Data interoperability is one of the most pressing challenges for
the K-12 education community today. The Schools
Interoperability Framework Association® (SIFA)
is a non-profit, member initiative with a common goal of providing
a platform independent, vendor neutral specification to enable K-12
software applications to share data quickly, dynamically, and securely.
The SIF® Specification makes it possible for applications within
a school or district to share data without additional programming
and without requiring each vendor to learn and support the intricacies
of other vendors applications.
Go.edustar is SIF-certified. This means your
district can seamlessly share data between Go.edustar and other
SIF-certified applications including; food service, library and
instructional management systems.
Benefits of a SIF-certified application are:
Eliminate redundant data entry
Eliminate manual data import/export routines
Reduce data correction/validation tasks
Increase the reliability of information exchange
Increase decision-making effectiveness with improved data analysis
Improve accuracy of information with timely receipt of mission
critical data
