No more bending education to the limits of technology. Skoodat’s level 3 cloud platform, Force.com, adapts to your school’s processes instead of bullying you to comply or die in a closed, client-server closet. Infinite scalability plus infinite customization blows the doors and ceiling of your future wide open, freeing you to reach new heights.
At the heart of every app is a database that stores information about your people, classes, curriculum, and everything else. Force.com makes customizing a database easy, with wizards that walk you through the process of building custom objects, fields, and relationships.
With Skoodat and Force.com, you can customize the award-winning standard user interface with a drag-and-drop page-layout editor. Or you can build your own UI with Web technologies such as HTML, Flash, JavaScript, and Cascading Style Sheets.
Your apps need logic to enforce rules, calculate results, and deal with exceptions. Force.com includes an easy-to-use formula language (like those you find in spreadsheets) as well as a programming language and Eclipse-based IDE developers can use to write code that runs on Force.com, seamlessly integrated with your other Skoodat Apps.
Most complex school processes can be modeled with the Force.com point-and-click workflow and approvals engine. Use easy-to-follow wizards to set up rules to send out email alerts, assign tasks, and send outbound messages to other systems.
With Skoodat and Force.com, it’s easy to build and run any Web site or Web application that uses forms or requires integration with back-end systems and built-in analytics. Build your pages with standard Web technologies such as HTML, Flash, and JavaScript. Then configure your URL and RSS feeds with just a few clicks.
It’s easy to mobile-enable your Skoodat applications on all major mobile devices. Create complex mobile applications with point-and-click ease that work across BlackBerry, iPhone, Windows Mobile, and other popular mobile devices.
Finding school content should be as easy as finding a video on YouTube. With great search results, user ratings, comments, and tagging, you can find the right content at the right time. And the integrated content library makes it easy to share presentations, video clips, documents, spreadsheets, or just about anything else.
With Skoodat, you can easily control which data each user can access at the object, field, or record level. Create custom rules across roles and profiles that are enforced across the user interface, API, search results, and analytics.
