When STADIO Holdings split from Curro and listed separately on the JSE in 2017, it became the parent to a strong portfolio of institutions, including The South African School of Motion Picture Medium and Live Performance (AFDA), Milpark Education, Southern Business School, LISOF, Embury and Prestige Academy, with operations that stretch into Namibia. But while some of the Private Higher Education Institutions (PHEI’s) were well established, the group itself was brand new, and building integrated systems became a priority. This included everything from student information and management systems (SIMS) to financial reporting.
