“We were implementing Veracross and didn’t know what we didn’t know. We needed an expert. Summit transformed our implementation”

— George T., Director of Technology
Episcopal School of Jacksonville (PK-12; 1400 students)

The Problem: SIS implementations are hard and impact your entire community

Do you know what to expect? Or the impact of certain decisions? Without experienced guidance, there are many reasons an implementation can go off track, wasting your time and money.

  • Veracross is a highly functional system with many features and functionality that are specific to its unique design. Unless you’ve used the system before, it’s hard to know what you don’t know.

  • Schools often are implementing their new SIS in addition to their normal day-to-day responsibilities. An implementation requires additional time, energy and resources for planning, data prep, prep meetings, configuration, data verification, training, rollout, and more.

  • A Veracross implementation will touch all corners of your organization - parents, teachers, students, admin, and more. Good communication (and a good communication plan) helps keep people informed about what’s happening and when.

  • Most people have never implemented Veracross before. Lack of experience (and lack of confidence when making decisions) will slow you down and has the potential to derail your implementation.

  • Producing bad data for importing into Veracross will lead to myriad issues and has the potential to have a long lasting negative effect on your implementation. Make sure to take the time to get your data right.

With 15+ years of Veracross experience leading over 100 implementations, you add expert guidance to your team.

✔ Enable people for success

✔ Gain immediate experience and SIS expertise

✔ Have an objective and extra resource for your team

Which approach is right for your school?

  • A. Go It Alone

    Some schools have the time and resources to handle an implementation on their own. However, most schools, even those with available personnel, don’t realize how much time an implementation takes.

  • B. Generic Consultant

    Hiring a generic consultant can help with the problem of time, but does not solve the problem of lack of system knowledge and potentially SIS expertise.

  • C. Veracross Expert

    With our 4-phase implementation approach, you’ll feel confident that the process will be on-time and successful.

The cost of going alone

Do you have the time to dedicate to your implementation? Have you implemented Veracross recently to know the pitfalls? Without outside help, it can lead to:

 


✘ Unhappy users & directors

✘ Internal user frustration

✘ Painful conversations with the Head of School

✘ Poor reflection on the school

✘ Everyone second guesses your SIS decision
