With Apple's Claris, digital transformation goes to school

Just as digital transformation accelerated in the enterprise, the implementation and deployment of tech in the education sector has also accelerated, prompting Apple's Claris subsidiary to introduce its own powerful student information system (SIS), which it calls Claris Connect for Apple School Manager. "Schools across the U.S. constantly face challenges around getting the most meaningful information out of the volumes of data gathered and processed each day--- which we are solving with Claris Connect for Apple School Manager," Brad Freitag, CEO at Claris, said in a statement. The product has been designed to help education establishments integrate SIS data with Apple School Manager, through which it can flow across additional tuition, support and learning systems. Claris Connect includes support for SIS systems from Aeries, Follet Aspen, and Skyward. The idea behind this integration is that administrators, teachers, students, and parents can more easily access Apple's education-focused services, apps, and technology.
