The service should allow with what was declared to perform the calculation of assignments and once the process of calculating the assignments was concluded, publish through the web environment in the supporter’s portal, the detail of the assignments by teacher and establishment.

2. How was the Digital Transformation process in the Subsecretary of Education?

Since it would be a new platform, it was requested that this platform should be in the cloud, that the technological issue not suffer from obsolescence and that the software to be used be a world-class product that would allow the Subsecretary to only worry about functional development, leaving the issue technician was supported by experts of the brand of the product that was chosen. As a result, there is a robust platform, and the functional team has dedicated itself to improving functionality without having to waste time and resources on equipment and technical issues.

3. What was the reason for adapting Microsoft Dynamics 365 to the institution?

An RFI was carried out to the market that allowed identifying which technological tool would be most appropriate for the needs of those who cover the areas, looking as users at the supporters, teachers and the internal functional team of the Teaching Career that would be the administrator of the calculation results and give response to inquiries from teachers and supporters via a friendly CRM environment connected with tools such as Excel that allows downloading information in a very simple way. All of the above was covered by Dynamics365.

4. How was the roadmap of the Microsoft Dynamics 365 project?

The initial expectations were reflected in a first public tender that allowed us to develop the project in one year and the second-year continuous improvement. To date, calculation processes continue to be added to allow the automation of 100% of the allocations that must be calculated and then transferred to the supporters. One of the topics that helped us a lot was the rapid implementation of CRM functions that are connected to the query portal for teachers on Law 20,903, allowing responses to be managed in a timely manner.
