Integration Allows for Seamless Data Transfer to Increase
Efficiencies IRVINE, Calif., March 10 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ --
Scantron Corporation, a leading provider of testing and assessment
solutions for education, and Eagle Software, a leading developer of
administrative software for the K-12 market, today announced the
integration of Eagle Software's popular Aeries(TM) Student
Information System (SIS) with Scantron's Performance Series(TM), a
computer adaptive online assessment used in more than 350 school
districts nationwide. This expanded partnership provides schools
and districts with a turnkey solution that, for thefirst time,
integrates a Scantron testing and assessment solution with a
Student Information System (SIS). Eagle Software has developed a
data export feature that allows student data to be exported from
the Aeries SIS software, using a compatible format for seamless
integration into the Performance Series. "Importing the data from
Aeries SIS to Performance Series saves time and resources by
eliminating the need for teachers to manually enter student
information," said Tim Loomer, president of the testing and
assessment division at Scantron. "Instead, educators can focus
immediately on using Performance Series to assess their students
and utilize the results to create individual learning plans and
drive instruction efficiently." "Eagle Software and Scantron are
committed to helping educators become more effective," said John
Walden, vice president of Eagle Software. "Through this partnership
both companies are able to add value to our products and better
serve our mutual customers. Scantron has32 years of experience with
testing and assessment. Eagle Software has the leading student
information systems in California. Together, we offer schools a
unique opportunity to combine the best of both." Scantron is a
leading source of forms and scanners for Eagle software customers,
and has partnered with Eagle for almost a decade. The new
Aeries/Performance Series feature is now available to customers.
