Q.
|
Can we run AOIS locally instead of using Corporate Computer hosting services?
|
|
|
A.
|
Yes, this can be done. We are very careful about doing this as AOIS is a large,
integrated application that runs concurrently on six to fifteen servers and requires
close monitoring. There is no cost advantage in running AOIS on your own servers.

Q.
|
What if our schools want to have more documents in their files to go completely paperless?
|
|
|
A.
|
AOIS is very scaleable and can handle very large files both in tree structure and
in the number of records contained in the files. We know that on the average Michigan
Authorizers review between 700 and 1,000 pages of documentation for each charter
school every year. Corporate Computer will allow up to 3,000 pages per school and
after that point charge $.08 per page per year.

Q.
|
What happens if Corporate Computer gets purchased?
|
|
|
A.
|
Central Michigan University owns the intellectual property of AOIS. We provide them
with periodic source code updates so they always have executable code for back-up.
In addition, CMU has a long-term agreement with Corporate Computer to provide AOIS
for our clients. If a new owner met CMU's requirements, they could continue to serve
Corporate Computer clients.

Q.
|
Is AOIS web-based?
|
|
|
A.
|
AOIS runs in our secure datacenter using dedicated servers that are accessed through
the Internet. Clients use passwords and login identification to access AOIS. It
is much more secure than the average web site.

Q.
|
Are my records backed up?
|
|
|
A.
|
Yes, Corporate Computer backs up changed files nightly and does full-file back-ups
each weekend. In addition, we do monthly and quarterly back-ups that are retained
for one year. Back-up tapes are stored off-site in a secure, humidity controlled
vault twenty miles away. Tapes are rotated daily in and out of the vault.
