Dedicated Environment
Timetabling Solutions cloud applications are hosted by us, using Microsoft Azure.
This means the applications you log in to are running on machines not located at your school but in a facility in South East Australia.
The fee you pay to use our applications incorporates the fees Microsoft charges us to use their service.
Timetabling Solutions currently provides 2 options to cater for its clients' varying needs and priorities.
Our most cost-effective plan is applied to all schools by default
- Your data is in an environment that includes other clients. The resources are shared, spreading the cost across many clients, under heavy usage, your access may slow
- This plan will create queues when processing your integrations and exporting your data
- A typical LISS integration (directly sending a timetable and daily changes to a Student Admin System) may take up to 20 minutes per send to complete.
- We assign this plan by default, as not all schools export data or use the integration service.
- Price is determined by the size of your school, starting from AUD1,995 pa for schools with fewer than 500 students
Our premium plan is called a Dedicated Environment, 12-month term, additional fees apply
- Designed to provide total isolation, control and security
- Only your data and only your users access our applications, providing uncontested access and no queues
- Updates and upgrades from time to time require maintenance outages, you can set preferences of the day/time for them to occur
- Uses a subdomain to access ie your users would log in with the address https://[school abbreviated name].timetabling.education
- Your existing users and data can be exported from the existing cloud and imported in your new dedicated environment
- Your settings on Task 5 in the Management Portal (SSO and Email Server) would need to be re-entered
- Any user logs (Task 8 in the Management Portal ) would not be transferable
- Includes all our cloud apps, Course Manager, Daily Organiser, Daily Reports, Staffing, Staff Access Portal, Student Access Portal
