Enterprise Application Integration (EAI) Integration Within the Educational Environment Name Title

Agenda • Key concerns • Increasing school responsiveness by improving integration between all applications • The Microsoft® enterprise application integration solution explored • Roadmap to effective application integration • Resources

New School Imperatives • The connected school requires systems that • • Are enterprise quality Are extremely flexible Leverage existing infrastructure investments Empower faculty, staff and students

Enterprise Application Integration Key concerns What our customers are saying • • • Not getting maximum value out of current technology investments Need to make strategic decisions, faster Systems and processes not integrated together well enough to provide seamless exchange of information

Primary and Secondary Schools Key IT Concerns • Provide the right information to the right parties quickly and efficiently through application integration • Bring legacy systems to the Web, including enterprise portal initiatives • Develop Web-based systems and on-demand student services • Optimize services for teachers, staff administrators, parents and students

Higher Education Key IT Concerns • Find technologies and services that will unify disparate campus environments • Optimize services (e. g. online registration, virtual registrar) for students, faculty, staff and administrators • Enable students, staff and faculty to access information and services through Web-based capabilities • Facilitate information exchange from legacy campus systems to newer campus systems

Enterprise Application Integration Increases Agility l Proven Quality Immediate Value Flexibility l l Improve ability for you to: Ø Automate Processes Ø Integrate Information Sharing Ø Control Costs l Automate complex education processes easily Manage and monitor school processes Improve integration with faculty, students, parents and staff l l Maximize Productivity Control costs, resource requirements and complexity of integration projects Maximize value of existing technology investments l l Capitalize on existing skill sets Minimize learning curve for new solutions

Maximizing IT Value Proven Quality Immediate Value Flexibility Maximize Productivity Integrate with virtually any application or technology Systems must integrate Heterogeneous systems Legacy applications Isolated islands of data

Case Study Ocoee Middle School • Situation The Ocoee administration and faculty had a vision for their school: • Easy access to technology • Student email • A home-school connection for parents • Electronic student portfolios • Solution • • • Deploy a Zone Integration Server for all communications between servers Allow the easy exchange of information by implementing the School’s Interoperability Framework Standard Utilize the complete Chancery Student Management Solution

Results Ø Data can now be shared seamlessly between departments Ø Processes that were duplicated are now completed in one step Ø With the entire school on the Windows 2000 Platform, students and teachers now have the information they need at their fingertips

Immediate Value Proven Quality Immediate Value Flexibility Maximize Productivity • • • SIF Compatible Utilizes existing technical infrastructure Seamless Information Sharing Across All Applications and Platforms

Demonstration EAI

Case Study Ballston Spa Central School District • Situation • • The district is connected by a Wide Area Network (WAN) but data is not easily accessible Information is isolated within schools, buildings and databases, and is often inaccurate Disparate software packages are unable to share information Solution • • • Implement the Schools Interoperability Framework so data can be shared seamlessly and used universally Deploy a Zone Integration Server (ZIS), a central clearing house for all SIF communications Utilizes of Extensible Markup Language (XML) format

Results Ø Data is now accessible, and because it is entered once, it is much more accurate Ø Creating reports is simplified because separate systems are able to share data Ø Interoperability is no longer a problem, allowing schools to use the best solutions available

Quote “A major part of my job is to gather information for state and local reporting--data that helps us get funding and helps us assess the needs of the district. As short a period as five years ago, we were collecting much of this data by pencil and paper. Using SIF will improve the efficiency and the accuracy of my reporting enormously. For example, now when a student is entered into the system from any application – student information or transportation – that information is accessible to everyone. ” -Dr. Helen Stuetzel, Director of Instruction, Ballston Spa

Flexibility • Proven Quality Standards-based • • • Immediate Value Guaranteed “once only” delivery of documents • • • Maximize Productivity Comprehensive document tracking and logging Failover clustering support Secure document exchange • Flexibility Supports SIF, EDI, XML, SOAP Ensures flexibility, interoperability with any member of the educational community Support latest security features

Case Study Ramsey Elementary School • Situation • • Databases within the school cannot share information Incompatible systems require inputting student data multiple times • Solution • • Streamline sharing of information by implementing the Schools Interoperability Framework Deploy a Zone Integration Server (ZIS), a central clearing house for all SIF communications

Results Ø Information can now easily be shared between separate databases Ø School and district data can be changed in one step instead of many, saving time and resources Ø Ramsey Elementary can now choose the best software and hardware available for each educational function

Quote “Now that we have this interconnectedness at the building level, the framework will allow us to take the next step and connect with our community. And when I’m talking about community, I’m talking specifically about parents but also the business community and the county government too. We need to build on these relationships and connect our community with our school. ” -Stan Peichel, Principal, Ramsey Elementary School
