Relationship Assures Unprecedented Schools Interoperability Framework® (SIF) Solution Support for Schools, Local and National Education Authorities in The United Kingdom
| SALT LAKE CITY, Utah—January 9, 2007—Edustructures, the leading provider of Schools Interoperability Framework (SIF®) solutions for the pK–12 education market, announced today that it has partnered with Serco Learning Solutions, a division of Serco Group plc (LSE:SRP.L), a leading international service company. As a Certified Solution Provider (CSP) for Edustructures SIF–based solutions, Serco Learning Solutions will act as a sales and support channel for Edustructures' market–leading SIFWorks® integration solutions in the United Kingdom. The two companies are currently working together on the implementation of the United Kingdom's first SIF proof–of–concept project at the Birmingham local authority (LA), based on the SIF Implementation Specification and utilizing the market–leading SIFWorks® Enterprise Zone Integration Server (ZIS) from Edustructures. The POC project includes data integration between systems within the LA and between the LA and the Department for Education and Skills (DfES). | | |
| “The initial successes shown by this groundbreaking proof–of–concept project has resulted in significant demand by both Local Authorities and solution providers in the UK for SIF expertise,” said Peter O'Hagan of Serco Learning Solutions. “Our relationship with Edustructures allows us to effectively respond to this demand with a thorough understanding of—and ability to support and implement—the most advanced SIF solutions, based on SIFWorks.” | | |

| “The potential of SIF in revolutionizing education worldwide is limited only by the ability of vendors and service providers to respond to market demand with SIF–based solutions and services,” said Steve Curtis, CEO of Edustructures. “We're pleased to be working with Serco Learning Solutions to expand the reach of SIF and thus, the success of education agencies throughout the UK.” | | |
