Brief

As part of a strategy to help schools to plan, develop and deliver extended services and meet the five Every Child Matters (ECM) outcomes, Sandwell Metropolitan Borough Council had developed a series of basic Excel spreadsheets in order to collate data across the borough.

To replace the inefficient process of manually collating the data and processing reports, Sandwell Council approached Zonica about the development of a centralised system whereby schools could easily upload their data and produce subsequent reports.

Action

True to our unconventional no-specification process, we first met with Sandwell to discuss all objectives for the system. From this understanding we then designed the interface for every screen on the application from the login through to each individual task.

This process enabled us to present the interface and our understanding of the application workflow with greater clarity than a 150-page written document.

When moving onto the development phase our development team then understood the actual requirements for the system, allowing them to deliver the final working application quickly and accurately.

Result

• Easy to use system to allow schools to easily upload their extended services
• Centralised web-based system meaning
• Helping schools to achieve their ECM outcomes
• Ability to identify extended services within other schools in the area to the benefit of the children
• Accurate Borough-wide reports for Sandwell Council
