| | March - 20196EditorialDriven by the need to cultivate capacity for institutional innovation, improve student services, and garner efficiencies with IT solution administration, higher education's next decade will be marked by a significant investment in student information systems (SIS). Consequently, a meaningful discussion has emerged about how institutions can make the most return from SIS investments, including modernize existing SIS solutions. At the helm of these conversations, AI and other related technologies have emerged as the defining elements of the present SIS landscape--radically transforming how colleges and universities deliver education services.The uptake of AI technologies within the SIS aims to ease an exceptionally resource-intensive endeavor of establishing a well-connected link between students, teachers, parents, and school administration. Another key reason AI is disrupting SIS market is because of its capability to generate data-driven reports on student progress. The school administrative bodies can leverage the AI-driven software to create reports on everything: from how many students have non-immigrant statuses to what the average GPA in a given class is.Alongside, a majority of SIS software today is cloud-based, which is a better option than on-premise legacy systems for a variety of reasons. Cloud-based systems provide easier setup, universal access, immediate technical support, improved data security, and an increased ability to adapt to changes in the marketplace and update the product with minimal hassle.At the helm of these modernizations, arriving at the most suitable SIS solution provider requires technology companies to remain updated about the latest trends, tools and techniques in the arena. In such a scenario, to help organization find the SIS solution, our editorial board has evaluated the top vendors in this realm.
