Student information systems are software applications used by educational institutions to manage student data such as test scores, schedules, attendance, and other information. They allow schools to enter and track various student-related data and serve similar functions to enterprise resource planning systems used by businesses. These systems can vary in size and capabilities, ranging from small packages for student records to large, enterprise-wide solutions that aim to support running multi-campus organizations.

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.
