Happy Holidays from Kuali Student and a Reading Recommendation

Happy Holidays from Kuali Student. As a gift ( or sorts), we have a reading recommendation. The Tambellini Group has published a new research report: “Student Information Systems U.S. Higher Education Market Share, Insights and Trends: 2004-2008.”

Available via eduWorld1 Daily News and Insights, the report looks at Student Information Systems (SIS) purchases made by U.S. higher education institutions over a 5-year period.

“According to Tambellini, SIS systems are expensive and she believes that universities will be looking to maintain their current systems in the coming years, adding applications that work with and enhance what they already have,” the accompanying press release states.
