Two recent conversations with prospective clients have brought the Student Information System (SIS) topic to the fore. For the record, Newschoolyard is not actively developing data bridges, API tools, data shuttles or other web services to integrate web-based data with SIS data. Our view is that most schools fall into one of three camps:
1. Their scale and scope are such that the benefit of rich integration is negligible.
2. They seek the Holy Grail of a completely integrated system.
