Web-based Application Provider
The benefits of outsourcing mission critical software applications (tools) for schools far outweigh the worries. If you're not sure, read our Outsourcing Rationale.
The further benefits of making information available from anywhere via the Web are extremely attractive. The negatives are far fewer and less powerful than the positives.
For example, by combining outsourcing and Web access, a school not only washes its hands of taking care of the software application, its security, its maintenance, its upgrade schedule, and its network connection (benefits of outsourcing), but additionally and powerfully, it also overcomes operating system lock-in: users are suddenly free to use whatever type of computer is around as long as it has a Web browser. Today, they all have Web browsers.
Security worries? Today's Web-based applications can be locked down or entirely open or any degree of "care" in-between. As they say, there is no absolutely perfect system. In this time of daily security scares, we know that the ultimate answer is not to put something on the network if it is too private for thieves.
But wait a minute: even banks are on-line now. Does your school have a bigger security problem than a bank does?
It's unlikely, isn't it? The point is, that while nobody can promise you that the worst won't ever, ever, ever happen, ITeachNet.org can say that our security is as good as it gets. We constantly monitor and respond to threats. It's an active relationship, actively maintained, as it should be.
Nobody does it better.
