What differences between iSAMS & Edgen?

[Blutarsky]

Yesterday I have watched a 20 mins. demo about Ed:gen. Pretty much the same iSAMS user interface (which I don't like very much, you still get that horrible MS Access UI taste).

What is exactly the difference between the two platforms?

Best to speak to the sales rep, but my understanding is that Ed:Gen is iSAMS but a bit more rigid in what can be done, customised or adjusted, to try and keep costs and support down. It is aimed at state schools. I think some modules are removed as well, fee billing for one, and some are not available.
