eNrol

The diverse computing infrastructure that many education establishments now deploy has developed to allow best of breed point solutions to be utilised. Although these dedicated applications solve specific organisational and administrative issues, they actually create new problems with regard to managing the synchronisation and security of information across the systems.

This problem is more pronounced at set times of the year particularly during enrolment when massive additional resource usage is usually required. When a new student enrols you will typically need to manually enter the same identity information many times across all your different systems.

In addition, the onus on the user to remember multiple ID's and passwords means that passwords are often forgotten, leading to IT administration staff spending a considerable amount of time dealing with password resets.
