OUR CUSTOMERS IN AOTEAROA WHO TRUST US
We selected Tribal as they met our business needs in a forward-thinking way. EBS offers powerful workflows, reporting solutions, integrated timetabling, and various stakeholder portals. It's a system that is focussed on delivering an excellent student experience and improves operational efficiency.
Wiremu Doherty, CEO, Te Whare Wānanga o Awanuiārangi
Since its implementation in 2013, EBS has played a central role in shaping the ākonga experience at NMIT and supporting the operational needs of our kaimahi through a reliable and consistent SMS platform. The EBS ‘toolkit’ enables us to tailor and deliver processes to the specific needs of our learners across our curriculum portfolio.
What truly stands out is the strength of our partnership with Tribal. Their proactive, collaborative approach has been critical as we’ve navigated significant sector changes and complex statutory reporting requirements with confidence. With clear visibility of the product roadmap, we see EBS as a long-term solution.
