Schools Interoperability Framework: Share Information with Other SIF Applications

The Schools Interoperability Framework (SIF) is an industry initiative that developed an open technical specification enabling different applications within a school district to interact SIF Certified Version 1.5 and share data.

VersaTrans SIF Agent is a software program that conforms to SIF specifications. It allows VersaTrans Routing & Planning to share data with other SIF-certified K-12 applications used in your district such as student information databases, instructional services, library automation, food service and others. The result is access to more complete information on students and significant benefits for all decision-makers across your school district.

Decrease data errors, increase information exchange

Not only will you experience a vast decrease in outdated data, redundant data entry and data entry errors, you will be able to exchange data more freely and create powerful reports that otherwise would be impossible. For example, school administrators could see in a single report whether there is a relationship between the amount of time a student spends on the bus each day and their performance in school. Information like this enables school administrators to better understand and serve their student population.

VersaTrans has been a member of SIF since its inception and we became the first software vendor to receive SIF certification for our applications. Now school districts that want to share data among applications can rely on VersaTrans Routing & Planning to send and receive data to and from other district databases and applications using VersaTrans SIF Agent.
