Why openSIS?
In January 2008, Open Solutions for Education (OS4ED) was born in Atlanta, Georgia, with the initial goal of disrupting the SIS market. OS4ED released its first product, an open-source Student Information System called openSIS, providing schools with low or no budget with operational student management software. For the past 16 years, it has established itself as the most popular open-source SIS in the world, and thousands of schools are using it globally, serving tens of millions of students and parents.
Since early 2020, educational institutions worldwide were forced to embrace web-based education using cloud-hosted software. Responding to this need, we built a brand-new openSIS which is API based, cloud-native, secure, and infinitely scalable. Thanks to the partnership and sponsorship from Microsoft, we released this openSIS2 as a SaaS offering on the Microsoft Azure platform.
