The problem
Unifying vital school, data management across multiple campuses
XCL Education has multiple campuses and each of them were using a different method of capturing & measuring data which created issues with consistency and accuracy across the network.
Within its Thailand, Vietnam, Malaysia and Singapore schools, XCL was using a combination of paper-based systems, a Phoenix school management system, Oracle campus system, Excel spreadsheets and a custom-built engagement management system (EMS). Having multiple systems created a logistical nightmare for the administration team at XCL Education when it came time to bring together their reporting during the semester.
XCL identified it needed a centralised cloud-based school management system that could consolidate all the data and create a single source truth.
The solution
Adopting Engage to ensure a one-system approach for schools
XCL Education partnered with Education Horizons to implement the Engage MIS for several of its schools in Malaysia. The group is now piloting Engage in schools across Vietnam.
Data consolidation was identified as a critical priority for the group. The ability for all schools to use a single system with all data in one place was essential, and the main reason XCL Education chose Engage. Lack of consistency across multiple systems and metrics is no longer an issue.
Engage offers fully integrated school management driving admissions, academics, performance assessment, reporting, holistic student care, administration and finance.
"Using Engage as our single source of truth we have been able to achieve consolidated data and reporting in a short timeframe, which gives us improved visibility of our schools' performance."

How Engage has helped
The Engage school management system has connected the XCL Education community with ease.
Teachers enjoy the new Engage user interface, making it much easier to use daily. It reduces their administration time, leaving more time for teaching.
Parents now receive regular updates and information via the Engage Parent Portal. This has significantly improved communication, a welcome change from the inconsistency of previous systems.
"The Engage user interface is excellent and has provided us with new functionality, particularly in the Parent Portal. We have significantly improved parent engagement and offered greater transparency by providing access via the secure Parent Portal and App. All of which is a huge benefit to our schools.
We would highly recommend Engage for your MIS."
Herman Verhoeven, Head of ITXCL Education, Singapore
