K-12 Educators take note!

This is not my fist time to write about this particular topic, but I must repeat myself because one of the Public Relations clients has something gong that has true impact potential for schools. And do we need that or what?

The performance management solutions that Charlotte-based Mariner has been putting in place all over the US (and they have interest brewing abroad) are phenomenal. These guys use Microsoft technology to build dashboard solutions that give everyone from teachers to district and DOE administrators access to CURRENT data so timely and appropriate decisions can be made.

Charlotte-Mecklenburg Schools, Anson County School, New Hampshire Department of Education etc etc ... all are taking advantage of the kind of technology that Fortune 100 companies use to manage their educational environments.

This is something that should have happened long ago when companies first began to learn the value of business intelligence for data usage.

Very cool. Take a look at www.mariner-usa.com under the Education area.

They are sponsoring - with Microsoft - a second round of web sessions that include some of the decision makers in the districts and DOEs using their software. If you want to learn about it - it's free - sign up at www.mariner-usa.com.webseries.htm.

Jackrabbit uses videos to help people learn more about software

There is a company inthe Charlotte NC area that offers class management software to those that run dance and music schools, gymnastics and cheer gyms, dojo and swim schools, daycares and camps.
It is easy to use and has more features than any of its competitors. Even with all the features - it is web-based, fully secure, backed-up and supported 24/7 in the same facility as Piedmont Natural Gas, Lending Tree and many other Fortune 1000 or above companies.
But the coolest are the Jackrabbit videos. Go to www.jackrabbitclass.com and click on Videos. Take a look at any of the 28 videos that Jackrabbit offers free of charge from the site...
See how easy the software is to use? You can't mess up with this stuff! These guys have truly done this right!

The vidoes are available because Jackrabbit believes that the best way for its customers to learn the software is to have access to easy to understand help anytime they want to get to it. This also happens to be a genius way to market the software because anyone who looks, can see how "friendly" the software is. And what's better? No one has to wait on customer service to help train or explain!!

Check it out! Especially if you ahve one of the above-noted types of businesses....
