Overview
Welcome to the most powerful fund accounting and HR/payroll system available to education! An intuitive, comprehensive system designed from the ground up specifically for the unique needs of education. Escape is not just a collection of individual modules. This system was designed as a complete, fully integrated solution, running in an online/real-time environment. 

EXPECTING MORE FROM ESCAPE TECHNOLOGY To paraphrase a character in an old TV show, “It’s great when a plan comes together!” And that is exactly what happened with Escape’s business plan, first put together by the three founders in 1989. At that time we had a collection of individual school business departmental modules, such as purchasing, fixed assets, work orders, etc. 

During the 1990s, our plan was to create an integrated finance system, including HR and payroll, while continuing to implement individual modules as needed. Toward the end of that decade we were ready to expand to support County Office of Education functionality. But the dominance of Microsoft Windows required a change of plans. Our system was based on DOS and clearly that was not the way of the future. In 2001 we set a bold new course, a “fresh start” project, developed from the ground up as a County Office of Education system. We utilized Microsoft’s .Net development platform and SQL Server as the database. 

We partnered with our two COE customers, who had implemented our DOS system for their districts. No shortage of feedback there! We also had a number of other COEs advising us to create the “ultimate COE school business system.” We named this system Escape Online 5. In 2007, we went live at Placer COE and all their districts – the first new county-wide implementation. As of early 2015, we have 18 COEs and their districts (over 330 organizations total) live and in production. 

When you combine: 30+ years of experience writing school business software for all application areas, including feedback from thousands of users at over 330 organizations, including 18 COEs and 8 CCDs. Experience with several different Windows development environments. A consistent team of people dedicated to writing, implementing and supporting quality software. Today’s state-of-the-art development, database and reporting platforms. You have one notable project! No other company is better suited than Escape Technology to produce this truly revolutionary school business system.
