Cheers, Steve Scarbrough Technology Coordinator Storm Lake Community School District 712.732.8100 fax:8101 ----- Original Message ----- From: "Tom Chaplin" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: RE: Training Tidbits - Transfer Manager To: Steven Scarbrough Hi Steve, Thanks for the New Year's greeting... It seems years slip by quicker and quicker all the time! We are continuing our "re-write" of the SAS system to .NET and Sql 2005. Our "release date" is not set yet, but we're hoping for late this year or early in 2007 to start the beta testing. It's been "slow going" trying to get all of our standards set and making sure we're taking advantage of the SQL 2005 features, but my hope is that our development team will continue to "speed up" with each new application they do. They've completed most of the database design and also the first round of programming for our Fixed Assets module. They are now working on General Ledger and the Report Writer. We are now working on some additional Web-based software for our current version of SAS, including a new Web-Based Purchase Order Module that might be of interest to you. Watch for more information about that in the next few months. Feel free to share this with the other tech coordinators, Steve... And we'll try to do a better job of keeping all of you updated with our progress and what you'll be needing to do when we do roll out the Sql version... There will be a decision to make for each school if they want to use the "free" version of SQL that we can distribute or have your own licensed version... We'll do some performance testing as we get closer to try to help with this decision. Steve, I hope that helps a little... And I hope your New Year is getting off to a great start! -Tom --- [This E-mail scanned for viruses by Declude Virus on the server aea8.k12.ia.us] --------------------------------------------------------- Archived messages from this list can be found at: http://www.mail-archive.com/info-tech@aea8.k12.ia.us/ ---------------------------------------------------------
