Eagle Software Announces Aeries Analytics (March 3, 2011)

Eagle Software is excited to announce that development has begun on what we are currently calling: Aeries Analytics, a fully integrated testing and assessment system. Aeries customers have long utilized the existing testing and assessment features of the Aeries Student Information System, but have often requested that the system be developed further.

Aeries Analytics will enable full integration with the Aeries Gradebook and existing Aeries Testing and Assessment Reports. Features will include batch or individual plain-paper test scoring by teachers or administrators and standards integration between test questions, the Aeries Gradebook, and Aeries Standards-Based Grade Reporting.

For more information please see the Aeries Analytics Overview Documents.

To have your school or district added to our list of interested Aeries customers, please email sales@aeries.com. More information and details will be made available as development progresses.

OVER 500 SCHOOL DISTRICTS HAVE NOW SELECTED AND IMPLEMENTED AERIES (November 1, 2010)

Aeries has been selected by over 500 California school districts and educational agencies as their Student Information System. Aeries is now used to manage over 2.5 million student records and over 3,800 California schools count on Aeries for their student data needs. "With California districts and schools struggling to manage lean budgets and uncertain state reporting requirements the functions of their student information system are vital for day to day operations. Eagle Software is widely known for focusing on the needs of California's schools and districts and the constantly changing state and federal reporting requirements. Our unmatched focus, continued innovation and dedication to providing the best customer support in the student information system industry have enabled us to become the leading SIS provider in California," stated Matthew Busser, Eagle Software Director of Sales and Marketing.

Eagle Software has established a reputation for unparalleled customer support. Eagle Software began partnering with California school districts as their student information system provider in 1995. "Over the last fifteen years we have built a strong reputation for taking care of our customers by providing result-oriented customer support and service," explained Greg Foran, Eagle Software Support Manager. Eagle Software's support team consists of experienced K-12 professionals who understand the culture and workings of the K-12 education system. This deep knowledge of the K-12 industry and focus on exceeding customer expectations has enabled Eagle Software to set the highest standards in the industry for quality student information system customer support.

The ongoing growth and development of Aeries is critical when maintaining the expectations and demands of the K-12 environment. Aeries utilizes a real-time, highly secure centralized SQL database offering both web and client access. Camden Iliff, Eagle Software Director of Student Systems Development added, "The versatility of Aeries allows districts and schools to evolve as appropriate for their individual needs and technology culture. Districts and schools can host the system themselves or they can have us do it for them. Many require full web-based or mobile access to the SIS, while others are not quite ready for it yet". Aeries is a great solution for districts and schools desiring a system that will grow with them as necessary for their current and future student data needs.

Eagle Software's ASP hosting services continue to add appeal for schools and districts lacking the necessary personnel or hardware. Operating Aeries in this environment greatly minimizes the technical management and only requires the district or school maintain an internet connection, making it very easy to manage Aeries. Aeries Mobile is a mobile application and allows "detached" access via iPhone and Windows Mobile devices to be utilized by school and district staff, making student data available on the go as necessary for educators and administrators.

Eagle Software's exclusive California focus, industry leading customer support and continued innovation has made Aeries an easy choice for schools and districts seeking a reliable student information system solution.

Lightspeed Systems and Aeries™ Bring One of a Kind Information to Parents (December 3, 2008)

Lightspeed Systems Inc., developer of network security software for the education market, and Eagle Software, the largest provider of school administrative solutions in California, have integrated their products so schools can better monitor online user activity and support student safety measures. As a result, the Aeries Student Information System from Eagle Software features reports of students' Internet usage that are obtained from Total Traffic Control, Lightspeed's network security and monitoring solution.

For many years, schools and districts have faced the challenge of connecting data from disparate administrative systems to conduct analysis and make informed decisions to improve school efficacy, particularly as the No Child Left Behind Act and other federal legislation called for more education oversight and accountability. "Information spread across too many access points can be as ineffective as no information," said Scott Garrison, president of Lightspeed Systems. "We want to help administrators get the information they need to protect students online and take appropriate action. We are working collaboratively with Eagle Software to incorporate our critical information on student online activity with schools' central access point for student data."

With the Aeries and Total Traffic Control integration, the student information system interface includes an additional screen that provides reports on an individual student's Internet activities and suspicious search-engine queries, such as terms related to bomb making, gang involvement and suicide. By monitoring and analyzing student behavior on the Internet, administrators, principals, counselors, and other designated staff can detect early warning signs of potential threats to student safety, document acceptable-use-policy violations and resolve inappropriate online activity.

"Our partnership with Lightspeed provides customers with valuable information at their fingertips, and it furthers our mission to provide a comprehensive data management solution that meets the diverse and ever-changing needs of schools, districts and education agencies," said Camden Iliff, Director of Student Systems Development for Eagle Software. "To our knowledge, this is the first time that network monitoring tools have been integrated into a K-12 student information system."

The Aeries Student Information System is a flexible, Web-based system that manages student data, scheduling, grade reporting, attendance, medical information, test scores, financial data and more.

Total Traffic Control is all-inclusive network security software, offering a full range of network protection features in a single application, including content filtering, spam management, bandwidth management, antivirus protection, extensive reporting capabilities, email archiving and mobile filtering.
