Case Study: Ascham School achieves a personalised, integrated intranet hub with Elcom

Ascham School transforms its intranet with Elcom and 150+ layouts

Ascham School, a non-selective girls' day and boarding school, engaged vendor Elcom to transform its existing intranet portal, the Ascham Hub. The challenge was to modernize the five-year-old platform to be device-agnostic and deliver a more personalized user experience. The school's objectives were to provide an intuitive dashboard for staff, students, and parents, create a central communications hub, and streamline processes managed by Corporate Services staff.

Elcom implemented a comprehensive solution using a phased approach, which included personalized dashboards that pushed relevant notifications and events to users. The solution integrated with the school's management system, Synergetic, to automate workflows like medical form approvals. The results were significant, with the new Hub winning a Silver global intranet award. Elcom's work led to a single integrated platform for all communication, easy access to accurate information, and a reported significant increase in user engagement across the school community.
