Please click on an organisation type to jump to that example:

Primary Schools

Primary schools commonly have little or limited ICT support, which can then lead to having issues when new students and staff start as there maybe a delay in creating their user account. With ActivMan the installation is easy, smooth, and quick, and will automatically create user accounts for new staff and students by synchronising with your MIS. There are installation and configuration guides available, as well as online support. Should it be required, then a remote session can be arranged to sort out any issues or even to install the system for you. All at no extra cost.

Secondary Schools and Higher Education

Secondary schools commonly have a full ICT technical support department whereby they make their own decisions on what systems to trial, install, and purchase. But even though they may have full time ICT staff there is still a very big headache of creating new staff and students when they arrive, not to mention creating a whole new year of students every summer. It can also be a pain keeping track of staff and students that have left so ActivMan will create and delete (optional) accounts to keep them up-to-date. With ActivMan the installation is easy, smooth, and quick, and would automatically create user accounts for new staff and students by synchronising with your MIS (SIMS.NET). There are installation and configuration guides available, as well as online support.

Small Businesses

Small businesses commonly have little or limited ICT support. In most cases it is probably provided by an external provider, which can then lead to having less ICT facilities available. Even though you are small you may have a high turnover of staff or you may need to create specific types of user accounts, e.g. sales, reception, etc. You can create a template for each staff type to make it as easy as possible to create new staff without having to set up each new account independently and unique everytime, which can introduce human error. With ActivMan the installation is easy, smooth, and quick, and would be very beneficial to non-network savvy personnel to create user accounts for new staff by using templates. There are installation and configuration guides available, as well as online support. Should it be required, then a remote session can be arranged to sort out any issues or even to install the system for you. All at no extra cost.

Medium Sized Businesses

Medium sized businesses commonly have in-house ICT support. In most cases this may just be a single person, but they make their own decisions on what systems to trial, install, and purchase. You may have a high turnover of staff or you may need to create specific types of user accounts, e.g. sales, reception, etc. You can create a template for each staff type to make it as easy as possible to create new staff without having to set up each new account independently and unique everytime, which can introduce human error.

There are installation and configuration guides available, as well as online support. Should it be required, then a remote session can be arranged to sort out any issues or even to install the system for you. All at no extra cost.

Local Authorities

Local authorities commonly have in-house ICT support, with some providing ICT support for schools in their authority. Decisions are usually made with all their schools in mind and to get the best value for all of them. But even though they may have full time ICT staff there is still a very big headache for all of their schools for creating new staff and students when they arrive, not to mention creating a whole new year of students every summer. With many schools in their authority this could be thousands. It can also be a pain keeping track of staff and students that have left so ActivMan will create and delete (optional) accounts to keep them up-to-date. With ActivMan the installation is easy, smooth, and quick, and can be either deployed to all of the schools to synchronise their local Active Directory network to their MIS, or to synchronise a central Active Directory network from their local MIS.

Should it be required, then a remote session can be arranged to sort out any issues or even to install the system for you. All at no extra cost.
