Student information system

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia


A student information system (SIS) is a software application for education establishments to
manage student data. Student Information Systems (often abbreviated as SIS systems) provide
capabilities for entering student test and other assessment scores, build student schedules, track
student attendance, and manage many other student-related data needs in a school.
The SIS is equivalent to an Enterprise Resource Planning or ERP system for a corporate customer.
As such, many of the issues with ERP System Selection Methodology, implementation, and
operation of an ERP system apply too.
Functions
These systems vary in size, scope and capability, from packages that are implemented in relatively
small organizations to cover student records alone, to enterprise-wide solutions that aim to cover
most aspects of running large multi-campus organizations with significant local responsibility. Many
systems can be scaled to different levels of functionality by purchasing add-on "modules" and can
typically be configured by their home institutions to meet local needs.
