"The School Business Suite is an integral piece of everything we do, Between that and the student system, there is really no one individual or area of the school that isn’t touched or impacted by something related to Skyward on a daily basis."
"With Skyward, students have 24/7 access to all grades and missing assignments. Gone are the days of a student using “I didn’t know” as an excuse!"
“Our old system was archaic. For example, when doing reports, it showed all the job code language. Having to weed through all of that was difficult and confusing.”
“Having a centralized, online solution for district and employee information has been essential to our operations. Not only has it freed up our office staff and made reporting easier, but employees feel more empowered being able to take control of their own information.”
"I really appreciate Skyward’s culture. Their willingness to listen to customers and constantly push out improvements makes us truly appreciate the partnership we have created."
"Skyward's professionalism and commitment to their customers has been consistent and impressive. From sales to project management, we have established relationships that have led to a successful transition."
"Skyward helps our district save a lot of time for our business office by allowing employees to have access to their personal information, such as payroll, time off, etc."
“There was no common database, no place for data to start, and no place for data to be exported."
"Thanks to HBR 429’s partnership with Skyward and their use of the School Business Suite since 2013, McGuire’s team knew just where to start in their search for a more future-ready SIS. “We were very happy with our experiences on the financial side and were confident that a newer technology like Skyward’s Qmlativ® platform would alleviate some of the pains we had with our previous SIS."
"I feel as time goes on and new [enhancements] are introduced we will see more and more of an impact concerning efficiencies, Skyward has great potential in that the possibilities of things that can be accomplished within the software seem almost limitless."
"We selected Skyward because of what we see as the benefits from the efficiency. It brought us into the 21st century as far as software goes."
"Employee Management is the key to keeping payroll records accurate, The most obvious benefit is the reporting – no more building queries. Data mining is much more user-friendly!"
“Despite our previous information system having documentation on the database fields, it was still extremely difficult to query the database. We interfaced with various systems, but it’s definitely easier in Skyward. The database schema is so well-designed that I am usually able to write an integration interface in a couple of hours.”
"They can submit their own purchase requests directly into Skyward, enter their own budget transfers, monitor their own budgets, and more. That ability accelerates all of the various processes, reducing the time and resources involved."
"We need the ability to meet the new requirements of an Internet-driven society, and it is imperative that we have the flexibility to meet the rapidly changing needs of our users. We are confident that, with the help of Skyward, we will provide our member districts with the information and tools they need to drive continued success."
