Overview
How is Campus Café different from other
higher education administrative software? Campus Cafe is the only school administrative software package with a single database architecture engineered for small and mid-sized institutions. Campus Cafe is uniquely positioned to offer all the advantages of a truly integrated system while delivering a solution that can be maintained and supported by smaller IT Staffs.
How is Campus
Café’s integration unique? Campus Café's true integration differs from program interfaces that batch information back and forth at certain intervals. True integration through a single database model eliminates significant complexity and will enable your institution to deliver improved higher ed administrative software while limiting its demand on resources.
Campus Cafe does not look at these offices as independent operating units, but rather as part of the institution as a whole. This means that all of Campus Cafe's modules:
1.
Share a common database - which ensures that there is only one student record, with one unique identifier, and that data is shared between offices in real time.
2.
Offer enterprise reporting across all other modules.
3.
Use the same contact management system.
4.
Share the same audit logging tool.
5.
Have been built by SCAN software engineers specifically for schools and colleges.
By implementing an architectural structure that mirrors the organizational structure of your institution, Campus Café eliminates the problems associated with interfacing disparate systems.
How will
Java benefit my school? Java is mainstream development technology that utilizes an open systems architecture and does not tie its end users to any proprietary server-based technologies. This means that Campus Café will run on multiple server or database platform and will allow each school to select the technology that best meets its needs.
Java's design and deployment environment is very lightweight and modular. Not only will your school be able to implement Campus Café in a shorter period of time, but you will also enjoy upgrades in minutes, not weeks or months. |
