QuickPopup - The Easiest Communication Software for Education

Now any local network can enjoy time-saving popup messaging

December 10, 2001 - Kanex Group, Inc. today unveiled a new way to communicate in the school, college or university more easily, faster, better. QuickPopup allows users to exchange popup messages over school networks without connecting to the Internet.

It's a powerful tool for effective communication because Kanex listened to and used input from several hundreds educational professionals. They came from K-12, higher education and other education organizations. The results:

*   Any incoming message can be "popped up" on screen to ascertain its importance. Or select a warning sound and deal with it when it's more convenient
*   Incoming messages can be read without leaving what you are doing
*   With a single click, keep in touch with individuals or the whole community
*   Use templates and save time typing standard pro forma messages
*   Save and print incoming messages

QuickPopup works on small, medium or large networks, on PCs and Macs. No complicated installation, setup or special training is required. It can be deployed in minutes; its intuitive and simple interface makes it easy to use, even by beginners. Users can:

*   Send attendance to secretary at the start of the day
*   Instant messaging from school office to individual teachers
*   Communicate with entire staff in an emergency
*   Communication among teachers
*   Homework hotline
*   Send web addresses to students as part of classwork
*   Receive info without interrupting phone calls
*   Forward phone messages

In today's fast-paced technological world, time is at a premium. QuickPopup is faster and more efficient than email, more reliable than the telephone and more discrete than shouting across the room.
