Adventist Education is About Restoring a Relationship
Technology Update
One of my responsibilites is to coordinate the educational technology for the schools. I thought I would give you a short update on Hunter Systems (our preferred school information systems company).
As many of you know, Hunter Systems was aquired in a co-beneficial merger with a company called STI Inc. STI is a a leading provider of web-based school information sysems for public schools in the country, with a product called iNOW. Hunter was working toward a web-based solution. By merging the two companies, STi was able to begin marketing in the private school market and Hunter could revise an already proven, reliable web-based system into a private school product. This synergistic relationship has provided Adventist education with a great web-based solution. We are working very closely with Robbie Hillis and the new team to provide the best solution we can.
We are developing management teams that will work with Hunter on both STI's iNOW product for large schools and SmallSchoolMinder for small schools. Please join the elists if you would like to be part of either of these groups. These teams will collect upgrade requests and then working with the company, prioritize the list for development.
There is a full explanation of all of the products and the services we recommend for schools at the TDEC site.
In Christ, 
Larry Blackmer
Vice President, North American Division
