bigWebApps, Inc. Introduces SCIMS Initiative to Assist School Districts During Budget Crunch

bigWebApps, Inc. has launched an initiative to assist school districts throughout the state of South Carolina afford quality help desk software during this budget crisis.

Atlanta, GA (PRWEB) October 4, 2003 -- bigWebApps, Inc. announces the launch of SCIMS, South Carolina Information Management Solutions, in recognition that school districts within the state of South Carolina have been crippled in their ability to acquire leading edge technology in recent years due to budget cuts. School districts are finding it increasingly difficult to effectively support the rapidly growing internal networks of computers and users. SCIMS has been developed to assist school districts in providing the needed support despite the funding decreases.

The first phase of SCIMS is to offer bigWebDesk, the fully web-based support request and asset management application, at a 35% discounted rate to all school districts in the state. The cost of bigWebDesk will gradually increase over a four-year period until the standard education price is reached (20% discount off of corporate price). SCIMS has been designed to create a crutch for school districts until the state and local governments can implement a consistent budget.

bigWebDesk is an application tailored for school districts with the capability of handling the service request and asset management for technology and facility maintenance departments alike. Ease of use for teachers; customizable features for technicians; and reports and accountability for administrators are all characteristics of bigWebDesk that are desperately needed by school districts support teams.

With web-based applications such as bigWebDesk, school districts can utilize powerful tools through the web without depleting valuable resources hosting and maintaining additional software. Whether a district has made cut backs to the number of support staff or is looking to reduce paper and other expenditures, bigWebDesk is a means to get back to level ground concerning help desk needs.

SCIMS has an official start date of October 1, 2003, and will conclude December 31, 2003. bigWebApps, Inc. will use this time period to evaluate the response from the school districts throughout South Carolina. Further initiatives throughout the state will be based on the findings of this initial test phase.

bigWebApps, Inc. is an Atlanta, GA, based Application Service Provider (ASP) founded in February of 2001 from its parent company, Micajah Corporation. bigWebApps, Inc.s goal is to create web-based solutions to simplify and organize antiquated paper-based processes as well as increase communication and accountability within organizations.
