Social Solutions Joins Ed-Fi Alliance to Streamline SIS Data Interoperability with Apricot 360

Case and outcomes management platform demonstrates commitment to interoperability giving nonprofits a 360-degree view of participants

Social Solutions Global, the leading provider of case and outcomes management solutions for nonprofit and public sector social service agencies, announced it has joined the Ed-Fi Alliance, dramatically improving the interoperability of School Information System (SIS) data with nonprofit data in Apricot 360, the most advanced tool for measuring, and managing to, outcomes.

Unifying, standardizing and organizing data is a significant challenge for all types of organizations, especially those with limited resources like nonprofits and schools. By leveraging the data standard developed by the Ed-Fi Alliance, Social Solutions is able to streamline the process of making SIS data available in Apricot 360, while reducing the amount of effort for both school districts and nonprofits.

“Nonprofits and schools each play a crucial role in serving our students, but historically they have operated in silos,” said Joel Martins, Chief Technology Officer of Social Solutions. “We’re excited to reduce, and potentially eliminate, the barriers to data sharing between community partner service providers and schools to help them collaborate better for optimal outcomes for all students.”

By providing access to disparate data sources, including SIS data in the Apricot 360 platform, Social Solutions gives participating community service providers the ability to leverage the power of data to proactively identify risks, take action and drive the best outcomes for youth in their programs.
