Veracross is our one-stop shop for managing our student, faculty, and parent information. They enter the database at their first inquiry and travel seamlessly from inquiry to applicant to student to alumnus. Flexible online portals allow us to enable parents to gather needed information as well as pay bills and manage permissions online. Veracross is used by all departments in our organization--student billing, accounting, admissions, learning management system, academic documents and philanthropy. We also utilize their API for a few home-grown web apps.
- We have our own account manager who knows our school and its configuration
- Parent, student, and faculty portals (as well as news portals) are designed and configured by us--we can control what content goes where
- Infinitely configurable queries, which meet all of our needs for extracting data
- We would like to see more functionality in the learning management system
- We would like the ability to order the admissions files for our online reviewers
- Veracross has streamlined our systems because everything is in one database
- Eliminated the need for outside systems for smaller tasks (online giving, online admissions, etc.)
We have been with Veracross now for 10 or 11 years. Our previous student management system was Education Edge, Financial Edge, and Raiser's Edge by Blackbaud. The support at Blackbaud was probably what drove us away, as well as the fact that we had three different databases to keep in sync despite the fact that we were using the same vendor! Blackbaud was slow to implement any sort of database sync.

Bi-weekly meetings with our account manager, monitoring for duplicate records, approving address updates, configuring and publishing report cards, managing the calendar, helping teachers with their portals, helping students and parents with their needs, among other things. This comprises approximately 1/2 of my job responsibilities.

At the beginning of this year one of our divisions decided a week before school that they needed to switch to a different grading period to meet the needs of faculty and students during the pandemic of 2020. Veracross was able to make this happen!
