Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use FACTS as our student database for PS-HS. We use it for billing, grades, communications, etc. FACTS organizes all our data into one central location. Also, because our school is separated across several campuses, it's easy to access no matter where you are. We also now use FACTS for all our applications.

Pros and Cons

Allows for easy communication between various groups.
Allows for easy billing.
Allows for grading and parent access to grades.

The new inputting process is a bit complicated.
Label creation is sometimes hard to get the info you want on the label.
There is no notification when an email does not go through. You'd have to look it up to know.

Likelihood to Recommend

I think it's good for medium to large schools. I think it would be too much for smaller schools. There is a lot of input required to make it fully usable. This would perhaps not be necessary for a smaller school.
