How MasterSoft Enhances Data Management for U.S. Institutes

We have seen educational institutions maintain their records manually over the years. However, with increasing digital solutions, these processes became obsolete and unsafe too. The manual records were prone to errors and often led to operational delays. Also, after the terrible COVID 19 years, the need to switch to digital solutions arose like never before. In this digital age, data management is a critical component for all educational institutions.

Data management covers every aspect from maintaining student records to administrative tasks. US educational institutions ranging from K-12 schools to higher education institutions, handle a vast amount of data. Managing this data can be tremendously challenging as far as the safety of the data is concerned.

Challenges for Educational Institutions in Managing Data

Though the United States is a developed country, it faces its fair share of challenges when it comes to data management, especially for the education sector. Let’s see a few of them:

Data Security :

There are a number of government regulations that the educational institutions must adhere to. Some of the regulations are FERPA (Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act), HIPAA (Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act) and other state laws depending on the location of the institution. This is considered critical and any data breaches or unauthorized access is faced by severe consequences.

Fragmented Data :

Many educational institutions in the United States use different platforms for maintaining different records. They manage student data, financial records, faculty data and learning management systems differently leading to data silos and inefficiencies.

Scalability Issues :

Institutions grow over time by introducing various courses and taking in an inclusive population of students. The software and platforms do not offer such flexibility and scalability. It is expected that the data management solution should scale up with the growing organization without hampering the ongoing performance.

Erroneous Manual Processes :

As mentioned earlier, the manual processes are becoming obsolete in this digital world. They are also prone to frequent errors. Hence, without a digital solution, there is an increased risk of errors, inefficiencies and administrative burden to top it all.

Data-Driven Decision Making :

Institutions these days need to plan ahead for the future. For that they would need strong reporting systems along with real-time data. The outdated manual methods fail to provide the same. Hence, it becomes imperative for adopting a digital solution.
