Education


The demand for technology in today's schools and universities has never been greater, but in many cases the funding provided to fuel this technology is extremely limited. This trend presents a great challenge to school administrators to find cost efficient solutions that are powerful, stable, user friendly, and scalable for future growth. 

A Comprehensive Solution 
The WebGUI Content Management System provides schools with a comprehensive solution they can use to manage their:

  • Public Website
  • Intranet
  • Parent/Student Portals
  • Academic Catalog
  • Class Registration

Instead of using multiple vendors and software packages, schools can use a single solution for all of their needs. This bypasses the normal expense involved in customizing different software packages to work together.

Licensing Costs

The WebGUI Content Management System is completely open source and under the GPL 2 license agreement. It is freely available for download without any cost to your school and you'll never have to pay for upgrades or future versions. No licensing fees. Period.

Standardized, User Friendly Interface

WebGUI includes a powerful WYSIWYG rich text editor which allows for text formatting, image uploads, hyperlink creation, and HTML manipulation. The standardized interface and editor are very similar to popular office software suites and therefore require little or no training for new administrators, teachers, or students.

Professional Services

Plain Black Corporation develops the WebGUI Content Management System and provides professional services such as commercial support, training, books, hosting, design, and custom development.

"The age-old fear most IT professionals have towards implementing open source solutions has to do with the usual lack of documentation and support. Plain Black has replaced that fear with the documentation and support that exceeds most non-open source product offerings. Most people can see that open source makes sense, considering budget limitations. Plain Black helps make the open source implementation concept a feasible reality."
