VULCAN is a leader in the area of hi-tech solutions for schools in Poland and has been setting trends in the development of technology in education, as well as continually raising the standards of its implementation and use. One such example, which has had a great influence within the IT tools in the education market, is the creation of the Standard of Student Description, which is now a commonly used format in Poland for recording basic data about students. In respect of assisting with day-to-day operations, schools receive support via Optivum solutions, a system specifically tailored to simplify the efficient management of their institution, including finance and student data. Thousands of schools use Optivum solutions in Poland, taking full advantage of the new possibilities of data collection and their use in management. The system empowers decision-makers to make real-time managerial decisions based on up-to-date data. Education management is not just limited to the operational activities of schools, and the process of implementing education strategy can happen at a local government level – hence the inspiration behind the vEdukacja system. At the heart of vEdukacja is a special platform, which integrates dedicated applications that can be used by the various education departments within the local government. Furthermore, the platform also delivers a powerful reporting function, in that it logs all processes that can be easily recalled for analysis.
