CEON Solutions launches multiple intelligence EPM

Ahmedabad-based integrated Education Process Management (EPM) solutions and consultancy provider CEON Solutions has launched a multiple intelligence specific iSchool product for the Middle East.

"This is for the first time that an Indian EPM provider has launched an EPM specifically for multiple intelligence curriculum. We have bagged the first such project for Middle East including Dubai, Abu Dhabi and Sharjah," said Abhay Panjiyar, founder and managing director, CEON Solutions. Under the project, CEON Solutions' iSchool product will be required to automate all academic processes of the schools in the three cities.

However, CEON Solutions will be only able to launch a multiple intelligence based product in India by April. "Currently, only international schools have multiple intelligence activity based curriculum. Once such curriculum is planned in India, we should be able to launch such products by April 2011," said Panjiyar.

Project cost of each such iSchool installations in Dubai, Abu Dhabi and Sharjah will be around Rs 12-15 lakh. The company plans to install complete academic automation and management processes within 3-4 months. Moreover, going forward, the company plans to offer the product in the US and African markets as well.

According to Panjiyar, in all CEON Solutions aims at implementing multiple intelligence based iSchool solutions in 100 schools.

In Gujarat, CEON Solutions is working with Hewlett Packard (HP) Educational Services to reach 10 major higher education institutions for its EPM product for colleges - iCampus.

The product iCampus will provide an online platform for all activities on campus and its various tools are designed to achieve education, transparency, accountability and e-Governance in institutes. Among several institutes in Gujarat that CEON has approached for iCampus include IIM-A, National Institute of Design (NID), Gujarat University, Nirma University and Chandragupta Institute of Management.

While the company is already targeting a turnover of Rs 2-3 crore for the financial year 2010-11, by next year CEON Solutions expects the number to go up to as high as Rs 10 crore. Currently, the company caters to over 50 schools and five colleges in India.
