Difficulties in implementation

Long before I retired from being a computer coordinator for our district, SIF was in the news.

The reality for my district was changing Student Information Management software three times in 10 years (and a fourth since '06 when I retired). In each case, the transfer of data from one system to the next was a major undertaking. Demographic data was the most straight forward, though not at all easy. Grade histories, were not possible and scheduling either had to be run in parallel or done in a rush after the close of the school year, making summer more hectic for administrators, guidance counselors and tech staff.

This kind of "longitudinal" data exchange didn't make me expect much from SIF which started being touted as a feature of SIMs software with the second of the switches.

Now, going further to cross implementation...Good luck.
