Attn: Administrators, Teachers, Professors, Student and Parents Wanted: An easy way to track OUR progress How: Well don't we all have more questions then answers of "how to get our vital educaton information on-line? Many of you may have fallen in love with visions of the Microsoft Learning Gateway over the past few years with the integration of collaboration for your teachers and students, business intelligence and analytics focusing of assessment, and the power of management of information. BUT that astounding question was “HOW do we get there” – particularly with limited time and budget. It was a question for schools, adminstrators and businesses that support schools.

Those customers who knew going in that they could not or should not do their own deployments were of course very pleased to have all design efforts and customization efforts done for them. However, those who were looking to self deploy they were trying hard to do all the design and specification themselves. As we spoke more I began to realize just how wrong this was.
