MANILA -- Starting a new company is always one of the hardest things any entrepreneur can attempt to do.

Niel Dagondon, founder of the three-year-old Edusuite, the next-generation campus management program, can readily attest to that.

In case one tracks the history of Dagondon’s past ventures, there is a pattern that they are all inter-connected and all are industries he is passionate about.

After 14 years with Anino Games, Dagondon continues to be on top of his game, co-founding an educational technology startup that has helped schools operate fully amid the pandemic. Edusuite was born out of Dagondon’s experience working in a college where, he found out, a lot of the software available to local companies were either outdated, need a lot of customization to be usable or simply too expensive.

Dagondon is the company president of Edusuite, that takes the registrar system away come enrollment time in schools. “The goal is to implement full online enlistment, enrollment and advising without having a single student or teacher go to school,” Dagondon pointed out. “At present, there are 10 schools in our client list, but there are more than 2,000 colleges and universities in the Philippines and even more than 3,000 private schools in K-12 that are in need of our services,” Dagondon said.

Luckily, the quarantine period has a silver lining for us as it helped accelerate schools to change their way of thinking. Suddenly, what was a ‘nice-to-have’ for schools such as having an online process became a ‘must-have.’”
