PowerSchool Premier ships

Apple's division today released PowerSchool Premier, a new SQL database-enabled version of its web-based, student information system (SIS). The new database option offers "a mature solution that can meet the needs of schools and districts that are much larger, complex, or have more sophisticated technology requirements," according to the press release. The system offers an "Open SIS" approach through a hardware-independent platform, enables compliance with the Schools Interoperability Framework (SIF), and now provides a scalable database connectivity solution. PowerSchool Premier offers ODBC connectivity, includes a bundled SIF agent, and a built-in Sybase SQL database.
