Over the years, OnePlace has acquired many accounts from schools, either in our area or around the country. These school accounts range from managing offices of communications to managing collaboration in an MBA-level business class. Some of our school accounts include MidAmerica Nazarene University, and the University of Minnesota’s Waller Lab and Academic Health Center.

Even before we started offering OnePlace free of charge to non-profits and schools, we saw a large group of our accounts coming from schools and educational institutions. It’s interesting to wonder what exactly could be causing these schools to find OnePlace and to start using OnePlace. Is it because it’s easy to use? Is it because it fits well with their processes? Or is it just because smarter people use OnePlace?

We aren’t trying to say that only educated individuals are smart enough to use OnePlace for their team collaboration and business organization needs. But there are traits exhibited by those in an educational setting that also are exemplified in a professional setting. This is what we see carried over between our business accounts and our school accounts.

So why would schools and students choose to use OnePlace?

They like to be organized
Academics and organization have always worked hand-in-hand. Because OnePlace keeps users and information organized, it makes a lot of sense to use OnePlace in educational facilities.

They are forward-thinkers
Those who are seeking higher education tend to think ahead. They have long-term goals and know what milestones need to be met before they can move ahead. OnePlace aids in this planning and achievement process by offering detailed projects and deadlines.

They enjoy learning
You’ll be hard pressed to find someone in a MBA or Doctoral program who doesn’t enjoy learning. Because of this fascination for the new, these students and those working in educational institutions will enjoy using OnePlace and learning how it can help them in their personal and professional lives.

They work well as a team
These days, teamwork is crucial to educational success. Working together as a team not only produces great collaboration skills in students, but gives them skills to work well in a professional setting. OnePlace facilitates open collaboration and communication between team members across distances or right next to each other, allowing for strong relationships to be built and work to be completed together.

They like to manage work and deadlines
If you aren’t following some sort of deadline in a class or an educational office, there is definitely something wrong. OnePlace can help manage all deadlines and all tasks to ensure they are completed on time.
