Major Questions from Teachers 1.Compatibility – which we discussed  Always encourage them to upgrade their systems 2007  Might have to tell them to talk to districts about their needs 2.They don’t know Paradigm  Focus on small company mentality – better customer service 3.Integration when they are using other applications that support their books right now…for instance (SAM)  We have the ONLY application on the market right now for 2007 (SNAP or EMC interactive)
