Casey,
Now that you have raised your hand I have some questions about your openCentre software. I couldn't find this info on your site. 1. What exactly are the server system requirements to run openCentre? 2. What tasks/functions/modules/etc are included in the "base" system? 3. Can a K-8 school of about 500 students run completely on the free openCentre or do they need to purchase additional modules/parts to run effectively? 4. What additional tasks/functions/modules/etc are available for openCentre and how much does each cost? 5. About how many schools are currently running openCentre and can you release a list so we may contact the administrators for their comments? I like the looks of your product but really don't have the full info on it. Thanks. stew ---------- Original Message ----------- From: "Casey Adams" <casey@xxxxxxxxx> To: schoolforge-discuss@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Thu, 6 Dec 2007 13:42:00 -0500 Subject: [school-discuss] OS4ED Release bAlert > Hi All, > > OS4ED has just released its latest solution bAlert, a web based email and SMS text messaging system for K-12 and Higher Ed.
