ScoMIS Services to Schools
SIMS Terminal Server

Are your staff spending endless amounts of time configuring, updating or administering SIMS? Scomis can reduce the amount of time spent administering SIMS through the Scomis Hosted Application Service (previously called Terminal Server). This is a managed solution that enables Scomis to host SIMS and FMS data for schools, as well as perform SIMS backups and upgrades for you. Scomis provide hosted SIMS and FMS through a Terminal Server solution. All data is stored and maintained by Scomis and accessed by the Customer from the school through a terminal servicer shortcut on the Customer's desktop via the remote link or the Customer's existing broadband links. Secure access by the Customer's staff from other locations is available at an additional cost. Scomis Hosted Application Service (including SIMS) extends the managed service provision to schools, leaving you to get on with your key role of using SIMS to support the education of your pupils. As there is no need for the school to run upgrades and patches, efficiency of school staff is improved. Workstations do not need upgrading so often, as lower specification workstations will work fine with the Scomis Hosted Application Service. Secure, complex passwords, automatic screen protection and reliable backup make the Scomis Hosted Application Service ideal for adding extra protection to your school data. |
