=Database Committee Meeting, Dec. 3, 2007=

The following database systems were identified and commented upon in a survey sent to 35 schools:

Company Name Product Name Breuer Veracross InResonance Keystone Portal Blackbaud Education Edge Raiser's Edge Financial Edge STI Pearson Power WebEIM Just5clicks Filemaker Pro (customized by developer or tech department)


 * We decided to make appointments with 1) Veracross, 2) InResonance and 3) the company which split away from InResonance.

The appointments will be scheduled, one after the other, for a Thursday morning in Feb.**

To be done:

• Chris will check with Lou Anne to see if part of the Jan. Professional Development Day be allotted to a Database Committee meeting so that we can talk about each person's individual needs.

• People will e-mail Suzanne their "broad brushstroke" needs and she will compile them.

• Paul will call the vendors and schedule appointments.

• Paul will call Tom at Park School and Lincoln and Kingsley schools to get more info.

• Sam will call Meadowbrook, Fay and Belmont Day to see what developer they used for Filemaker Pro and if they liked the outcome.

• Once appointments are scheduled, Esther will make sub arrangements.
