Zed Jamaica Partnership with FACTS SIS (Formerly RenWeb)
Zed Jamaica is the FACTS SIS (formerly RenWeb) partner for the Caribbean. We offer our schools a suite of technologically advanced solutions that will allow them to better manage their entire processes. We also provide them with effective staff training, technical support, and a host of other value-added services. Schools that make the change by effectively utilizing our products and services always experience an increase in efficiency, improved teacher performance, better parent engagement, reduced expenditure, and because of a reduction in time spent on operational processes, greater focus on their students’ performance.
Since we started the partnership with FACTS SIS over fifteen (15) years ago, we now serve over one hundred and twenty (120) schools in the Caribbean (Bahamas, St. Maarten, Cayman, Trinidad & Tobago, Barbados, St. Lucia, Grenada, Bermuda, St. Croix, Antigua, St. Vincent & the Grenadines, and Jamaica). We have also successfully trained over 4,000 teachers and administrators to utilize our advanced FACTS SIS technology and other integrated products and services.
Since COVID-19, our software has become one of the most sought-after School Information Systems globally. In the Caribbean alone, during the pandemic, we have trained an additional 2,000 teachers, administrators, students, and parents to use technology to continue learning and access school information during this crisis.
Our software and personnel seek to add value to the educational process by providing the means whereby schools boost efficiency, save money, provide better services to stakeholders, and enhance accountability. Our aim is to make available to Caribbean Schools, technology equal or superior to that obtained in other developed economies and to make that technology ubiquitous!

Demonstration of the FACTS SIS to the Former Minister of Education, Rev. Ronald Thwaites.
The FACTS SIS has been in use for over Fifteen (15) years in over four thousand (4,000) schools in over forty (40) countries. When it was first demonstrated in Jamaica, it was immediately touted as the most comprehensive school management system ever viewed locally. The FACTS SIS was successfully demonstrated to various education affiliated organisations (including the Jamaica Teachers Association), principals (including the Association of Principals& Vice-Principals) and the Ministry of Education (including then Minister, The Honourable Andrew Holness, present Minister, Reverend The Honourable Ronald Thwaites, the Permanent Secretary Mrs. Elaine Foster-Allen, the Chief Education Officer Mrs. Grace Mclean, the former Director of Information Technology Mr. Debon Panton and the Ministry’s IT Steering Committee). In addition we have also demonstrated the FACTS SIS to The Ministry of Education of Barbados and to the President of the Trinidad & Tobago Unified Teachers Association.
However, most satisfying are the several successful demonstrations to School Stakeholders and Communities, resulting in the implementation of the FACTS SIS in a variety of schools across the Island and in the Caribbean.
