Evaluation framework

Six questions to ask any school ERP vendor

Whether or not SquareCampus makes your shortlist, these are the questions that separate a real platform from a demo that falls apart in production.

01

Is it one system or many modules?

Ask whether every module writes to the same record, or whether integrations keep separate products in sync. Sync gaps are where data drift and reconciliation work come from.

02

Can you verify the infrastructure?

Ask for the hosting region, the uptime SLA, and the audit posture — in writing. A vendor that publishes these is easier to trust than one that answers 'it's secure.'

03

Is the pricing transparent?

Ask what's included versus billed separately: mobile apps, each module, support, training. Headcount pricing with everything included is easier to budget than per-module upsells.

04

Who runs and secures it?

Self-hosted means your team owns hosting, security, and upgrades. Managed means the vendor does. Decide which your institution actually has the capacity for.

05

What does the intelligence layer actually do?

Ask whether 'AI' means a governed layer that respects roles and logs every query, or a chatbot bolted onto reports. Governance is what makes it safe for a school.

06

How long, really, to go live?

Ask for a week-by-week rollout plan with migration, training, and a parallel run — not a vague 'a few months.' A concrete plan is a sign the vendor has done it before.
