2. ABOUT US
• We are a small group of entrepreneurs who dream big and intend to
change the way that administrative software is sold and implemented
in schools and districts today. For years we have watched large
commercial education software companies continue to provide poor
software that is proprietary and horribly expensive to a market that
has little budget and few choices. We have been witness to botched and
failed implementations that waste precious education budget dollars
that should be going to the classroom and student instruction. And we
have decided to change all of that starting right now. How? By
providing quality alternatives to commercial software that are
economical, easy to use and completely open. We are giving our clients
freedom and control over their software solutions.
• We have big dreams, a lot of passion about what we do and the
personal willpower to get it done. We aren’t working for venture
capitalists or angel investors. We are working for the good of education
and more specifically, we are working for you, the individual educator.
We intend to change the business model of administrative education
software and force the large commercial companies to change with us.
And in doing so, education wins and most importantly, students win
and that keeps us here day in and day out working for you.
