Hi and thanks for the clarifying question. Yes I suppose we would be classed as a Department within most Universities. Ours recently went through a restructure and has chosen to go with University > College > School structure. From what I have seen most of the software platforms are designed for the University level. In ability and pricing... I think I might need to look at in house development to avoid the large costs.

Thanks for the prompt reply. Clicking on link right now...

Hello EG'ers, in a previous role I used Sims.net and was wondering if anybody knows of a MIS suitable for a University environment. It would be used as a record/read platform rather than fully integrated. We our a small School (350 students) within a University and I am looking to incorporate our existing databases into a single application. Ideally I'd like a platform that enables the recording of student information, staff information, attendance, admissions and a few other areas. does anyone know of a suitable platform? I have spoken to Capitas but their Unity solution is well beyond our budget. Thanks in advance for any and all help, cog

Ditto.

I had a similar problem and found that removing the power lead for 5 seconds from the back of the iMac will sort it out. I think its an issue when new firmware is installed. Incidentally I have the same problem with my iPod. After a few months use it will not be recognised by my PC. After shutting down and removing the power lead it's fine. I guess all that residual power needs to dissipate fully.

I always tend to use SUPER in the school environment. It's free and can convert from/ almost any codec. It can be downloaded from here at the bottom of the page. I have converted lots of our media depts finalized 8cm DVD's (VOB) to WMV for editing in Windows Movie Maker.
