On-Demand Districts need to focus on curriculum, instruction, and assessment, not on building or maintaining applications and systems. Until now, the world of education has lacked comprehensive systems for managing instructional improvement. The fragmentation of existing systems, combined with limited IT resources in districts, has created a significant need for an on-demand, integrated solution for evaluating instruction and learning. On-demand systems enable districts to focus on their core competency of teaching, not on IT. The popularity and growth of the on-demand model for instructional improvement is primarily driven by three critical factors inherent in this delivery method.  | Speed to implementation and ability to impact teaching and learning immediately |  |  | Minimal expense and risk incurred across the application life cycle | |  | Efficient use of qualified technical personnel available in-house | |
Together these factors offer districts lower total cost of ownership (TCO) and a significantly faster rate of return on achievement (ROA) when compared to traditional on-premise software installations. Using a hosted application from an outside vendor is a cost-effective solution to the inherent demands of systems ownership, such as up-front capital expenses, implementation challenges, and a continuing need for maintenance, upgrades and customization.
