standards.
Note: We do not provide departmental maintenance/update services at this time.
Due to our limited resources, we are working to standardize software from a single vendor since rapid integration often becomes paramount. This might limit possible features many would like to see added to campus functionality but due to staffing and financial limitations, we can't afford taking time to tie together the infrastructure of the two or more companies when it isn't necessary or can involve more time than we are allowed.
All issues and help are completely dependent on staff availability and priority of assignments given to our department.
We are always working on ways to develop a successful online presence. This can be done using time-tested approaches and effective search marketing strategy as well as exploring new and viral marketing approaches. Again, this is often limited by staffing and financial boundaries.
