Insight Digital Innovation empowers educators, students

Together with Microsoft and the Western Australia (WA) Department of Education, Insight’s Asia-Pacific Digital Innovation team created and implemented a student record management system built on Azure-based services in support of the School of Curriculum and Standards Authority (SCSA). The system collates data from teachers, students and school administrators across 1,100 schools for performance reviews, grades, awards, certifications, statistical analysis and administrative reporting while reducing SCSA’s carbon footprint.

Insight helped SCSA expand its recordkeeping from 60,000 students in grades 11-12 to more than 465,000 students spanning grades K-12. The solution unified legacy databases into a cohesive user experience, adding new security capabilities and cloud services within Azure to allow for future growth. Further, an improved student portal gives students greater access to exam schedules, extracurricular activities and their education certificates.

“We are thrilled to be recognized as a global finalist in the Microsoft Partner Education category. Over the last two years, Insight Asia-Pacific has heavily invested in developing repeatable intellectual property to deliver digital transformation outcomes for our education clients,” said Mike Morgan, vice president and managing director, Insight APAC. “Insight has helped a number of education institutions harness the power of the cloud, advanced analytics, cognitive services and intelligent agents so students and educators have better real-time insights to help them perform at their best.”

Microsoft awards are presented across 41 different categories, with finalists chosen from a set of 2,900 nominations from 115 countries.
