Editure

SINA Network provides a complete Internet management software service for schools. It is a web-based management tool that allows each education authority and school to define and monitor their user's Internet access and activities. SINA Network manages all access to the Internet and is accessed via a dedicated network.

Benefits:

The SINA Network management software is accessed through an Internet browser, and thereby doesn't require additional investment in hardware, complicated software installation or extensive technical expertise.

• The school SINA administrator can login and use the point and click tools immediately, with no training required
• Schools' Internet use and costs can be closely monitored to ensure that the school Internet budget is achieved
• Schools can set access controls to filter Internet websites, reducing the chance of exposure to inappropriate material
• Single sign on to all Editure software is a time saving feature that also limits the number of passwords that a user must retain (also enhancing security, reducing administration and improving usability for younger pupils)
• Remote access anywhere and anytime
• Unlimited number of user accounts for each school for no extra cost
• Upgrades and enhancements to the software are part of the license fee
• Service Level Agreements are provided around this service so that you know what to expect
• Secured data from loss or theft through our backup procedures, network monitoring, firewalls and secured facilities
• Predictable monthly bill, without the surprise of IT consulting fees or unbudgeted hardware and software expenses
• Allocation of user names comes from the administration system in the school, so you only create an account once for all Editure software products
• Email address is with the school domain structure, whereas other commercial webmail products have their corporate name in the allocated address
• Schools have the flexibility to create their own naming structure for their users accounts (unlike many other commercial providers)

SINA Remote

SINA is a complete web based Internet management software product developed specifically for the K-12 community. First developed in 1996, Editure has since been working closely with education authorities to develop a program that incorporates only some of the functions of SINA Network, for those who do not require a full management system.

SINA Remote offers some of the management functions of SINA Network without Internet traffic passing through the SINA proxies. This is particularly relevant for education authorities who:

• Manage URL (web) filtering and cost control from local servers
• Do not have a dedicated VPN/WAN access
• Have a proxy server on site
• Through the SINA Remote product, access is available to the SINA web-based management tools to create and maintain an Internet presence for their schools.

Features and Benefits:

• Access anywhere, anytime through any ISP via an Internet browser
• Education authority doesn't have to maintain a web and an email server
• Email accounts are provided for ALL users in the deployment
• By providing access to mymail, schools reduce the risk of virus infection on their networks (Unlike some email software, mymail does not automatically run attachments)
• Upgrades to the software as part of the license fee
• Service Level Agreements are negotiated for this service that so that you know what to expect
