<body> <p><b>MicroCompass in Education</b></p> <p>"Our aim is to make a difference by partnering Institutions and enabling them to improve processes and outcomes through the application of IT by skilled practitioners"</p> <p><br> MicroCompass is a leading supplier of Administrative software solutions to Further and Higher Education establishments in the UK, as well as the Australian TAFE community. We continue to subscribe to the philosophy of market development through specialisation, which dates back to 1990.</p> <p>From CRM, Student Administration and through to Financial and HR our vision for the future is one of partnership – a partnership with our Education customers to provide an appropriate software solution to their changing needs. This is based upon the changing attitude towards the use of information held within the Institution.<br>  </p> <p>If the right information is available, to the right person at the right time, decisions can be made with the confidence of objectivity. This can have an impact in areas as diverse as purchase order processing by budget holders, course design and costing by curriculum managers and temporary contract provision by personnel staff. Fundamental to this approach is the integration between the Student, Human Resource and Financial record and the ability to extract relevant information across these applications. <br>  </p> <p>To accomodate this approach the QL range of software solutions is unique in that it has been developed by and is owned by MicroCompass. The modular construction caters for a phased introduction of the software where required. Seamless integration ensures that data is captured once and shared across all disciplines within the Institution. <br>  </p> <p>Our applications are designed to create a software solution, which is unique to each market sector, ensuring that the individual requirements of Further and Higher Education can be realised in an affordable and efficient manner. Component based object design ensures that the systems can be fully web enabled, offering both browser based intranet and student based extranet access. <br>  </p> <p>A constant theme throughout our approach is:- <br>  </p> <p>"Integrated Solutions for Institution Wide use."<br>  </p> <p>Currently we are working closely with a number of Institutions, where we are crafting a long term vision of integrated solutions. This philosophy extends to partnership solutions associated with :- Managed Learning Environments, Library Management Systems, Resource Scheduling, Timetabling Solutions etc. <br>  </p> <p>QL will continue to develop and the concept of the virtual campus will be brought a step closer with the web enablement of QL solutions. Together with the development of the “workflow” techniques already available within QL, the web enablement of appropriate modules will ensure that MicroCompass and the QL software portfolio will remain in the vanguard of suppliers to the UK Education sector.<br> </p> <p>How to Contact Us<br> </p> <p>Company Postal Address</p> <p>MicroCompass Systems Limited<br> Riverside House<br> Normandy Rd<br> Swansea<br> UK<br> SA1 2JA</p> <p>Main Switchboard</p> <p>TEL: +44 (0)1792 524524<br> FAX: +44 (0)1792 524525 </p> <p> </p> </body>
