SOMS (School Management System) represents a major leap in the evolution of school operations in the Middle East. Starting its operations in Saudi Arabia, the system was designed to meet the region’s growing need for modern educational solutions. Developed over 8 months, SOMS incorporates a comprehensive suite of features to support schools in managing their daily operations efficiently and effectively.
Prior to SOMS, schools in the Middle East faced several challenges, including outdated systems that were difficult to navigate, limited functionalities, and a lack of integration between various school departments. This fragmented approach led to inefficiencies and communication breakdowns between staff, students, and parents. SOMS was conceived to solve these issues by providing a unified, intuitive system that could handle all aspects of school management under one roof.
Via Solutions played a key role in turning the SOMS vision into reality. With a deep understanding of the educational landscape, we collaborated closely with the SOMS team to design a solution that would meet the unique needs of schools in the Middle East. Our approach involved the following key components:
SOMS includes a robust user management system that features 14 different user personas, each with tailored dashboards and access controls. From the School Director to Finance Admin and Parents, the system ensures that everyone has the appropriate level of access to manage their respective roles efficiently. This role-based approach streamlines the management of students, staff, and school activities.
To accommodate the diverse population of the Middle East, SOMS includes multi-language support, allowing users to choose their preferred language. This feature ensures that all users, regardless of their linguistic background, can interact with the system comfortably and effectively.
SOMS is designed to handle all aspects of school management, including:
The successful launch of SOMS in Saudi Arabia marks the beginning of a new era for school management in the region. With its comprehensive features and user-centric design, SOMS has enabled schools to streamline their operations, improve communication, and provide a better experience for students, staff, and parents alike.
Via Solutions was proud to partner with SOMS in delivering a solution that is set to revolutionize how schools in the Middle East manage their daily operations. With the successful deployment of SOMS, we have paved the way for future growth and innovation in the education sector. The SOMS platform is a testament to our commitment to creating impactful software solutions that meet the needs of today’s fast-evolving educational landscape.
