SAP BRIM Success Story in Education Industry

Cogna Educação, founded in 1966, is one of the world's leading educational organizations and the largest educational company in Brazil by the number of students (more than 2.4 million). Formed by institutions such as Kroton, Platos, Saber, and Vasta Educação / Somos Educação, the holding company offers solutions and services for both the B2B and B2C segments.

Before implementing SAP BRIM, they faced the following business goals and challenges:

• Implement a flexible, scalable platform to replace old legacy systems and gain control of the billing process.
• Apply a large volume of custom discounts and installments.
• Lack of a single view of the student's financial situation (360º view).
• Obtain a shorter Time to Market in new consumer products to be launched.
• Centralize the billing of the three Academic systems: Olimpo, Collaborate, and SIAE, with integration with Totvs.

• The new offering simulator for all Cogna units and courses enables its sales force to have standardized and flexible pricing.
• Standardized pricing of tuition fees.
• Increased ability to create specific commercial conditions for each student.
