So many functions and processes in school are made more accurate and efficient using a well-designed computer application

Our work is tailored to your precise requirements
One senior manager said recently, "I like the 'it can be done' approach"
Using an Intranet / Internet based application can be an ideal solution for handling data within your organisation
Examples include: test scores, academic reports, document repository, attendance records, stock control, inventory, calendar of events, online ecommerce
User rights can be configured to control who is able to view, add, edit and delete items of data
You may need an application to be available over your local network, e.g. a calendar or resource booking application
You may need an application to be used by members of your organisation at separate locations, e.g. a document repository
You may want an application for use by the general public from any Internet connected computer around the world, e.g. an online shop, a forum
The Internet is not just about static pages of information, however well-designed and attractive
To keep a site fresh and to encourage visitors to return again and again its content should be dynamic
Content addition and update can be carried out by a user / users within your organisation using simple on-screen forms
All types of content can be managed in this way, from simple changes to text, updating prices or descriptions to uploading pictures, sound and movie files
Many organisations need to share sets of data between a number of users - e.g. academic results, sales figures, inventory and stock data
A network-based solution means that data can be stored and maintained in one place and all users have access to the most up-to-date information
With a browser-based, Internet data solution users are able to access data from any connected machine in the world
Internet transactions are transferred over network cabling and hardware, often routed via a number of servers on the way
It is possible for data to be intercepted and used for criminal purposes
Sensitive data can be transferred in encrypted form over certificated secure links using the 'https' protocol, as used by most ecommerce sites and online banking applications
Web based forms are targets for automated hacking attacks
You can certify genuine form submissions using PIN codes, as in Internet banking, or using the 'Captcha' method
