Pythagoras to exhibit at BETT 2010 and will showcase Microsoft CRM for Education

Oct. 21, 2009 - PRLog -- Microsoft Dynamics CRM for Education provides the tools for easily creating and maintaining a clear picture of the information that educators and administrators need. Pythagoras has developed a solution based around Microsoft CRM that helps Universities, Colleges, Higher Education and School’s achieve their goals.

The pressure is growing on educational organisations to perform with the efficiency of businesses. Microsoft CRM for Education http://www.pythagoras.co.uk/microsoft_crm_education_and_higher_education.aspx
brings commercial effectiveness to the education sector developed for colleges, universities, schools and other education establishments. A customer relationship management (CRM) solution enables you to build closer relationships with your students, tutors and lecturers. It helps you improve your student recruitment and retention rates and, by combining data sets, lower the administrative burden.  This solution combined with all the usual features of Microsoft CRM creates a cost effective and flexible solution.

Pythagoras has a dedicated CRM business unit dedicated to Education with 9 years experience of solutions for HE, FE and general education, focusing on holistic CRM solutions with a focus on integration to Student Record Management solutions, Enquiry management and marketing, Business to Business management, Mentoring schemes, Work Placements, Alumni and Development, Event Management across the establishment, CPD tracking and course booking and Business Process re-engineering wherever relevant. We can provide systems to manage one or more of these areas, but our ultimate vision remains that all data related to contact management be available for access and reporting through a single database – either through direct data input or via real-time integration to existing systems such as SITS, Unit-E, Banner, Raiser’s Edge, ThankQ etc.

To see a one to one demo of Microsoft CRM for Education at BETT 2010 go to the software zone and meet with Pythagoras at Stand SW104.

Microsoft CRM licensing for the Education sector is the most cost effective offering in the space, and is designed to provide maximum ROI for Schools, FE and HE for as little upfront investment as possible. Add to this Pythagoras’ quick start offering, saving Educational partners the initial days of development that are most time consuming, and the Year one investment required becomes something that can easily fit inside existing budgets, rather than be applied for in 2009/10 or require a business case presentation to board level.

About BETT
BETT was first launched as the “Hi Technology and Computers in Education Exhibition” in January 1985. It changed its name to BETT (British Education and Training Technology) a couple of years after that. In recent years the individual words that make up the BETT acronym have been dropped, and the event is now simply known as BETT.

The event originally featured 112 stands and took place in two halls at the Barbican Exhibition Centre, London EC2. It moved from the Barbican to the National Hall, Olympia in 1993 and was held in the Grand Hall for the first time in 1999.

2010 marks BETT's 26th year - the event now spans both the National and the Grand Halls at Olympia, featuring almost 700 stands and almost 30,000 visitors.
