Web System

Process over the Web with Mac or PC - Internet or Intranet

Browser Based Processing with SDS is most unique. You will be able to connect your users via the internet without the necessity of installing client software on your work stations.  All you need is an internet browser and you can work! This means that you can even access your programs from a computer that is not a part of your schools network simply by going to your web page and entering your unique ID and Password. And, with full security, 128 Bit SSL encryption, your work is most secure.

The keyword with the SDS Browser System is connectivity. Unlike basic administrative software programs, SDS brings together all the components you need to manage your school with one simple interface and one main database, where information is instantly accessible to authorized personnel with full security over the internet.

The system has been completely built for the WEB. This means that you will not have to install any additional software on your workstations. Each computer either Mac or PC, simply connects to the WEB and begins accessing the programs that are available to the user. Since all the programs reside on the main file server, basic maintenance becomes very easy and very cost effective. For your district, a centralized file server is now possible which will save you IT costs and removes the need to have a separate file server in each school.  We also offer hosting services at SDS.  With our secure hosting program, you will be connected with the bandwidth of our T3 line. Be sure to ask about all the benefits of this program.
