Our company has received more major contracts in Canada than any of our
competitors. These successes started in 1988 when, after an evaluation of
products available in Canada, Manitoba Education purchased a Provincial Licence
for all schools in that province. We are currently the largest vendor of school
administration software in that province.
In 1991, Alberta Education, after an extensive evaluation of software products
from across North America, chose our product as one of two products that they
recommended to the schools in that province. We are a major vendor in Alberta
with many school districts and private schools using our software.
Also in 1991, the Province of Prince Edward Island decided to purchase our
software for all schools, board offices, and the Department of Education. PEI
was able to install our software in all schools, train their staff, enter their
student data, and transfer all student data to the Department electronically
all within the first 10 months.
In 1995, the Superintendent's Council of the Southeast Kansas Education Service
Center endorsed our Outcomes Tracking software for their consortium of 75
school districts. This was the culmination of a year and a half process where
we made extensive modifications and additions to our software for the specific
purpose of tracking and testing Outcomes. The process included a beta test
period in which six schools used the software for four months. The procedures
that we instituted for this software development and testing were eventually
adopted by the consortium as their standard for software evaluation.
In 1995, the Department of Education in Nova Scotia contracted with our company
to provide a program to run in the Department offices to accumulate the data on
all students in the province. Also in 1995, as a result of a separate
evaluation process, our company became the only recommended vendor of school
administration software in Nova Scotia. In early 1996, the Department purchased
a Provincial Licence from our company for all provincial schools.
No other school administration software vendor has been as successful in
continually providing the best possible software to the Canadian market. We are
endeavouring to duplicate this success in other markets across Canada, the
United States, and around the world.
