Last week the College went live with our parent platform for Schoolbox and updates to our Digistorm App to implement authenticated secure access. K12 Solutions and their PIPS service provided the glue. Dean and Kent from K12 Solutions made the process straightforward for us, supporting the implementation and integration along the way. Not only did they provide a great parent authentication solution, they also helped us develop a more in-depth connection between Schoolbox, Digistorm and other College systems. PIPS certainly made the job of parental authentication across systems seamless. K12 Solutions and their Parent Identity Passport Services (PIPS) came along to us just at the right time. We were establishing a new Learning Management System at College and were looking for an easily managed parent authentication method. I heard of the many problems that can exist when you try to incorporate parent authentication into traditional methods and the workflow made the process seem daunting. Support from vendors can be lacking, but I can safely say Dean and Kent go above and beyond, responding to any issues raised in a short time frame. They have given me some of the best service I have encountered, and I do not hesitate to recommend K12 Solutions and PIPS.

I have had the pleasure of being an associate of Kent since first meeting, in 2005 if I recall correctly when he was at St Pauls and I was at St Joseph’s College Toowoomba in similar roles. Over the following years Kent has been a reliable confidant whom I have often consulted about approaches to resolving business problems through our respective roles in ICT. He has been instrumental in bringing together the ICT / IT – CIO/Directors/Managers in Qld and beyond through associations with ITMEL. I highly recommend Kent as a valuable consultant with integrity and a considered approach to evaluating your ICT investment (people and technologies) to align with the business’s goals.
