We leverage the GES Methodology to help educational institutions define a clear strategy for achieving business objectives while implementing the right education technology solutions. In addition, we assess the current environment and determine how future technology solutions will impact client institutions. Our service offerings for education institutions include:

We understand that it is critical for educational institutions to keep accurate and reliable data while managing core administration processes. GES helps organizations effectively implement Oracle/ PeopleSoft Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) solutions covering campus and student information, human resources, financial management, self-service and portal solutions.

Many institutions are struggling to establish a single source system of record for constituent information. Oracle's enterprise master data management (MDM) suite of products consolidates and maintains complete, accurate, and authoritative master data across the enterprise and distributes this master information to all operational and analytical applications as a shared service. MDM applications manage customer, supplier, product, and financial data using data governance services, along with supporting world-class integration and BI components.

GES implements MDM and provides education institutions with the configurable tool sets they need to extract, from an array of data sources, relevant information that is essential to strategic decision-making at various levels of institutional leadership. Our dashboard enables real-time predictive analytics, proactive intelligence and alerts, analytical reporting, ad-hoc queries and more.

Our pre-configured solution interfaces with Oracle/PeopleSoft and other ERP systems to enable the building of a robust, multidimensional data warehouse architecture in a matter of weeks or months, depending on customization needs. Our BI solution is interactive and action-oriented, offering capabilities for development of user-friendly, high-level reports, and upward and downward drill-through for detailed analysis. It collects data, measures performance against targets and alerts users, enabling them to take timely action.

Maintenance and support of legacy systems continues to become increasingly difficult and expensive. Institutions supporting legacy systems face such challenges as a scarcity of trained personnel, growing license and maintenance fees, and connectivity problems. GES helps such education institutions migrate from legacy system applications and databases to modern industry-standard platforms and systems. After conducting a full ecosystem assessment of the legacy data, we utilize industry-leading automated migration tools, proven methodologies and expertise to bring each modernization project to a successful completion. Our legacy modernization solutions increase flexibility while creating efficiencies and cost savings and reducing business risks.

Our GES managed services proactively manage the whole technology stack, including the IT infrastructure and Software applications and databases, and also provide performance monitoring.

By engaging GES as a partner to manage commodity services, institutions can better focus on their core missions, and can leverage the cost reductions and improved service levels achieved through the economies of scale that we bring to bear. Some of the benefits of |GES to institutions include increased operational efficiency, reduction and improved control of operating costs, and minimized system downtime.

A number of components of our core services can be offered to institutions as stand-alone offerings. These include:

GES fcan provide school systems and districts with solutions enabling shared services that reduce the costs of administrative functions, freeing up existing budget dollars to be directed to learning activities and producing higher service levels for the price than can typically be managed on an internal system. Such services include:

The first step in any successful IT implementation is to ensure that the current environment is prepared for change. Our assessment teams mitigate project risk by collaborating with clients to audit, assess and report on operations. Using best practices, our teams perform comprehensive capability reviews of:

Our assessment teams also determine if the client’s current technology infrastructure is adequate to meet the requirements of the IT initiative, as well as the needs of faculty, staff and students. Operational Assessment covers:
