Challenge

Before implementing Education360, Penola Catholic College faced challenges leveraging student data. The data was scattered across multiple sources, making it difficult and time-consuming for educators to collect and access necessary information about their students.

This abundance of data across multiple disparate systems also hindered the ability to synthesise and analyse it to gain meaningful insights. As a result, educators struggled to identify at-risk students and provide timely support, leading to potential gaps in student learning and growth.

Solution

To address the challenges faced by Penola Catholic College in effectively leveraging student data, 9X5 implemented their premier data analytics, monitoring and visualisation tool, Education360.

Utilising the powerful capabilities of Domo. Education360 serves as the centralised hub for all student data, bringing together information from various sources into one comprehensive dashboard.

Education360 was specifically tailored to address Penola’s main pain points, taking into account their unique challenges. It seamlessly integrated both on-premise and cloud-based data, ensuring that staff members could easily access and utilise the data they needed.

Additionally, the platform offered the ability to annotate within the data itself, facilitating collaboration among staff members and enabling them to hold themselves and students accountable for progress. Whether they needed a class summary or wanted to drill down to individual student profiles, the platform allowed educators to visualise and analyse data, enabling informed decision-making quickly.

Impact

Implementing Education360 at Penola Catholic College has significantly impacted the school’s ability to leverage student data and address the challenges they faced effectively.

The consolidation of data from multiple sources into comprehensive dashboards has streamlined the process of collecting and accessing student information. Educators no longer need to spend valuable time searching for data across disparate systems. The centralised hub provided by Education360 allows for efficient data retrieval, saving time and effort for educators.

“We had data in ten different places, forcing staff to go to ten different locations to find out everything they needed to know about their students. It was too much to expect.” Anthony Austin, IT Manager, Penola Catholic College

By synthesising and analysing the collected data, educators can now identify trends, patterns, and areas of improvement more effectively. This has enabled them to proactively identify at-risk students and provide timely support, closing potential student learning and growth gaps. The ability to drill down to individual student profiles has allowed educators to understand each student’s academic journey better and personalise their approach to support their unique needs.

Another positive impact of Education360 is the enhanced collaboration among staff members. The platform’s annotation feature facilitates communication and collaboration, enabling educators to share observations, strategies, and interventions within the data. This fosters a collaborative and accountable environment where staff members can work together to support student progress.

Education360 has transformed the way Penola Catholic College utilises student data. The centralised access to comprehensive data, coupled with powerful analytics and visualisation tools, has enabled educators to make informed decisions, tailor interventions, and provide targeted support to students.

Challenge

Prior to the involvement of 9X5, Goplay Commercial Playgrounds, a leading playground manufacturing company, faced challenges with its analytics and reporting processes.

The company operated on multiple platforms, resulting in a fragmented and inefficient system. The Managing Director spent significant time manually printing reports and gathering insights from various platforms.

This consumed valuable time and led to a need for more centralised and accurate data. Goplay needed a solution to streamline their reporting, improve data consolidation, and enable more efficient decision-making.

Solution

9X5 implemented a solution that involved transitioning to a paperless office and leveraging Zoho CRM and Domo. Zoho CRM was set up as part of the transition to capture project data and provide project governance. The data from various operational systems, including Zoho CRM, was then consolidated onto Domo dashboards using Domo’s powerful built-in ETL (Extract, Transform, Load) tooling. This automation eliminated manual reporting and data collection, enabling real-time visualisation and analysis.

Domo’s comprehensive platform served as a significant tool for Goplay’s business decisions, providing insights into the company’s structural and financial aspects. The consolidation of data from multiple platforms into Domo dashboards allowed the executive team, including the Managing Director, to access the information they needed quickly and easily.

“What used to take hours per week now takes minutes. It’s fast. I see it, make decisions and execute.”
James West, Managing Director at Goplay Commercial Playgrounds

Impact

The solution provided by 9X5 has profoundly impacted Goplay Commercial Playgrounds, addressing the challenges they faced with their analytics and reporting processes.

One of the critical impacts of the solution is the streamlining of reporting and data consolidation. Previously, the Managing Director had to spend significant time manually printing reports and gathering insights from multiple platforms. With the combined efforts of Domo & Zoho CRM, this time-consuming process has been eliminated. The integration of Domo’s ETL tooling has automated the data collection and consolidation process, resulting in real-time data visualisation and analysis. This has significantly improved the efficiency of reporting, allowing the Managing Director and other stakeholders to access the information they need quickly and easily.

The centralisation of data onto Domo dashboards has provided a comprehensive platform for business decision-making. The executive team now has access to insights on the company’s structural and financial aspects in one centralised location. This has facilitated more informed and data-driven decision-making, enabling the team to make strategic choices based on accurate and up-to-date information.

The transition to a paperless office has also contributed to increased efficiency and reduced resource consumption. By eliminating the need for manual printing and physical document storage, Goplay has reduced its environmental footprint and improved overall operational sustainability.

The implemented solution has had a transformative impact on Goplay Commercial Playgrounds. The streamlined reporting process, improved data consolidation, and real-time data visualisations have saved time, enhanced efficiency, and enabled more informed decision-making. The adoption of a paperless office has not only increased operational sustainability but has also contributed to a more modern and efficient work environment.
