
better control over their operations. Some of the key challenges that were faced by this
institute were manual maintenance of HR and Payroll related activities via excel sheets.
Lack of centralized HR, Poor data and operations management across geographically
scattered locations. There was a lack of employee self-service, lack of an integrated and
comprehensive recruitment and talent management suite. Data regarding the employees
was scattered and employee data was not integrated with core HR processes.
