Share data without additional programming

Since 1997, PowerSchool, government agencies, state departments of education and other industry leaders have worked together to develop the Schools Interoperability Framework (SIF). SIF ensures that your instructional and administrative software applications can share information seamlessly across multiple applications. The key benefit to your district is you gain immediate access to all your data, including information stored in different systems. This means you can make important decisions based on real-time data.

PowerSchool's commitment to SIF

PowerSchool is deeply commited to supporting the precepts of SIF. Mary McCaffrey, President of Pearson School Systems, is a member of the SIF Board of Directors.

"My role as co-chair on the SIF board has provided greater insight into the possibilities of SIF as the primary data sharing strategy for PowerSchool and other applications. We're committed to promoting SIF as the cost-effective industry standard."

What SIF means to you

  • You gain immediate access to all school data-including information that is stored in different systems.
  • You can integrate your instructional and administrative systems to increase efficiency and improve learning.
  • You can choose which technology applications best suit your district's needs.
  • You only need to enter data once in a single application-and that data is automatically updated in other applications.
  • You can publish secure reports to other SIF-compliant applications in school districts and state agencies.
  • You and your staff have access to real-time data to make important teaching and learning decisions.
