Feedback from our customers
“The immediate difference is the interface - modern and responsive it is a refreshing change from the static grids we were previously used to ... The ability to go from top level measures to aim and learner level detail within one screen, with almost no loading times speaks volumes for the understanding the guys at Strata have around what providers need to quickly access and interrogate their performance data.”
“It was great to catch up with the team at Orbital ... following the Strata demo SMT were very impressed. Strata is now providing SCCU Group with all the performance data at our fingertips, leaving no stone unturned.”
“Strata is a breath of fresh air in the analysis of student and performance data. The use of dashboards and graphs in place of data tables has made our QAR data accessible to all staff across the College. The team at Orbital have been very supportive from the outset, and are very quick to respond to any questions.”
“As a 3000+ learner multi-centre organisation with a new and rapidly increasing Apprenticeship provision, Strata will give our nationwide staff easy to use at-a-glance dashboard and graphical representation of our performance across four funding streams... The Orbital support is second to none.”
