Cimple On Demand

Cimple’s OnDemand .NET Student Scheduling Software for Middle and High Schools is available today for all members of the web community at “no cost.”  It saves administrators hundreds of hours, because it’s smart.  Members can use it from school or at home at any time.  All they need is a web-browser to connect, for example, Internet Explorer.  Built with artificial intelligence, it thinks of all the scheduling possibilities; it tries the best options available; it learns from its successes and mistakes; it makes numerous decisions, balancing student needs with teacher restrictions and qualifications, and it ultimately schedules the best choice for each and every student.  Scheduling is done in less time, with fewer problems and with better results.  Finished student schedules can be easily exported into other systems.  To find out more or to ask a question, participate in the Learn More forum - OnDemand Products

 

In the Summer of 2008 at “no cost,” Cimple’s OnDemand Enterprise System will be available for very small districts, with preferably one, or possibly two school buildings, for example, a K-8 or K-12 public, private or charter school with less than a thousand students.  And also at “no cost,” Cimple’s OnDemand Building System will be available for elementary, middle and high schools that would like a complete or partial system for their school.  The Building Systems help elementary, middle, and high schools K-12 to do Student Scheduling, Daily and Classroom Attendance, Progress Reports and Report Cards, Discipline Referrals and Dispositions, and Permanent Records with Transcripts, where teachers in school or at home can access the System, and Parents from home or work can view their child’s information through a secured web connection.  The Enterprise System adds the All-In-One Data Center that allows a District to keep historical student data from all its schools for many years. 

If members haven’t scheduled before or if they never received any formal training, they can enroll at a “reduced cost” in Professional Develop Programs that are currently available for Middle School and for High School Administrators.  Each Program is specifically designed to address the challenges of scheduling students at these levels. Members attending these Programs will learn the skills needed and the methods used to schedule a school.  Several web-sessions will be offered in the Spring and in the Summer of 2008.  They are highly recommended, and well worth the $250 fee.  To find out more or to ask a question, participate in the Learn More forum - Development Programs

Free membership gives you access to Community Resources, a digital library where you can download many things including documents, manuals, lessons, models, and tools.  For example, a scheduling solution model in the library, submitted by a member, including an Educational Consultant, can be downloaded.  It could provide an answer for a particular scheduling problem at your school.  You can also download software tools, for example, a utility to import basic student data or a utility to export finished student schedules into another system.  To find out more or to ask a question, participate in the Learn More forum - Community Resources

Community Support from other members of the web community will be extremely helpful, however, from time-to-time a member may need Professional Services from Educational Consultants and Technical Experts.  Offered at a reduced cost, Units of Professional Service (UNOs) may be purchased and used like a phone calling card, where UNOs are used for Services as only as needed, and where any unused UNOs are rolled-over to next year.  An introductory Basic Plan for $500 would give a member ten (10) half-hour web-session, which can be used at anytime during the scheduling process to get one-to-one help from Consultants or Experts.  The number of UNOs to purchase will depend on the number of hours of Professional help that a member may need.  A member may start with an introductory Plan and then purchase another block of UNOs when needed.  Or, a member may select an appropriate UNO Plan, based on the projected hours of Professional Services needed for the complete scheduling process, from start to finish.  To find out more or to ask a question, participate in the Learn More forum - Professional Services.

As a member of the CimpleOnDemand Web Community, you will be amazed how quickly other members will respond to your request.  And as more and more members join the community, the time it takes to get a response will improve significantly.  Its anticipated that in time Community Support will be faster and better than the support offered today by most software companies.  However, if a member wants the assurance of Professional Support directly from the CimpleOnDemand corporate team with a guaranteed response time, an annual Service Level Agreement Plan may be purchased.  And, a member that wants to lock-in the price for Professional Support for up to three (3) years may purchase a multiple year Service Level Agreement Plan, to be paid annually.  To find out more or to ask a question, participate in the Learn More forum - Service Level Agreement Plans.
