POWERSCHOOL SERVICES
As one of the integral applications that schools support, effective use and support of the school’s Student Information Systems (SIS) have become essential to success. One of the most popular and progressive systems in the market today is Pearson’s PowerSchool. With over 4 million students, PowerSchool has been a leader in the SIS market since 1997. Creative Breakthroughs has established a host of professional services that help schools address their PowerSchool needs. To learn more about our PowerSchool specific services click here.
SUPPORT
Education customers are often looking for additional cost-effective help desk and on-site support services beyond what many vendors currently offer. We leverage our extensive help desk experience and our Monitoring and Managed Services solution to deliver a complete range of support. Whatever your level of need, Creative Breakthroughs introduces predictability and availability into formerly chaotic systems.
SECURITY
Today's schools are increasingly dynamic and accommodating for students, teachers and administrators. Additionally, attacks and public embarrassments like identity theft that victimize students and faculty and leading to a re-appraisal of how schools approach security. Getting a handle on all the intricacies of these complex enterprise environments requires not only core subject-matter experts who have mastered the relevant methodologies and products, but who also have a clear understanding of education issues and are conversant with the culture of today's schools. Meticulous planning combined with a thorough needs analysis provide the foundation for an organized and predictable implementation experience.
DISASTER RECOVERY PLANNING
Even today, many districts still fail to plan adequately for disaster recovery. With schools increasingly dependent on technology for their critical data, including their Student Information Systems (grading and attendance), assessment data, state reporting and more, it is critical that districts develop a disaster recovery plan.
Let us guide the process so that you can keep your school up and running in the face of unplanned interruptions.
REGULATORY COMPLIANCE
CIPA requires schools and libraries using e-rate discounts (a Federal program to assist schools and libraries in the US to obtain affordable telecommuication and Internet access) to operate "a technology protection measure with respect to any of its computers with Internet access that protects against access through such computers to visual depictions that are obscene, child pornography, or harmful to minors..." Creative Breakthroughs has extensive experience in developing effective compliance programs and assisting organizations in maintaining compliance. |
