What else can you do with it
  • Integrate existing Student Information Systems
    Because the system is based on SQL server technology and is OBDC compliant, you may integrate with Student Information Systems, both proprietary and custom.
  • Manage your entire website
    Robust workflow tools give campus web contributors the access they demand without losing control of your website. The system is server-based so nothing goes live until the webmaster approves it. No more rogue pages and confusing messages.
  • Manage curriculum development behind the scenes
    The SmartCatalog System is great for managing curriculum development and allowing colleagues to "talk" to each other at the draft stage. Imagine how useful this would be for curriculum committees as they work to develop new programs. Version control would allow them to see the genesis of programs and courses as they develop.
"Some of the old-timers here are amazed at how smoothly the catalog went this time. I know that it's largely due to your help and efficiency - I can't imagine going back to the old way of doing things"
