Here are 14 great reasons to choose MUSAC software.
Accreditation
MUSAC is a Ministry of Education accredited vendor of school administration software.
Experience
MUSAC software has been inspired by and specifically written for New Zealand schools. A large number of our programming, administration, support and training team have a wealth of teaching and administrative experience in schools. The practical nature of the software reflects this expertise.
Support
Our software is supported throughout New Zealand by a large team of trained professionals, available by phone, fax and email. Between MUSAC and its Authorised Agents we have over 100 people supporting schools. We visit schools for one-on-one and small group training, as well as running regular seminars in a number of venues throughout the country. Our website enables you to download the latest version of each package.
Longevity
MUSAC has been proudly supporting schools since 1989, growing and developing with you to constantly meet the challenges of today as well as the future. We plan to be here to support you for many years to come.
Market Share
Well over 75% of all schools in New Zealand are benefiting from the use of MUSAC software.
Backing
Massey University stands behind our software, ensuring long-term support. We are based at the Massey University College of Education (MUCE) along with Centre for Education Development (CED), Kanuka Grove and New Zealand Principal & Leadership Centre (NZPLC).
Consultation
We work in close consultation with a number of authorities particularly with various groups within the Ministry of Education, including NZQA and Data Management Unit.
Responsiveness
We listen to schools and other users who wish to have changes made to the software in order to reduce the ever increasing workload office administrators and educators constantly face.
Timeliness
Our helpdesk is open between 8:00am and 5:00pm each working day, including school holidays (but not nation-wide holidays). You can also contact a number of people on mobile, send emails or fax on 0800 500 159.
Updates
Sent out on a scheduled release cycle once thorough testing has been carried out.
Integration
All our modules interact with each other – input the data once and deal with it in a multitude of ways as often as you require. MUSAC allows you the freedom to select the modules which best suit the needs for each area of your school.
Flexibility
Customise the various modules to suit your specific (and changing) needs. Our software works well on single PCs as well as large networks.
Total Cost of Ownership
Our software and support have been based on what schools have realistically been able to afford over the years. The license fee is based on the size of the school. We remain committed to providing excellent software at affordable prices.
Conversions
We regularly convert data from a wide range of other systems. Our conversion charges are a fraction of the rate of other packages.
Site License Policy
As part of our realistic pricing MUSAC believes that once you purchase a MUSAC module you may install the software on as many computers within the same site AND on home computers for the purpose of using the software for school purposes.
