Improve how US schools manage themselves - the cloud

Feb. 9, 2012 - PRLog -- How to make US schools run efficiently.

The company I work for is ScholarChip. We create cloud-based school operation software. Our goal is to modernize how schools are managed. We have student smart cards that can be read by mobile devices (Android phones and iPads, etc.) It really broadens the access and availability of Attendance, Identity Management and Security software systems to school administrators.  Using school purchased mobile devices reduces hardware and infrastructure costs, plus all data is safely stored in the cloud (in real-time).

At a time when states and schools are facing unprecedented budget challenges and pressured to add additional safety and operational needs, many schools are seeking new solutions that reduce costs, improve the quality of their core school operations and control safety throughout their districts. Along with these changes most (SIS) Student Information Systems no longer are delivering all of the necessary aspects of school operations.

These needs are best handled by an integrated School Safety & Operations System (SSOS) that leverages your current SIS and past operational investments.

Scholarchip has pioneered a unified, open, and secure cloud-based (SSOS) platform that is revolutionizing school safety and operations while substantially reducing costs. Now operating in close to 200 schools daily.

ScholarChip’s, cloud-based School Safety and Operations System (SOSS) delivers “Software-as-a-Service”:
Identity Management
Campus entry and egress
Card-based classroom attendance
Mobile attendance and monitoring on Android, the i-platforms and newly released Near Field Communications Phones
Cafeteria management (POS, attendance, e- commerce)
Event management
Physical door access
Bus attendance (Transportation management)
Parental, community and emergency notification
School payments and eCommerce

Our platform provides automation and eliminates the costs associated with purchasing and maintaining district servers and software, consuming very little of the schools IT resources. (SOSS) platform components can be purchased individually or together.
