With a goal of simplifying the user experience for parents who visit a school web site looking for information that (unknown to them) resides within the school’s Student Information System, not in the web site database, inRESONANCE has completed seamless integration projects with all three major web site providers to the independent school market. Today WhippleHill posted a demo on its web site of a single sign-on (SSO) integration with iR.

While an institution has good reasons for separating the school’s core database from the website, parents and students do not need to know these functions are separate. Schools can use inRESONANCE databases and web services in combination with a web site powered by either WhippleHill, finalsite, or Silverpoint and grant SSO access to parents, students or both. This integration allows users instant access to iR’s Family Access Module (FAM) for KEYSTONE, where grades/comments, attendance and graphic schedules can be posted.



"Schools understand the benefit of tight integration between their flexible, customizable FileMaker® Pro-based databases and their iR web applications like online applications and FAM," says Kevin McAllister, President of inRESONANCE.  "But at the same time they want parents to easily access these services from within the school's general website. Our partnerships with the web companies give them this balanced choice."
