IT Solutions

We provide bespoke web and mobile phone based solutions underpinned by a robust hosting service supplied by one of the UK’s leading hosting centres – Iomart Hosting Ltd.

Our firsthand experience of working in Further Education (FE), at a large AO and for the previous regulator Qualifications and Curriculum Authority (QCA) means that we already understand your business drivers, processes and terminology.

In essence, we don’t just deliver an IT system – creatiogreen – we work with you to transform and improve your processes, controls and services. For example, behind the scenes we have a really passionate team who spend every spare minute devising new features to improve the experience of the creatiogreen users and our clients and which we provide free of charge to our clients (unlike other organisations in the sector).

It doesn't matter what the challenge is, we won't over complicate it - our teams are there to help your business deliver and they do not have sales targets; their role is to ensure that you get the solution that you really require.

creatiogreen is a powerful out of the box solution designed exclusively for the AO sector and which is acknowledged by people in the industry as the only system on the market that truly aligns with the operational needs of AOs in this rapidly changing and increasingly demanding sector.

It's an AO centric workflow solution that will support and reflect the documented processes you submitted to Ofqual and underpin these with automatic controls and audit trails as well as immediate updates to centre and qualification records (unlike other systems, there is no need to undertake subsequent manual steps which can result in incomplete audit trails).

It is qualification and framework neutral and can support both UK and overseas activities.

creatiogreen provides a flexible, scalable, future proof platform that enables you to meet the very latest regulatory requirements and ensures that your business processes and rules are supported and appropriately and effortlessly enforced.

It is also substantially more affordable than other systems on the market and you don’t need to purchase new hardware, software or user licences (unlike other solutions on the market).

Some key features within creatiogreen include:

AO focused Customer Relationship Management (CRM)

To protect your brand integrity and improve your services, creatiogreen comes with an extremely powerful, dynamic and automatically updated ‘centre CRM’ feature that has been designed exclusively for AOs.

It helps inform work plans, identify new business opportunities and threats, as well as providing robust evidence and audit trails to Ofqual of the appropriateness of your quality assurance arrangements. All available at the click of the mouse!

For example for each centre:

Current take-up and sales per centre and per qualification
Developments at centres in terms of new sales opportunities
Intelligence on competitor activities
Latest risk status and history across a range of activities
Details on the application of sanctions and the rationale for these
Their entire activity and engagement/contact profile and history
Key staff contact details per centre
Details of core staff and sites used in the delivery of qualifications
Billing and currency details
Latest certification, registration and sales figures per centre
Planned and historic visit details

Qualification Development

In the future AOs will need to ensure that their development arrangements are as streamlined and responsive as possible and consistently applied in accordance with procedures you have ‘banked’ with Ofqual and that’s why we designed our qualification development solution.

It is a robust and unique feature that has been designed by ex-regulatory staff and helps ensure that you can quickly and effectively develop qualifications to meet local and national demands in an ever more competitive and demanding market place.

Includes unit and qualification databanks and rules of combination features and controls
Immediately aligns with the internal processes, controls and procedures you submitted to Ofqual
Effortlessly covers all qualification types (eg SQA, NQF, QCF and non-accredited provision)
Secure and limited access to external parties, if required, such as SSCs or external consultants (eg unit writers) to review and/or contribute to qualification and unit developments
Capable of interfacing to Ofqual’s RITS system should they ever support such functionality in 2011/12 (currently this is being explored by Ofqual)
Supports the development of publications that require unit and/or qualification details and structures (eg specifications)

Overall the creatiogreen system and the approach we take delivers a variety of benefits to help improve your services and experience of their customers.
