ClassLink - new myCUE Member Benefit

CUE has secured a unique benefit for its members.  We have negotiated priority pricing for an innovative new product in the marketplace, ClassSync™ from ClassLink.  This utility is a tremendous time-saver for any school’s IT team because it automatically synchronizes the Active Directory to the school’s  Student Information System, one of the most time-consuming and repetitive IT tasks. This synchronization is critical, especiallynow, at the beginning of the school year. Synchronization typically takes hours or days to complete for even a modest-sized school district. With ClassSync, the average synchronization takes less than 45 minutes.

Until November 30th, CUE members are entitled to a 30% discount off an annual subscription which allows for an unlimited number of synchronizations. This pricing is very attractive for CUE members. For example, for a school district with an enrollment of fewer than 3000, the myCUE member subscription cost is only $995, with tiered pricing for schools with greater enrollments. No matter what size district, the time savings is significant. To purchase ClassSync now, please call Jonathan Kertesz toll free: 1-888-963-7550 x107, or email at jkertesz@classlink.com.  Be sure to mention the myCUE discount.
