School data is often spread across multiple different systems. It can be challenging to develop integrations to all of the necessary providers, and even more challenging to have functionality split up between different systems.
Data enrichment is the process of combining data and functionality from multiple sources to create a single, unified integration. Data enrichment can help schools to improve the quality of their data, and to get the functionality they're looking for out of their systems.
Common Data Enrichment Use Cases
Data enrichment can be used in a variety of ways to help schools get the most out of their data. Here are a few common use cases:
- Form a more complete view of the school dataset for higher quality integrations and better reporting.
- Join together two partially overlapping datasets, such as student data and staff data.
- Combine functionality from different providers, such as SSO and rostering, to create a single source of truth.
- Send assignments and grades back to multiple data providers to add additional functionality to integrations.
