What is student information system and what are its benefits!

Managing a school is a critical task, where school administration & staff members have to manage and store all student related-data such as admissions, financial records, medical records, attendance records, exam reports, guardian details, assignment management, and many other items. A Student Information System (SIS) is basically a software solution that enables educational institutions to digitize and parallely manage student information more efficiently. More specifically, it is a system that allows educational institutions to make all student information — that was previously stored in legacy systems — available online.

In doing so, they manage to automate related administrative and academic processes, thus making them much more efficient.

It ensures that student data is centralized at one location, accessible by teachers, parents, and students, and is secured by access restrictions.
