School leaders, CIOs, and education departments are under increasing pressure to improve outcomes while reducing workload, complexity, and risk across their school networks. In this episode of EdTech TV, we speak with Steve Smith, Sales Director at Civica, about how better school operations can directly support better student outcomes. The conversation explores how schools can move from fragmented systems, manual processes, duplicate data entry, and administrative burden toward a more unified, insight-driven approach that gives teachers and leaders more time to focus on teaching, wellbeing, and student support. Steve also discusses the role of Civica Education Suite, a SaaS-based, web-based school management platform designed to help streamline administration, improve visibility, and support connected operations across schools and education systems. We also touch on the future role of AI in education, and why trusted data foundations, integrated systems, and clean workflows are essential before AI can deliver meaningful, safe, and useful outcomes. Topics covered include: * Reducing teacher and leadership administrative workload * Moving away from fragmented systems and manual processes * Improving visibility for earlier action on student needs * Supporting low-risk digital modernisation across school networks * Building the data foundations needed for future AI use in education * How operational improvement can support better student outcomes This interview is particularly relevant for school network leaders, CIOs, education departments, Catholic and independent school systems, and government decision-makers planning the next stage of school digital transformation.
