Question 2What does an AI transformation programme in education and schools start with?

It starts with the revenue, cost and cash you are losing today, read from the systems you already use. One workflow goes first, usually price and margin, read from purchase ledger by school and supplier and category.

Question 3How fast do education and schools companies see results from AI?

A two-week pilot on one department finds the value and money in your own data before you commit. Your first project goes live, and its money is delivered, by Day 30.
