"Many companies in the education industry have been selling individual packages. Grading package. Scheduling package. Courseware package. Now with the advent of application service providers and the Internet, it's possible to provide computing power and sophistication at the other end of the wire that schools heretofore very rarely have had the competence to accomplish on their own. As a result, publishers and applications providers have been able to become more and more ambitious in integrating these products which is leading to the opportunity for schools to make much more in the way of data-driven decisions."
