[Year 12 IT Apps] Intranet/Extranet solution

Sun Feb 21 19:05:16 EST 2010

All the problems will be solved for government schools by Ultranet. How do I 
show a snigger?

Back in the late 90s, when CASES 2000 was being promoted, we were told that 
we would, in CASES 2000, have all apps such as timetabling, reports, student 
attendance, etc linked to the one central database.

The pigs have not yet flown.
