Case StudyOcoee Middle School

• SituationThe 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

DemonstrationEAI

Case StudyBallston 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

Data is now accessible, and because it is entered once, it is much more accurate

Creating reports is simplified because separate systems are able to share data

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

• Standards-based• Supports SIF, EDI, XML, SOAP• Ensures flexibility, interoperability with any member

of the educational community

• Guaranteed “once only” delivery of documents• Comprehensive document tracking and logging• Failover clustering support

• Secure document exchange• Support latest security features

Case StudyRamsey 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

Information can now easily be shared between separate databases

School and district data can be changed in one step instead of many, saving time and resources

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

Roadmap to EAI

• Learn about BizTalk Server on http://www.microsoft.com/biztalk/• Download BizTalk Server Evaluation Edition• Conduct a short pilot project (1-2 weeks)

• Consider end-to-end integration scenarios (including internal and external applications)

• Include multiple business document formats (XML, flat files, EDI files, etc.)

• Benchmark performance throughput if important• Consider deployment and maintenance implications• Participate directly in all integration work• Best way to fairly compare products

and minimize your substantial risk
