Technology Director and Staff

The Helios Team understands your technology needs and goals. You need systems that are flexible, secure and will easily integrate with your current infrastructure - hardware, network and software.

Helios provides you with strong but flexible security and easily integrates with your current student information and other systems. It uses a relational database back-end that you can easily install on any of your current servers, be it SQL Server or Oracle. In fact, if you so wish, Helios even implements an application service provider model for you in which you do not have to maintain any servers or data on your network - we do that for you.

• Web-based interface - no need to install any client programs
• Very easy to administer using web-based GUI - Helios does not require any configuration
• Strong yet flexible security
• Ability to customize drop down lists using easy web interface
• Relational database that plugs into your current database system
• Just needs a web server and a database to run
• Installation and training provided
• Easily scalable because it uses relational database
• Import/export features allow CSV or text output for easy data dump from and to other systems or you can even hack into the back end for complex queries
• If you do not have a database currently, you could even use the free versions of SQL Server, which are Helios supported

The Helios team works with you to implement the system, create customized features and reports that you might need, train the users and thereafter we constantly add new reports as requirements change.

System requirements

• Web server with Windows 2000 or 2003 Server and IIS 5.0 or higher
• Microsoft .NET 2.0 framework
• SQL Server or Oracle. SQL Server preferred. Or even MSDE/SQL Server Express that are freely available will do
• Or nothing at all, if you choose to opt for our ASP model where we host the system and data for you
