Interoperability is a hot topic within the industry at present. The Government are calling upon suppliers to communicate information in one common format using what is termed as the ‘Systems Interoperability Framework (SIF)’. This framework will facilitate easy reporting from Schools to Local Authority and Local Authority to Central Government and back again.

As a company, Pearson Phoenix wholly endorse the ethos of system interoperability and dynamic exchange of information, and have incorporated the concept of interoperability into many of our software development programmes.

Our e¹ centrally hosted, web-based MIS already boasts interoperability with many leading learning platforms, text messaging services, biometric registration, financial, cashless catering and library systems.

As an organisation Pearson Plc acquired Edustructures at the beginning of 2008. Edustructures is the recognised leader in SIF Integration solutions and is based in the United States of America.
