With the Student Information System Data Integration Module (SIS-DIM), Districts gain secure instant access to their existing SIS data including SASI and PowerSchool

KANSAS CITY, MO (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) -- Lumen Software (www.lumensoftware.com), a World leader in Web / Browser based Portal Products and Solutions, announced today it has extended its already popular role-based Lumenation Portal environment to include ready-to-use modules and applications against a district's existing Student Information System (SIS). This, in addition to several new module releases, allows districts to provide managed and appropriate information to administrators, board members, staff, faculty, students and parents / patrons.

"By combining the 'out-of-the-box' Lumenation Portal, which can be immediately deployed without any development, and the new SIS-DIM, districts are able to benefit from the value of direct on-demand access to SIS data," commented Don Keeler, CTO of Lumen Software. "With the ability to easily define user access, districts can securely provide access to multiple modules, including: student grades (multiple students one area), attendance, homework, cumulative GPA/Class rank, district student enrollment, and district directory manager."

In addition to the SIS-DIM modules released today, Lumen Software offers 24 educational modules within the Lumenation Portal. In keeping with the need to access or "mine" data, the Data Warehouse and Dashboard modules provide valuable reporting features, including ready-to-use reports, dashboard panels, interactive data manipulation, and much more - all based upon the user's role.

Ted Lymer II, CMO of Lumen Software pointed out, "We have listened to our customer base nationwide and have responded to their requests with these powerful tools that districts need to immediately and very cost effectively meet the accountability and reporting requirements set forth through NCLB, State, District, and Board Mandates."

Lumen Software is introducing the Lumenation Portal and SIS-DIM along with special introductory bundled pricing through February 2006. "We wanted to get the word out and offer this very valuable asset to districts across the country," announced Theodore Gordon Jr., CEO Lumen Software from the Kansas City Corporate Office. "It is paramount vendors such as ourselves support the educational community with technology that empowers them to meet requirements which have been legislated on a Federal and State basis and to enhance the overall communication and educational experience in our schools today."
