Consulting Services for the Education Community
FMS has delivered a wide variety of systems to the education community.
Here are some recent examples that are making an impact on how data is
managed, shared, and optimized for decision making:
Managing Course Content
The Defense Acquisition University
is the education branch
of the Department of Defense charged with
training and
providing continuing education for all branches of the US military.
FMS has created a
competency requirements management
web site
for
their instructors, students, and managers. The system ensures
the training courses continue to cover the topics necessary for
developing the careers of the students.
Case
Study Competition for Female Entrepreneurs
The George Washington University School of Business wanted to
create a case study competition and research website
for female business owners to share their life experiences.
Called the Hot Mommas Project, our web site is now the largest
such public collection in the world and includes tagging and integration with social networking sites
like Facebook and Twitter. A dynamic user interface based on AJAX technologies
enhances the user experience.
Managing Interviews of College Applicants
Harvard College is the
oldest and most competitive university in the country.
Harvard provides a personal interview to each applicant through
its alumni network. FMS created a
desktop and web solution to
manage the complex matching of candidates to interviewers, so
each candidate is interviewed in a timely manner. Assignments
are emailed, and a web site created to
accept assignments and upload interview write-ups, while managers
can review the status throughout the admissions interview season.
Understanding Education Issues at the Local Level
FMS president Luke Chung
has served several years
on the business and community advisory board to the superintendent
of schools for Fairfax County, Virginia, one of the largest and
best public school systems in the country. He is currently
serving on the Teacher Performance Evaluation Task Force.
He also serves on the
Fairfax County
Information Technology Policy Advisory Committee (ITPAC)
representing the school board. Luke was appointed to this
county level group to advise the Board of Supervisors on the county's
technology investments and future direction.

FMS has supported and created Microsoft Access and SQL Server solutions
for the desktop and web for many other
institutions of higher education:
