Solutions from Edupoint are designed from the ground up to help your school district get the most out of your valuable technology investment. We have built all of our solutions on a single, centralized database (MS SQL or Oracle) and designed each to be accessed over the Web.
GENESIS and GENESEA are based on Edupoint's Revelation Technology™ (RT) platform. The RT toolkit provides for rapid application development on the Microsoft .NET platform. As a result, we can design, develop, and deploy GENESIS and GENESEA applications quickly and efficiently. As a K-12 school district, you can also license RT to develop your own applications and extend the value of your GENESIS enterprise solution.
Revelation Technology Overview
RT achieves the essential goal of protecting your data and application software from underlying generational changes to hardware, operating systems, and database management systems. GENESIS is the first student information system built on the principle that continued evolution should replace generational change.
In short, GENESIS may be the last SIS solution your district will ever have to buy, making it the clear choice for long-term value.
As a true enterprise-level solution, GENESIS can scale and extend based on your unique needs, and offers robust auditing and security. With the .NET technology platform, GENESIS reduces hardware and systems operating costs over the short and long-term. Fully embracing the precepts of high-quality enterprise level solutions—flexibility, extensibility, scalability, and supportability—GENESIS offers:
- Web-based accessibility from anywhere using a web browser.
- Centralized, real-time district data deployed on a single MS SQL or Oracle database.
- Easy maintenance with system upgrades taking minutes rather than hours or days.
- Flexibility, with the ability to customize and define data fields and screens, and instantly deploy updates to the live environment.
- Robust security, with the highest level of data security available, including comprehensive access management (by user, role, screen, tab, or field), transaction auditing, time/day access restrictions, and multiple levels of data access.
- Scalability, with the ability to meet the needs of school districts of all sizes, from smaller localized districts to some of the largest districts in the country.
