The Ed-Fi Alliance provides tremendously valuable K-12 data standards and technologies to enable interoperability across disparate systems (SIS, Assessment, etc.) and more holistic, student centric analytics. However, effectively implementing and supporting the technologies Ed-Fi provides and generating the analytics they enable still requires consider cloud and other technical expertise.

IntePort’s Ed-Fi Implementation Suite for Azure solution makes it simple for K-12 IT groups to deploy the full Ed-Fi technology stack for a single district or multiple districts in minutes – with no cloud or technical expertise required.
