A school business official, Dr. Robert McKeen, developed this software. Over 25 years of personal experience in cost-effectiveness and extensive research throughout the United States and Canada is utilized. Dr. McKeen has written and has had published various articles and books, along with lecturing on cost-effective measures which enhance the effectiveness of the school business official.

The software contains hundreds of school district proven cost-effective activities that reduce cost and increase revenue. Cost-avoidance is the theme of each activity. A school district is reviewed for demographics and past cost-saving activities to develop a program for savings. A variety of reports are developed from district input. Included are: expected savings, costs (if any), five-year plan, direction to accomplish each cost-saving activity, goal and objective format to monitor progress.

TIP (Textbook Inventory Program) is the most widely used application specifically designed to help schools manage their textbooks. Point and click methodology together with built in databases saves users time, increases their control of records, and reduces the amount of payments for replacement textbooks by as much as 50%. Powerful, intuitive, and comprehensive, TIP includes a Master Titles database containing the information about popular textbooks used in schools (including ISBN, title, copyright, etc.). Built-in bar code printing capability reduces the cost and effort necessary to bar code books for distribution to teachers and students. TIP even lets you calculate how many books you need to satisfy enrollment so unnecessary textbook purchases can be avoided.

The School Discipline System (SDS) includes built-in Infractions and Consequences databases as well as provisions to tailor Infractions and Consequences to individual school needs. Reports include statistical and graphical summary. The point-and-click approach of Windows makes recording a student's misbehavior and the penalty assigned quick and easy. Yet, at the same time, recording notes about an incident is user-controlled. SDS helps administrators analyze what works and what doesn't!
