Educational Compliance Made Easy
E-Com helps special education staff in your school district quickly create, store, and print special ed forms and manage special ed student data. Portage Bay Solutions designed this system in close cooperation with special education professionals. Among their main concerns have been a lack of consistency in district forms and the use of outdated forms that no longer met district standards. E-Com eliminates these concerns in addition to providing a user-friendly, automated, and time saving system. SAMPLE FORMS USER MANUAL ADMIN MANUAL
E-Com has been in use by school districts since 1996, and has proven itself to be dependable and easy to use.
E-Com is equally well-suited to use as a simple forms management system or as a full compliance tool.
Initial purchase and annual support costs of E-Com can be significantly lower than alternative solutions, such as IEPOnline.
Automated data integration with Wespac, Powerschool, Schoolmaster, and other student information systems.
Unlike alternative solutions, forms in E-Com are "what you see is what you get." The appearance of forms on the screen closely mirrors the form that prints out.
Windows and Macintosh operating systems are supported for both the client and server.
Forms can be customized easily and new forms can easily be added to the system by district staff.
"I currently split my time between two districts, one that uses E-Com and one that uses another system. The reduced time (as much as half) spent on paperwork at the district that uses E-Com allows me to spend more time with teachers and parents to help students be successful, rather than spending my day behind a desk doing paperwork." — John F.
E-Com was designed to run on any combination of Macintosh and Windows computers.
