Greycells – focus segments

While Greycells, as mentioned earlier, has already been implemented in different types of institues, it is best suited for large organization, multiple curriculum organizations which need comprehensive and  sophisticated solutions to meet their complicated needs.
Greycells focus segments are residential schools, large established school groups, single campus private universities and education conglomerates.
 
Greycells – residential schools

Residential schools focus on holistic development and growth of the students. Their mandate goes much beyond academic success. Holistic personality development, health, extracurricular activities, discipline among others form an integral part of the school’s activities. As a result the ERP’s that residential schools need are broad based solution and solutions that focus on student life cycle management are generally inadequate to cater to the needs of such schools.
Over the years Greycells (and e-IMS) have been used is many premium residential schools including Doon School, Dehradun; Mayo Boys’ and Girls, Ajmer; Welham Boys’s among others
