About the Client

UNICEF is a global humanitarian organization committed to advancing children’s rights and well-being. One of its key initiatives includes  strengthening educational systems across countries by digitizing education data operations. The organization sought a centralized, scalable, and configurable Education Management Information System (EMIS) to track and manage student and staff records from the school to the national level.

Challenges

Despite its global reach, UNICEF faced critical technical and operational challenges in standardizing education data systems:

Performance or Efficiency Issues

• Lack of centralized control across multi-tiered educational systems
• Time-intensive configuration across deployments in different countries

Access/Security Gaps

• Need for secure login and role-based access across user types and countries

Scalability or Maintainability Bottlenecks

• Difficulty adapting the system to diverse country-specific requirements
• Lack of configurable themes for UI customization

Integration or Data Flow Issues

• Need for smooth integration with existing government and school systems

UI/UX or Workflow Limitations

• Lack of user-friendly views and onboarding processes for non-technical users
• Absence of a clean installation wizard for seamless adoption
