The reason we only specialize in master scheduling software is because it is a very complicated field and very difficult to program. SIS companies are usually good at providing the student information system, but not when it comes to master scheduling solutions. The database driven approach does not work well in the world of billions of search possibilities. These solutions become very slow and ineffective and they end up providing extensive training which is long and leaves the actual building bought up to the individual school user, with a nice pat on the back and saying something like “look out for those singletons and doubletons”.
Why is master scheduling speed so important? First off, it shows how well the algorithms have been written and how effective the master scheduling software actually is.
The longer it takes, usually the more overwhelmed the master scheduling software is and ends up giving solutions which are not the best. This impact on course class sizes, teachers and the planning, as well as the students’ conflicts.
Super Conductive Algorithms
We’ve come up with what we have called ‘super conductive algorithms’ which is basically algorithms which are free of friction and drag, which is associated with the complex searching of the solution pool.
What this means is that these algorithms perform well independently of the complexity or size of the school. It will always be effective and efficient.
Having a scheduler program that is very fast offers a few benefits:
· A better master schedule is created
· Quick and easy to redo schedules
· Multiple schedules can be built
· More complicated schedules can be built with ease
· Better solutions and are being worked with
· More time for you to do use your much needed skills elsewhere
