Development Completed in 2017
Staffroom software is being updated and improved all the time. We are able to release changes without bringing the Staffroom sites down which means that upgrades don’t affect your school’s access to Staffroom at any time (and we think that is great), but that does mean we can’t always keep everyone up to date with all of the smaller changes we’ve made.
Smaller changes are completed and released every week and we communicate these to the client who requested the change. When we make larger changes we communicate these out via email, facebook and twitter, but smaller changes are not necessarily communicated to everyone. For that reason we have decided to publish a summary of the development work we’ve completed. This is only a summary so if there is a particular change you would like more information about please contact our support team support@eiffelcorp.co.za.
