SmartGuide® for Education provides you with the agility to quickly create online forms and data capture applications that reduce costs and increase the quality and integration of your data.

Web based applications and Software-as-a-Service based applications are increasingly becoming more prevalent in the education markets and the increased demand for product delivery and integration services is taking a resource toll on already tight budgets in the educational community. Maintaining all the required data elements from multiple systems and multiple formats whether electronically or by manual processes are creating inefficiencies and driving additional cost to maintaining and in many cases complying to federal and state mandated requirements.

Could you better understand the educational issues facing your district if your data was all in one place—or at least seemed that way? What if you could easily query “data stakeholders” from one place that would update several key databases? What if you could solve this problem without requiring costly additional technical staff?

Contact an Alphinat representative to discover how SmartGuide goes far beyond simple forms digitalization and can help you:

• Automate your most frequent forms and reduce administrative, printing and mailing costs.
• Capture accurate data, verify the integrity of that data, and integrate it into the disparate systems in your organization.
