ESKADENIA, Amman, Jordan, July, 2007

The objectives of the project are to e-enable the internal and external operations of The Ahliyya School for Girls and provide a seamless streamlined integration of functions. This would in-turn leverage the administration performance of the school up to its best practices.

The first phase of the project, which was immediately kicked off upon the signing of the contract, includes the implementation of the Registration and Fees Management modules within DeniaSchool®, in addition to core modules within ESKADENIA® Business Manager; the Financial Management modules (General Ledger (GL), Accounts Receivable, Accounts Payable, and Fixed Assets), and the Human Resources (HR) Management modules (Personnel, Payroll, and Time Attendance).

The Registration and Fees Management modules allow the recording of all students and data in separate detailed profiles and provide the ability to manage fees payments and to directly update the relevant GL accounts in the Financial System. The Human Resources Management modules provide easy-to-use web-based tools to perform the daily HR school routines; they also cater for competence, training and management planning for the school.

The systems also provide comprehensive reporting capabilities with accurate up-to-date details concerning all the school’s functionalities. Reports can be retrieved according to users’ privileges and authorisation, as defined by the system’s administrator.

The next two phases of the project will include the implementation of cutting-edge modules within DeniaSchool®; Timetable, Fleet (Buses), Cafeteria, and Inventory Management systems.

The Fleet management module helps to achieve workforce optimisation by providing the tool to efficiently manage the school’s fleet, its maintenance, and distribution. The Cafeteria module on the other hand follows up on all transactions related to the school’s cafeteria and updates the GL module with all sales and purchase details.

The systems are built on the latest Microsoft.NET technology and platforms, applying an Object Oriented approach that concentrates on the business needs rather than the technical limitations embedded in some technologies. An Extreme Programming approach is also used, shortening lead time, lowering costs, and meeting customers’ quality standards and expectations. Accordingly, and due to the applied development methodology, all modules can fully and easily integrate with any other e-school management modules.

The contract was signed by Ms. Haifa Najjar, Principal of The Ahliyya School for Girls, and Ms. Doha Abdelkhaleq, Executive Director and Co-Founder at ESKADENIA Software; the first launching is expected to take place in three-month time.

“We are very proud to have been selected by the Ahliyyah School as their IT supplier. This automation aims at reaching a total integrated solution that would connect the whole school environment, reduce time and costs, and increase the school’s edge and customer satisfaction.”, said Doha Abdelkhaleq, Executive Director and Co-Founder at ESKADENIA Software.
