Your school's management data in the palm of your hand!

Groupcall Emerge enables schools to have an up-to-the-minute copy of their pupil & staff information instantly & securely accessible on all iOS devices (running iOS4.3+). Registration can be taken, behaviour & achievement can be evidenced* & student information (timetables, medical details, attendance etc.) can be accessed wherever staff require it, without relying on a desktop PC.

Groupcall Emerge is available in formats to suit the range of iOS devices. Emerge HD takes full advantage of the iPad's larger screen, allowing users to see more information on 1 screen, making it the perfect companion to the standard version of Emerge for iPhone & iPod Touch used more frequently in locations such as the sports field or on school trips.

Groupcall Emerge is the perfect solution to access information when & wherever it is needed i.e. in an emergency situation when access to the school is restricted or when the computer systems may be down; Emerge can help ensure student & staff safety.

Integration with Groupcall Messenger, or Schoolcomms, provides instant SMS messaging to student contacts, parents & staff at the click of a button where a suitable messaging subscription is configured.

With Emerge you can:

- Access data even when a school's SIS/MIS system is unavailable or restricted.
- Data is available online or offline.
- No need to rely on paper-based registers or records: The full school register is available, no matter where you are; in the playing fields, in the gym or even on a school trip.
- The school management system is automatically updated when the device is back within wireless range. Security is paramount with all data encrypted using AES (Advanced Encryption Standard).
- The device locks automatically when inactive & using two-factor authentication, can only be accessed again using a PIN code.
- In the event of an emergency situation i.e. fire, an instant communication route is available to contact school security personnel, medical staff, parents, Head teacher etc.
- Other features include instant access to all students' timetables, medical & behavioural details as well as the ability to record Behaviour & Achievement*.
- If a device is lost or stolen, Emerge can be remotely deactivated & all data wiped by an administrator. If the device has not been synchronised for a number of days all Emerge data will automatically be deleted on the device, even in offline mode (default is 5 days, but is configurable).
- Data can be restricted according to staff status, e.g. Administrators, Staff, SLT etc.
