Here is a history lesson for all you content users. The history of TV4Education and how it all started.
About 7 years ago we had a library system called eLibrary. One of our biggest users put the question to us “why don’t we catalogue and stream “VEA content”?
Having never heard of streaming let alone “VEA Content” we decided to investigate on behalf of our user.
Our developers started investigating what needed to be done to stream multimedia content and I decided I would contact this company called “VEA” from country Victoria”.
Chasing VEA was a project in and of itself. We left numerous messages and letters putting forward our request and explaining how we would grow their user base by streaming their content from our library system (something that had never been done).
After persisting for 6 months, someone from VEA did answer my phone call. I remember the day and the phone call very well because of the response I got to my request.
I was told if no one responded to my calls and communications, I should be well aware that they were not interested in talking to me!
My shocked response was “my goodness, what a response, all you are doing is setting up a competitor”. Her response on the phone was “whatever, good luck” and she hung up!
The rest is history and www.tv4education.com was born about 24 months later after lots of development and even more discussions with our end users on how they would like to see the product develop.
www.tv4education.com is never standing still as we constantly keep talking to teachers, curriculum coordinators, and education professionals.
In a world where cost is escalating almost monthly, our cost to users are trending down as we continue to grow our subscriber base – and that’s in line with our business ethos that “education is a right and not a privilege”.

Just finalized and released SmartSuite CLOUD project this year – and proud of my amazing staff
At Functional Solutions International Pty Ltd, our core belief is that “Education is a right and not a privilege”.
Everything we do is predicated on this belief and hence to make sure no educational institution is disadvantaged because of financial constraints and any technology constraints.
No other hosting provider provides a more innovative, robust, cost effective FIXED cost hosting solution for educational institutions – guaranteed!
We built SmartSuite from the ground up to be an educational platform that would give any school a set of world class educational tools that would require: –
Our feature and function list keep growing every month as institutions come on board and request additional functionality which is provided at no extra cost.
SmartLibrary CLOUD is the most innovative cost-effective product to hit the education space, ever!
We believe we have achieved our goal to bring World Class Educational CLOUD solutions to any educational institution without requiring “big budget expenditure” and delivering a CLOUD solution that far out rivals anything in the current market on functions and features.
As we keep saying “Education is a right and not a privilege”.
I am so proud of my team of what we have achieved and continue to achieve for education!
Some things I don’t understand like, x months free offers.
My old cynic self-says: –
Will we ever consider offering anything for free? Not really as I would never be able to cross off my own 6 points above.
Nothing in this commercial world is free, it’s usually just a con or worse still, a trap!
I once put my Gmail account on the web for 1 month and said ANY free offers send it here….
Stupid me, I thought I would be able to then sell all this free stuff and retire, sadly I am still here working, and charging a fair price for a fair days work.

Cyberhate Wth Tara Moss – In The Beginning
SmartSuite is the newest product from Functional Solutions, we have provided Library Management systems for over 28 years and TV content from TV4Education for 7.
In that time we have continued to innovate our systems and forcing the market to become more competitive and customer focused. Working alongside teachers and Librarians has made the system fit perfectly into the way they use it every day.
Our core belief is that Education is a right, not a privilege.
Join our CEO as he talks about how TV4Education began.
In that short time, we have well over 100,000 educational videos requested by teachers within Australia (4x More than our closest competitor). Each and every video has had their ads removed. This was done right from the beginning so that we don’t add more work to your staffs’ already incredibly busy work load.
We also provide all channels from free to air and Foxtel, with unlimited daily requests. You want it? We will get it, we aren’t here to tell you what resources you should be using, we are here to support you to make sure you get what you need.
We also match the best of YouTube videos to the Australian curriculum so your staff doesn’t have to spend hours looking for that perfect video. We currently have over 45,000 videos for you to use.
If you still haven’t found what you are looking for, you can send us a request to have resources found for you and we will send them ready to use. So you can focus on all the aspects of work that come along with teaching.
Access hundreds of lessons ready to use from TV4Education and Atom Lessons, with the videos matched to them.
Lesson planning can be reduced by up to 90% by using the Smart Tools from SmartSuite.
A topic that isn’t always considered when choosing a system.
Cost is a huge factor some hosting providers charge schools thousands a year. Here at Functional Solutions, we own our cloud. This means no hidden costs, all content from us is free to store in the system.
The second is security. Do you know where your data is stored and if it is safe? If your provider uses a cloud provider that stores data outside of Australia, you might be in breach of the rules from the Education Department. With more and more cyber attacks making sure your data is safe should be something you take into consideration.
Functional Solutions has the latest in security patches and firewalls to keep your data safe.
If you are unsure about what to look out for in the cloud you can read this post.
The advanced features of the Library System within SmartSuite truly need to be seen. You can book in a demo at the bottom of this page & see how this will work for your school.
With the widget based system that is SmartSuite the system will continue to grow with the ever changing needs of schools. Allowing you to use the system in the way that works for you.
Other systems talk about Integration
– an act or instance of integrating an organization, place of business, school, etc.
Why do they integrate? Because they only offer one solution to the many that are essential to running your school. Using multiple companies means more training for staff, longer down times, greatly reduced efficiency switching between systems and all at a much higher cost.
The latest blog post from our CEO discusses these problems within the industry.
Have a look at SmartSuite, we have been working with schools for as long as I have been alive (28 years is a long time for an I.T. company) and we have launched the best system we have ever made.
Have a look at what other schools are saying about SmartSuite.
