Educational institutions are making better decisions and adopting more efficient ways to facilitate college admissions and student management through Cialfo’s cloud based software platform. According to Cialfo, the admissions market in Asia is valued at US$4 billion a year.
Co-founded in 2012 by Rohan Pasari and Stanley Chia, Cialfo previously focussed on businesses that helped undergraduate studies. It has now added features on its platform to enable boarding schools, postgraduate and MBA application assistance. Cialfo’s software-as-a-service (SaaS) platform has enabled partners to save around 40% of their time by reducing administrative tasks and spend around 80% of their time (a twofold increase) on helping students improve on their applications, says Cialfo on data gathered in 2016.
“Our goal is to transform what was previously an archaic industry, with technology. In doing so, not only are we empowering students through our partners to find admissions in the leading education institutions worldwide, but also offer them the chance to find institutions which they may not have considered, in turn, making better, more informed decisions around their education journey,” said Rohan Pasari, Co-founder and CEO of Cialfo.
“We believe that our platform is revolutionising the college admissions process not just by improving efficiency of tasks but also by offering access to unparalleled insights which enable educational institutions and independent counsellors to better advise students on their admissions.”
Singapore's Ngee Ann Polytechnic takes a keen interest in adopting technology to positively impact aspects of student life as part of its Smart Campus initiative. Said Andrew Sabaratnam, Senior Director of Tech Innovation & Entrepreneurship, Ngee Ann Polytechnic, “As part of this initiative, NP’s Education & Career Guidance personnel are leveraging technology solutions such as Cialfo's university application management platform to streamline the consulting process and enhance the consultation experience for students.”
Kavita Mehta, CEO and co-founder of The Red Pen, one of India’s global education consulting companies said, “We have always emphasised a data driven approach and our ability to leverage technology truly distinguishes us. As we continue to grow and offer a range of services to address people’s higher education needs, we were looking for a flexible, mobile friendly platform that would enable our team members to seamlessly collaborate with parents and applicants around the world. Cialfo’s client engagement technology enables us to streamline and automate workflow, while continually improving communications.”
Cialfo will next look to expand its reach in the region by working with partners across Malaysia, Indonesia, and Vietnam. The company recently added over 50 new strategic partners to its portfolio – across mainland China, India, Mongolia, Singapore, Thailand and the UAE. Through Cialfo, partnering education institutions and consultancies can offer students and parents access, technological support and insights to the application process for over 3,000 educational institutions across 18 countries. Recently-added geographies include Singapore, Australia, Hong Kong, and New Zealand.
