PIPs Extra is a powerful solution for non-teaching staff provisioning, built specifically for schools running TASS. By automating non-teaching staff account creation, PIPs Extra removes the manual workload for IT teams, ensuring that all non-teaching staff—whether Extra-curricular or Coaching staff—receive timely access to the resources they need, without the need for Active Directory manual setup.
