Burntsand Awarded Significant Contract by Chancery Software to Assist in the Development of Advanced Educational Portal, K12Planet
Vancouver BC, January 17th, 2000. Burntsand Inc. (Burntsand) (TSE:BRT) is pleased to announce the award of a major contract by Chancery Software of Burnaby, BC, to participate in the development of an advanced school to parent Internet connection, K12Planet.
Burntsand has developed considerable expertise in Internet strategies and the creation of sophisticated Internet/Intranet/Extranet Portals. K12Planet represents advanced concepts from both the human interaction aspects of the application, and the technological architectures that make this interaction possible. Burntsand is pleased to be a key participant in the development of K12Planet.
K12Planet is an extension of Chancery's award-winning Open District(tm), Win School(r) and Mac School(r) student information systems that gives parents, students, and educators access to accurate, timely information about students in one, easy-to-use website. This communication connection gives the parent and student authorized access to everything from daily grades and attendance to homework help, and career and college planning resources. Teachers use K12Planet to communicate with parents about their students' day-to-day performance and to suggest resources to help students succeed in school. Administrators use K12Planet to share information with parents about important issues in the school community.
"Chancery has established a stellar North American reputation for school administrative information systems," stated Jim Yeates, Burntsand's Chairman and CEO. "K12Planet creates a new, and extremely valuable dimension for Chancery. This very intelligent portal links a highly motivated community of interest to a common focus, a child's education. As either a parent or an educator, the pressures of not enough time in a day are well understood. K12Planet creates a degree of time and place independence, delivering meaningful information and a facility for virtual interaction for the teacher/parent community focused on an individual student's education. The necessary personal interaction is greatly enhanced through a tool like K12Planet. The Internet is an incredible communications medium. Intelligent portals like Chancery's K12Planet demonstrate the potential societal value of the Internet, as meaningful applications emerge."
"Burntsand's insight will be invaluable in the development of K12Planet," commented Rick Moignard, Chancery's CEO. "Burntsand's ability to interweave strategy, security, and Internet technology without compromising the all important human aspect of the application was imperative in awarding the contract. With Burntsand's support, Chancery's K12Planet will make a positive contribution to the quality of the parent - teacher - student educational relationship."
