Hi, We are looking for a cloud engineer to join the team. Details in the link below Nescot | IT Systems Engineer (Cloud)

Hi folks First time poster, long time follower. Has anybody come across any systems that are targeted towards managing Attendance? We've discovered one called Attend (https://attending.school/) a couple of days ago. Anyone else come across this or similar systems? We're planning to get a demo lined up, and I (perhaps more than my fellow Attendance lead!) am eager to see it in action. At a quick glance, it looks quite interesting and seems to go a step further than other solutions we've used before. I'm still in the dark about the pricing, but the features look fascinating. Any advice or insights I'd love to hear your thoughts and suggestions..! Thanks

Hi, I would like to install an integrated display system around our school. We are thinking along the lines of 6 x 32" LCD screens located in different areas of the school all connected and displaying the same content. I’m not sure how it would all work but it would be nice if it could be managed centrally on one of our servers. Dumb terminals would be ideal rather than each monitor having its own computer. I don’t know how the physical side of things would work but perhaps using network cables direct to a display. Does anybody have any ideas on what hardware or software we could use to make this happen?

We're looking around for a system which can help us manage our Reprographics provision more effectively and efficiently. In particular the sorts of things we'd want to be able to do are as follows: The system needs to allow manual input of job tickets by the reprographics technician (in addition to end users being able to submit files electronically) as we do still get plenty of hardcopy jobs in Reprographics For jobs where the cost would be above a certain value, we’d need jobs to be approved/authorised by the Head of Department of the person that requested the job, and we’d need that cost to be displayed on the approval screen When a job is accepted and approved, an email acknowledgement needs to be sent to the person who requested the job (which may be different to the person who input the job into the system) The system then needs to put together a job schedule in a FIFO manner but with the ability for jobs to jump the queue if special authorisation is provided The job schedule should be in a daily format so that the reprographics technician can see what jobs need processing today and can update the status of each one as it is done The system would need to have some form of reporting and/or dashboard for service level agreement monitoring The system would need to be able to work with our existing Sharp reprographics copiers We do already have PaperCut MF for our regular print management, but while it does have a Job Ticketing addon available for reprographics rooms now, it doesn't seem like this would meet all the needs described above. Can anyone offer any suggestions or recommendations? Thanks, Dan Jackson (Senior ITServices Technician) Long Road Sixth Form College, Cambridge, UK. EDIT: I may have posted this in the wrong forum, I couldn't see a printing specific forum so could a moderator move it to a more appropriate place? Thanks.
