Case Study: Crystal Lake School District 47 achieves student account creation in days with Visual Click Software

Illinois School District Reduces Student Account Creation from Months to Days

Crystal Lake School District 47, a growing Illinois district with 12 schools and 9,000 students, struggled each summer to create and provision new student accounts. The process was highly manual and time-consuming, taking the network team about three months and requiring significant staff effort to prepare accounts for the new school year. Visual Click Software’s DSRAZOR products were used to streamline this work.

Visual Click Software implemented DSRAZOR for eDirectory and DSRAZOR for Windows to automate importing student records, organizing accounts, and reducing manual batch-file work. The result was a dramatic improvement: account creation dropped from three months to about one day per school, with the IT director noting accounts were created in roughly two weeks, and one staff member was redeployed to more valuable work in the curriculum area.
