Description:
From Epicenter to Aerie
What did Epicenter do for CCS - reporting site that processed charter applications and managed compliance to automating workflow and evaluating performance, Osprey Wilds is currently transitioning away from Epicenter to a newly constructed platform, Aerie. The name is inspired by an Osprey's nest! The site is very similar (and simpler) than Epicenter, and the transition should be quite smooth from the school's end. We are excited to offer a platform that we believe will be easier to navigate and better supports the exchange of documentation between OW and schools. We plan to launch Aerie with schools in August. Main users at CCS are Kelly Bittner and Cheryl Cole. |
