  Dedicated to helping meet your goals...

Thank you for visiting our Janus Group website. We hope your time will be well spent as you browse through our School uses of web technology.

Previous generations knew full well that paper answers, as a solution to organization communications, was outmoded, expensive, and labor intensive. With the introduction of the web and browser enabled tools available to everyone, a remarkable breakthrough to a better way has been found. The folks here at Janus strive to search out those communication opportunities that only the web can take to full potential. On this site, we hope you find some answers to your own systems challenges.

We feel that our innovative applications, as demonstrated here on our site, are only touching the surface of future opportunities and we intend to keep reaching for more innovative, intuitive and informative ways to do things. Please look at our site with your "what if" hat on and try to imagine how our application services might work with your organization's culture.

We hope to hear from you and promise you that we will work with you in a personal and creative manner.
