School Districts spend large amounts of money on computer software, hardware and IT support. An individual school district’s systems have become more complicated than the systems most businesses use. These systems provide many functions but as they grow in complexity they can not address all functions and provide usability and flexibility for staff, teachers and parents.
EasyPTS™ takes focused tasks that are not handled well (and sometimes not handled at all) by the core IT systems and uses a web based application to automate the task - specifically, Parent-Teacher conference scheduling. Data can be imported easily from core IT systems so duplicate data entry is eliminated. Interfaces are simplified and designed around the workflow needed to complete the task. This makes the system intuitive and fast for users. By focusing on only one core task to automate, the system does not become bloated or expensive to purchase (or maintain).
Schools need to schedule meetings with parents typically one or two times a year to discuss how their students are performing. The coordination of these conferences puts a huge burden on a school’s office staff. With one customer, a district with 1,100 students at its high school, they assigned a full staff person 10 days to schedule students and handle paperwork. All other responsibilities were removed so the staff person could have the time to complete the task.
