The following case study explores our solution in helping one client automate processes and centralize data, thereby allowing more of their time and energies to remain focused on their primary operating goals.

Case Study:

Background
The Washington, DC school system had identified a need to allow more of staff time and resources to be allocated directly to students. One way of contributing to this goal was to make everyday school administrative functions more efficient and cost effective, especially for out-of-school employee positions.

Issue/Problem
The Washington, DC school system was in need of a system that would integrate and automate district-wide school information into a central database. They were interested in one-stop shopping, including hosting and maintenance for the system that would be developed.

Solution
Netinterlink used best practice technology to provide an enterprise solution that integrates and automates up-to-date, district-wide school information into a central database system. The system, Summost.com, is a comprehensive, internet-based system that delivers real-time solutions for all K-12 out-of-school programs. It electronically manages data, time, and attendance for both employees and students, with access through a single, secure system sign-on.

In addition, Netinterlink provides hosting for the site, using state-of the-art data centers with hassle free hosting that provides an enhanced value to the service. As part of Netinterlink's guaranteed performance and ongoing quality assurance, we upgrade, patch, fix and maintain the Summost.com application with the latest tools and functionality, thereby ensuring that school administration needs are met. The following are some features of the Summost.com program designed for DC Public Schools:
