Trusted by thousands of users

Key challenges in education


  • SOPs and policy documents are often scattered across multiple outdated systems, making it difficult to find, enact or update the right procedures. 

  • Coordinating reviews, approvals, staff signoffs and version control can create administrative bottlenecks. 

  • Inefficiencies across policy management and operational workflows can contribute to deficits and financial pressures. 

  • Institutions must rapidly update policies to comply with reforms, such as the UK Higher Education Act or major U.S. education reforms, without disrupting operations. 

How SOPHIA helps

Centralise all policies and procedures in one platform

SOPHIA consolidates SOPs, regulations and institutional policies into a single, accessible platform. With AI-generated interactive process maps and enhanced search capabilities, staff can easily find and understand the guidance relevant to them. This centralisation promotes consistency and clarity across departments and campuses and ensures students always have access to the latest version.

Streamline reviews, approvals and version control

Automate policy workflows with review alerts, system-wide updates and clear version history. Track staff and faculty completion to save hours of meetings, paperwork and follow-ups, ensuring everyone is always working from the latest approved guidance.

Reduce manual updates and ensure compliance

SOPHIA’s AI can bulk update multiple policies to reflect changes in government regulations, funding requirements, or institutional rules, reducing errors and freeing staff from time-consuming manual edits.

Simplify mergers, departmental changes and policy integration

When departments restructure or institutions merge, SOPHIA AI analyses policies, recommends edits, centralises documents and ensures every staff member has access to the same version, maintaining consistency and clarity.

Enhance efficiency and oversight across teams

Dashboards give managers and administrators insight into which policies are being used, staff engagement and training progress. SOPHIA frees up hours each week, helping the institution run smoothly and more productively.

Stay inspection-ready with digital evidence and AI mock audits

All policies and procedures are version-controlled and digitally centralised, providing instant access to compliance data for audits, accreditations or regulatory inspections. SOPHIA Intelligence can run mock audits, identify gaps and suggest improvements, removing administrative stress.

The Challenge

Following the merger, City St George’s inherited multiple versions of policies and academic regulations stored across different intranet and SharePoint systems. This made it difficult to maintain consistency, manage updates or provide clear access for staff and students. Manual approval and publication processes were slow and ensuring documents were kept current in line with new regulatory changes was resource-intensive.
