Magellan
Magellan simplifies pupil management, report writing, calculation of advanced level qualifications and official statistics. The unique benefit of Magellan is that you can expand it using daVinci timetabling software, a genuine suite of programs for creation of timetables, to form a complete solution which provides you with far more functions than with any electronic information board. This brings with it considerable advantages when compared with combining software from various providers.
Compared to conventional desktop-database solutions which use Access, FoxPro, dBase, SuperBase etc, Magellan's client/server technology enables features which until now have been unaffordable in the schools sector. Magellan is faster, more secure and more reliable than any other desktop-database solution.
