PRISM - Cross Institution SIS

PRISM Student Information System is a comprehensive cloud-based solution designed to streamline the management and registration of students within and across educational institutions

PRISM: Sharing Education

There has been a significant gap in the current generation of educational student information systems (SIS) and we at PRISM have been solving the problem; sharing of student data across boards, colleges, and schools. We have worked with numerous school boards and colleges across Ontario to develop effective solutions to these problems for eLearning and Dual Credit programs.

PRISM is a centralized registration, communication, tracking, and reporting platform, used by School Boards, Colleges and Consortium.

Accessing courses across School Boards requires a strong professional network, strategic collaborative planning, and well-defined processes and workflows. In addition, it also requires a powerful technological base that can facilitate registration, tracking, reporting, communication, and data analysis. This is where PRISM comes in…
