County Office of Education

Escape Online 5 incorporates everything we know about a great school business system, designed and crafted for the COE environment. It is efficient and well-managed at the county level, a system that COEs can be proud to offer their district customers.

Multi-district operations, setup and support is easier than ever – no matter how large the county.

  • County-wide reporting and processes from a menu tree that is always available.
  • SQL backend designed to support any number of organizations.
  • Easy client installation downloaded by user visiting an intranet web page. Thereafter, any client software updates are installed automatically when the user logs in.
  • True Windows Server Management Console snap-in for complete system status.
  • Scalability for both server processes and databases across multiple servers.
  • Organization level system managers can be assigned to maintain their own setup, users, etc., while any COE level setup is restricted to COE system managers.
  • Any aspect of the database can be exported to a data warehouse for offline review and analysis by third-party tools.
  • Crystal Reports – a full set of standard reports, with the ability for a COE or district to exclude any of ours and/or include any of theirs.

Easy to Maintain and Expand

  • Clients and servers communicating via HTTP with high security yet no firewall issues.
