SAM

Here at Central Access, we pride ourselves with this Student Administration Management (SAM) software. This product allows school districts to manage most every aspect of their daily routine including Enrollment, Attendance, Grading, Scheduling, Discipline, Special Education, State Reporting, Calendars, and even an optional Call Notification System (AIM 2.0). Currently, about 70% of school districts within the state of Mississippi are currently using SAM, several of which have been with us for years.

Marathon

We at Central Access wouldn't be where we are today if it weren't for our Marathon product and its many new recent additions. Marathon delivers an integrated, Microsoft Windows-based, state-of-the-art fund accounting system that allows for better information distribution between school sites and the central office. Marathon offers all the tools needed to maintain a General Ledger across multiple locations, flexible Accounts Payable options, budgeting tools, payrolls, fixed asset management, and a great support staff to help in your times of need.

Remote Data Service (RDS)

RDS is your answer to offsite data storage and disaster recovery. Thanks in part to new technologies that take advantage of file compression and WAN communication abilities, Central Access is able to offer our customers an affordable solution that gets their data to an offsite location quickly and securely. The process is simple. The data contents of specified folder(s) on a customer computer(s) is backed up
every evening at a predetermined time, compressed, then securely FTP'd to the Central Access Data Repository. Once the data has been successfully received, an email is sent to the customer with the details of the transfer. From that point our customers have the peace-of-mind knowing their data is safe in the event of hardware failures or natural disasters. For more information and pricing of RDS, please contact the Central Access Team today!

Marathon.NET Time and Attendance
Central Access has begun work on an integrated Time and Attendance System for Marathon.NET. There is now a huge need in the State of Mississippi to capture accurate time and attendance information for payroll calculation.

Getting that information into payroll from a third-party time and attendance solution results in duplication of work and extra steps in the validation process. By including our own time and attendance system, Central Access will be able to give its Marathon customers a truly integrated solution unlike any in the industry.
   
This system will incorporate SY-760 Time Clock Terminal by Synel.
