SIS^J2K (Java for the 21st century) maximizes your institution’s ability to do more with less by building on the capabilities of an open architecture that facilitates best—of—breed functionality at a significantly reduced cost. Implemented fully or as individual modules, our solution enables more consistent, effective and safe access to student data by administrators, students, and parents alike. The total SIS^J2K product line consists of:

• Common: provides a single repository for all biographic and demographic information;
• Admission: allows each admission office to independently define its policies and procedures;
• Housing: accommodates both a hotel-environment room assignment feature, in addition to the traditional room assignment process for students;
• Financial Aid: supports rapid response to federally mandated regulatory changes which require software modifications throughout the year;
• Student Records: provides institutions with rule-based processors to manage and evaluate academic progress without having to customize the baseline software; and
• Student Accounts: serves as a clearing house for all financial activity for both students and third party sponsors paying for students’ tuition and fees.

The Informs architecture provides institutions with a solution that:

• Runs on a variety of hardware and software platforms;
• Utilizes the J2EE^TM development standard;
• Supports an n-tier architecture in which the presentation, business, and data tiers are separated by logical and, if desired, physical boundaries; and
• Employs source code that is independent of platform, application server, database, and web browser consideration.
