Pragya Systems
Pragya Systems has launched a new class of higher education technology focused on dramatically simplifying the flow of information on and off campuses for students, faculty, administrators, alumni, and employers.
On-campus enterprise systems do not provide uniform ways for information to travel to students struggling to feel connected, relevant, and moving toward employment and careers. Campuses have very little insight into how their curricula maps to workforce needs.
The Pragya solution is a logical extension of how information, discovery and analysis operate off campus in the consumer and commercial sectors – purpose-built to solve problems in educational institutions.
