Re-engineering the academic system at Cesur Formación

Cesur Formación, an educational institution with hundreds of programs and thousands of students, was running on disconnected systems and manual processes. We redesigned its academic system, integrated 5 platforms and brought the whole operation into one place.

Five different shapes around a glowing core, each linked to it by its own line of light.

Project results

The outcome

+70%

operational efficiency, with the entire academic system centralized

  • 80% of operational processes automated
  • 5 platforms integrated: Moodle, Office 365, payroll, marketing and ERP
  • A fully digital academic cycle, with online payments

Results reported by the client in the first year after implementation.

From chaos to order

From scattered systems to a connected operation

  1. Starting point

    The academic system was fragmented, with nothing integrated. The institution relied on manual processes and limited systems that did not talk to each other: the same information was entered in several places, and day-to-day work hinged on repetitive tasks.

  2. What we did

    We carried out a complete digital re-engineering of the academic system and integrated 5 platforms (Moodle, Office 365, payroll, marketing and the institutional ERP) on an infrastructure that centralizes and automates the whole operation.

    Instead of replacing everything, we connected the tools the institution already used, so each piece of data lives in one place and nobody types it in twice.

  3. Outcome

    +70% operational efficiency and a fully centralized academic system. 80% of operational processes, once manual and fragmented, are now automated.

    The academic cycle is now 100% digital, with integrated online payments, zero manual processes in administration and automated marketing communications.
