Discovery Software's new SIS Liberty lets school administrators export student data from your Student Information System (SIS) and import that data into other applications. This application is a non-SIF based tool that is easy and inexpensive to manage.

1. Your School,Your Data

2. Your School,Your Data

3. There are a lot of software products that would
benefit your school – and your students – if only
those products could access the right data,
without endangering privacy.

4. SIS Liberty allows you to easily share your
student information with other applications
while keepingYOU in control of your data.

5. Raw student data can be enhanced through
controlled data export to other trusted
applications.

6. Liberty acts as a gateway to
limit direct access to your SIS database.
Data remains safely on servers within your
school or district throughout the entire process.

7. Avoid the need for custom built integrations
to other products.
Once
extracted, you
can easily and
inexpensively
re-use SIS data
across multiple
applications.

8. You can define subsets of data specific
to particular people or applications

9. You control
where your data
goes, who can see
it, exactly how
much is sent, and
in what format it’s
delivered.

10. Without SIS Liberty, your school
data is trapped in your Student
Information System. Liberate it!

11. How it works

12. Discovery Software has spent more than 20
years creating over 100 Bridge Plugins for
different SIS databases and keeping them
current.

13. Bridge Plugins extract SIS data and put it into
SIS Liberty's Generalized School Database.
There are two steps.

14. The Bridge stores the SIS data in a proprietary
intermediate format (PDE and PDU files).
Step 1:

15. Each school’s PDE and PDU files are stored in
their own folder, managed in Liberty’s Schools
tab.
Step 1:

16. Liberty then applies business rules to the data
in the PDE/PDU files and stores the results in
its Generalized School Database, which uses
both a proprietary structure (XDB) plus
SQLite.
Step 2:

17. Because all bridges are different, they need
different settings. The Bridge itself generates
the user interface displayed in Liberty’s
Sources tab.
Step 2:

18. Providers are the plugins that send data from
the Liberty database to other applications.
Every application that gets its data from
Liberty requires its own Provider plugin.
Step 2:

19. The Datasets tab lets you choose and name
subsets of data from the Liberty Database.
Step 2:

20. The Recipients tab is where you select which
kind of data set each person should receive,
and which application will be using that data
(so that it’s in the application’s desired form).
Step 2:

21. Your data is sent directly from your school and
only to the destinations specified in the
Providers that you install.

22. You stay in control for one
simple reason:
It’s your school, and
your data.
