SIF is today's technology standard for sharing data in the pK12 environment. Imagine your district's administrative applications sharing data - regardless of platform or vendor. When a group of technology providers, educators and technology administrators began work on the Schools Interoperability Framework they did just that. Today the innovative thinking that started the SIF movement continues to set the standard - not only for horizontal data integration within districts and schools - but statewide vertical reporting as well.
The SIF standard includes multiple security options including encryption, authentication and access control.
Your data won't get lost or dropped with SIF's long persistent messaging model. Even when one or all of the components are offline for a time - SIF ensures an automatic recovery when components are restored.
The SIFWorks® platform from Edustructures is surprisingly inexpensive and there are no additional messaging products, third party databases or other hidden costs. Hardware requirements are modest and support is included in your pricing.
