Why read these guides

Operational advice for school buyers

Principals, bursars, and IT leads use these articles to scope ERP rollouts and ask better demo questions.

  • Buyer guides, not brochureware

    Articles explain admissions pipelines, fee reconciliation, exam publish gates, and parent portals with the questions principals actually ask vendors.

  • Mapped to live modules

    Each post connects to Schoolyi capabilities, roster, calendar, fees, exams, so readers see how guides translate into daily workflows.

  • Ops-first perspective

    Written for bursars, coordinators, and IT leads running day schools, not generic edtech trend pieces.

  • Phased rollout advice

    Guides recommend which modules to launch first when you cannot rip-and-replace every team in one term.

How to use the blog

From guide to rollout plan

    Long-form posts walk through evaluation criteria, rollout order, and what to ask in demos.

  3. 3

    Open the matching module page

    Jump from the article to the feature pillar, capabilities, audiences, and FAQs for that area of Schoolyi.

  4. 4

Blog FAQ

Questions about Schoolyi guides and how to use them in your ERP evaluation.

Who writes Schoolyi blog content?+

Product and operations specialists who work with day schools on admissions, fees, exams, and family portals, not outsourced SEO copy.

Articles focus on the decisions and handoffs those teams need to evaluate in real school workflows.

Can I share articles with my leadership team?+

Yes. Guides are public with no signup.

Link directly to posts when building your ERP evaluation brief.

How often do you publish?+

We add guides when buyer questions repeat in demos, admissions cycles, fee collection, exam publish gates, and SMS comparisons.

That means the library follows recurring evaluation questions rather than a fixed publishing schedule.

Is there an RSS feed?+

xml for new articles on school operations and software selection.

The feed is the direct way to follow new posts without checking the blog index manually.
