A Tuesday on the legacy stack

Legacy stack

Tabs. Spreadsheets. Chase calls.

  • Five logins for SIS, attendance, fees, comms, reports.
  • Bursar reconciles last week's deposits on a Tuesday morning.
  • Permission slips chased one paper at a time, by phone.
  • Parents use WhatsApp because the official app keeps crashing.
  • Mid-term reports leave the building at 11 p.m. on Friday.
  • IT firefights when SSO drops; nobody knew until staff did.
On RunMyCampus

One thread. Six bells. Quiet.

  • One sign-in for the whole school day, across every role.
  • The ledger reconciles itself hourly — finance reviews, doesn't recompute.
  • Permission slips clear in five minutes via the link parents already have.
  • Messages stay on the official channel — auto-translated, audit-logged.
  • Mid-term reports auto-deliver at 3 p.m., footnoted and signed.
  • IT sees an SSO blip before staff feels it — and rolls back without a ticket.

Migration timeline

  1. 01

    Map your data

    We inventory SIS fields, fee ledgers, and comms history — nothing re-keyed blind.

  2. 02

    Dry-run

    Parallel import on a sandbox tenant; staff validate before cutover weekend.

  3. 03

    Switch

    Phased go-live bell by bell — the staffroom should not feel the day it changed.
