 * Vision Statement:

"I created a tool that allows schools to document what software they have (or prefer) for each of about a hundred functions. This tool serves two purposes - the act of filling it out, and then reading your list over, helps you internally see which functions you might have too many programs or systems for. Then when you scroll horizontally through it, you can see what other schools are doing." - Warren Apel, American Embassy School, New Dehli, India
