The Big Scissors Event

Who knew that a Ribbon Cutting was actually accompanied by a giant pair of scissors?  This being my first time; I was not sure what to expect, but it was a fun and supportive ceremony.  The Boise Metro Chamber of Commerce is a very professional and personable organization.  I would recommend to anyone that your first marketing dollars be directed towards your local chamber of commerce.  The contacts and supporting structure are well work the annual fee; at least, that has been my experience here in Boise.  Thank you to the ambassadors who came out in force to support the opening of the Idaho HANE Solutions office (and for listening to my speech with a reference to "The Shining" and all).

Boise HANE Solutions Office - Ribbon Cutting

Business has been progressing nicely at our Boise office with the staff (me) in good morale.  Our 'official' ribbon cutting hosted by the Boise Metro Chamber of Commerce is being held on Tuesday, May 14th at 5:00 PM.  We will have catering, door prizes and no speeches!  We welcome anyone interested to attend at 6126 W State Street, Boise, ID 83703 in the upstairs reception room.

Thus far, we have signed several schools up for our SchoolDex school management system and are in the process of adding some excellent features.  As a former principal, I have been able to implement some key features that I feel will add value to our customers.  Some of those include:
  • Automated enrollment and lottery process for charter schools
  • ADA on the startup screen
  • Student growth data for administration, teachers and parents
  • Common Core standards into our gradebook, lesson plans and report cards
Some of the features are already up and running with the remaining in production.

We have also made inroads with local businesses to discuss the benefits of custom application development for their enterprises.
