The SIFWorks® Platform from Edustructures
Every SIF implementation requires a Zone Integration Server and individual SIF agents built to work with specific applications. Certified SIF Agents are those that have passed certification testing by the Open Group on behalf of the SIFA organization. For each application such as SASIxp or Powerschool or Follett Circulation Plus, there is only one certified SIF agent. For this reason - many SIF implementations involve the cooperative efforts of multiple vendors. At Z INTEGRATION we are able to provide you with the Certified SIF agents for a range of applications - including SASI, Follett, Sagebrush, Nutrikids and the SIFWorks Directory Manager for MS Active Directory. The majority of these SIF agents have been developed by Edustructures and share common design elements. If you use any of the above applications, we are your source for the corresponding SIF agent.
