K-12

Students, parents, teachers and the wider community increasingly expect more communication from their school – timely, accurate 24/7 information. Schools need to attract students, retain the best teachers and build their reputation and image in the community.  We help schools meet these expectations in a number of ways:

 

• Building intranets for teachers and students
• Creating websites for schools to enable them to communicate with prospective students and the community

Higher Education

Universities, TAFEs and Institutes of Higher Education increasingly have to think and act like businesses, as competition for funding becomes more intense, and as public funding accounts for a smaller share of their overall budgets.  These pressures are combined with the need to improve lines of communication between students and faculty and manage the enormous challenge of harnessing their knowledge and published material in an online environment.

 

Netcat solutions for Higher Education help institutions manage the business of education.  We provide solutions to education institutions which enable them to:

 

• Manage your voluminous content with distributed publishing.  With Netcat, Faculties and Departments can undertake their own publishing direct to the internet or intranet.
• Conserve scarce resources through automation of administrative processes
• Improve student faculty communication through our intranet platforms, blogging and wiki facilities.
• Create a consistent web presence across multiple faculties and departments, while maintaining decentralised content publishing.
• Administer many hundreds of mini-websites without involving IT, whilst preserving presentation consistency, across the institution.
• Free up IT resources by enabling publishing by anyone (authorised) with basic computer skills.  Netcat is simple and easy to use, and requires a minimum skill level.  Your IT resources can be redeployed to high value projects.
• Provide equal access to students and other stakeholders with a disability.
