Re: Off site hosting

You may want to test out the scheduling portion of the Education Edge
(integrated with FE) with the outsourcing. We experienced dramatic slow
downs when it came to scheduling because the client had to download all the
data from the server to process the information. This was with our local
network.

If your office wants to work from home, I would recommend you use a MS
remote desktop or Citrix type application. Some of our staff members can
work from home this way.
