Software Suite Enables Integrated Management

Century Consultants is now offering Star_Base Suite, which includes Star_Student, Star_Learning, Star_Mobile and Star_Finance. Each of the software included in the suite is completely integrated into one Oracle-based system that streamlines and simplifies lesson planning, curriculum, record keeping, information gathering and data entry.

The suite helps educators and administrators track, manage and maintain the vital information needed to institute an efficient student information, business and curriculum management system. The software components enable teachers to plan, deliver, manage and assess student learning, as well as maintain performance-based reporting, lesson planning and instructional curriculum. All aspects of this technology can be tied to state and national standards.

Because Star_Base School Suite is Web-based, school districts can operate in a centralized WAN using a single client-server environment and/or the ability to operate in a dynamic, Web-based environment from a single set of program code. Through this code, parents can access their child's grades, attendance records and homework assignments in real-time over the Internet. Century Consultants, Lakewood, NJ, (800) 852-2566, www.centuryltd.com.
