“We didn't have an SIS consultant for our implementation and we wish we did. It would have saved a lot of time, mistakes and headaches. During implementation, we questioned our SIS decision but after working with an expert, we were confident in our implementation.”
— Jim @ Episcopal School of Jacksonville
Leading an implementation is not easy.
Reasons Things Go Off Track
-
Training, data verification, support, tickets, day-to-day operations - it all takes a lot of time.
-
Sometimes you don’t know how things are supposed to work and wonder - is it a problem or just lack of training?
-
Making sure everyone knows what’s going on and what effects them, and at the right time, is hard.
-
When data is not loaded correctly or is non-existent, reports and configuration doesn’t work.
-
Many have never done an SIS implementation before, let alone one for your new system. It’s hard to understand the full picture when you have never done it.
Problems That Follow
Unhappy users & directors
Internal user frustration
Painful conversations with the Head of School
Wasted time
Poor reflection on the school - the tech office in particular
Everyone second guesses your SIS decision
