We run three different schools under Omnispire Education. Each school has different curriculum and pattern of operations in terms of student profiles, billing, and collections. The quantity of data we have on our students, their parents and their finances is enormous, so we had to figure out a way to organize and manage it. We were able to successfully manage our financials and student-parents data efficiently on Oracle NetSuite.

KPI as our implementation partners played a key role in the successful rollout of NetSuite. KPI Team could understand our complex operations and could deliver an efficient system that we wanted – the way we wanted. The sheer commitment and maturity of the team to comprehend our requirements and translating those to NetSuite was just phenomenal.
