Microsoft Dynamics CRM isn’t a product or solution that you’d normally think about for STEM, K-12 education. Unlike in a traditional CRM deployment, there are no opportunities or a sales pipeline. STEM (science, technology, engineering, mathematics) is all about hands-on learning in schools, using math and science kits. So, what does Dynamics CRM, STEM and education have in common?
Dynamics CRM is BIG for STEM and education and has more in common than you might think.
STEM organizations normally support hundreds of schools, thousands of teachers and their certifications, multiple warehouse stocking locations, inventory, kits, kit refurbishments and more. There just wasn’t a solution to fit all of the requirements….until now. We have taken Dynamics CRM to a whole new level and STEM organizations nationwide are benefiting – BIG TIME!
Designed using the Dynamics CRM platform, WIMS for STEM is a built for K-12 and tracks all aspects of STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) hands-on learning centers. The solution is made up of a custom Dynamics CRM solution and an integrated Windows Mobile barcode scanning application.
The Windows Mobile Barcode Scanning App allows seamless integration with . Each task that would be performed in the warehouse can be done using WIMS Mobile.
WIMS for STEM was initially developed and customized to serve the needs of the State of Alabama (AMSTI) and has since been deployed to a total of SEVEN states/districts who serve K-12 (education) including Indiana, Delaware, and New Mexico. AMSTI (Alabama Math and Science Technology Initiative) tracks inventory and kits in 11 warehouses across the state. ()
WIMS keeps the majority of the core entities included with Dynamics CRM and removes the unused entities. New entities include schools, teachers, certifications, etc. In the end, STEM organizations can accurately and efficiently track and report on all aspects of their STEM hands-on learning programs.
Now, STEM organizations can go from using outdated database systems and spreadsheets to a Microsoft interface that everyone knows and recognizes. Our WIMS customers rave about how the solution saves them time and money and automates processes that they didn’t even know could be automated.
This is a real solution that is transforming how these science and material centers do business on a day to day basis. Dynamics CRM is playing a large role in the future of education. The states that in a world that’s becoming increasingly complex, where success is driven not only by what you know, but by what you can do with what you know, it’s more important than ever for our youth to be equipped with the knowledge and skills to solve tough problems, gather and evaluate evidence, and make sense of information. These are the types of skills that students learn by studying science, technology, engineering, and math—subjects collectively known as STEM.
There is an emphasis on promoting STEM education experiences that prioritize hands-on learning to increase student engagement and achievement. , designed for Dynamics CRM, helps ensure each school, classroom and teacher is equipped with the material to give students the chance to study and be inspired by science, technology, engineering, and math.
