Objectives
SIF isn’t (just) for geeks!
Besides, the term geek originally referred to a carnival performer often billed as a wild man whose act usually included biting the head off a live chicken, bat, snake or bugs!
![Page 6: Michael Pickett – Norfolk County Council Manager – Digital Infrastructure](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070406/56814290550346895daebd50/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Objectives
SIF can help you to achieve the following objectives...
![Page 7: Michael Pickett – Norfolk County Council Manager – Digital Infrastructure](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070406/56814290550346895daebd50/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Information is updated once and reused many times
Objectives
Save time
![Page 8: Michael Pickett – Norfolk County Council Manager – Digital Infrastructure](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070406/56814290550346895daebd50/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
For example: Your MIS is updated with new students & groups and your learning platform is automatically and seamlessly updated too.
Objectives
Save time
![Page 9: Michael Pickett – Norfolk County Council Manager – Digital Infrastructure](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070406/56814290550346895daebd50/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Information is updated once and reused many times
Objectives
Reduce error
![Page 10: Michael Pickett – Norfolk County Council Manager – Digital Infrastructure](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070406/56814290550346895daebd50/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Objectives
Reduce error
For example: Your MIS is the data source and any errors can be fixed here once with all of the subscribing systems reflecting the fix automatically.
![Page 11: Michael Pickett – Norfolk County Council Manager – Digital Infrastructure](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070406/56814290550346895daebd50/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Information entered into the prime system can be automatically shared with subscribing systems in a fast and controlled manner.
Objectives
Near-time information
![Page 12: Michael Pickett – Norfolk County Council Manager – Digital Infrastructure](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070406/56814290550346895daebd50/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Objectives
Near-time information
For example: Attendance relating to students attending more than 1 learning place can be recorded in multiple systems and automatically shared back to the home school e.g. 14 – 19
![Page 13: Michael Pickett – Norfolk County Council Manager – Digital Infrastructure](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070406/56814290550346895daebd50/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
As well as its built-in technical security such as encryption, SIF can replace less reliable methods for moving data around.
Objectives
Secure
![Page 14: Michael Pickett – Norfolk County Council Manager – Digital Infrastructure](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070406/56814290550346895daebd50/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Objectives
Secure
For example: How safe and reliable is moving data around using CDs / DVDs, memory sticks, email, paper, post, etc...?
![Page 15: Michael Pickett – Norfolk County Council Manager – Digital Infrastructure](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070406/56814290550346895daebd50/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Sharing data between multiple systems securely and efficiently is increasingly important; MIS, learning platforms, email services, LA systems...
Objectives
Pluggable
![Page 16: Michael Pickett – Norfolk County Council Manager – Digital Infrastructure](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070406/56814290550346895daebd50/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
...to enable collaboration, 14 – 19, parental reporting, security, efficiencies, etc.
Objectives
Pluggable
![Page 17: Michael Pickett – Norfolk County Council Manager – Digital Infrastructure](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070406/56814290550346895daebd50/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Implementing bespoke solutions for integration can be expensive and difficult to support. Replacing systems often results in additional bespoke integrations.
Objectives
Pluggable
![Page 18: Michael Pickett – Norfolk County Council Manager – Digital Infrastructure](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070406/56814290550346895daebd50/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Objectives
Pluggable
For example: SIF is an established International open standard. It is not uncommon to have many systems integrated with your school MIS...
![Page 19: Michael Pickett – Norfolk County Council Manager – Digital Infrastructure](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070406/56814290550346895daebd50/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Objectives
Pluggable
...Replacing one SIF certified MIS with another will greatly reduce the cost and time needed to reintegrate all of your reliant systems!
![Page 20: Michael Pickett – Norfolk County Council Manager – Digital Infrastructure](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070406/56814290550346895daebd50/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Objectives
Helping us to realise Single Sign on (SSo)
Since 2001 we have been managing an estate-wide Identity Management (IdM) service providing unique identities for 150,000 across all of our learning establishments.
![Page 21: Michael Pickett – Norfolk County Council Manager – Digital Infrastructure](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070406/56814290550346895daebd50/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Objectives
2001 - 2002
Create & manage unique accounts for 150,000school Staff & students.2.5 FTE
2003 - 2007
Semi-automated Identity Management (IdM)system including some data cleansing. Identities are used in other systems such as the learning platform. 1.5 FTE
Simplified Sign on recommended
![Page 22: Michael Pickett – Norfolk County Council Manager – Digital Infrastructure](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070406/56814290550346895daebd50/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Objectives

Results
• Proof of Concept (PoC) focused upon the needs of five rural primary schools
• All used the same MIS and learning platform.
• The applications selected were: – • Edustructures’ SIFWorks ZIS Enterprise Edition,• Netmedia’s Learning Platform,• Pearson e1 MIS• And an in-house Identity Management (IdM) system (SQL DB)
![Page 24: Michael Pickett – Norfolk County Council Manager – Digital Infrastructure](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070406/56814290550346895daebd50/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Results
• SIF automated data sharing between the systems and resources
• As the information was updated in the MIS, the learning platform and IdM were seamlessly updated
• This ensured that all students and staff were in the correct groups and linked to their unique Identity wherever they were and whatever systems or resources they were using
![Page 25: Michael Pickett – Norfolk County Council Manager – Digital Infrastructure](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070406/56814290550346895daebd50/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Results
• The PoC ran for three months
• Over 15 use cases were successfully tested including dual registration and the end of year rollover
• Information was up to date and accurate in all participating systems and resources
• Efficiency savings were realised at schools and the Local Authority
![Page 26: Michael Pickett – Norfolk County Council Manager – Digital Infrastructure](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070406/56814290550346895daebd50/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Results
• Students and staff had access to relevant valuable resources in a timely fashion
• Identity information including login details were up to date and accurate in all systems and resources
• A ‘pluggable’ core infrastructure is established
![Page 27: Michael Pickett – Norfolk County Council Manager – Digital Infrastructure](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070406/56814290550346895daebd50/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
The next steps...
• Core infrastructure is moved into BT Virtual Data Centre (VDC)
• Attendance management for 14 to 19 Diploma students (see the 14 to 19 Demonstrator presentation after lunch!)
• SIF rollout to all primary schools to include the MIS, learning platform, IdM (and possibly Google Apps)
• SIF pilots for secondary schools to include the Fronter learning platform, SIMS and Serco MIS’ and IdM
• Shibboleth Single Sign on across all participating services
