If technology has dominated the health and medical fields, economy and commercial fields then it has also made a place in the educational fields as well. Technology has not stopped after changing or modifying the teaching techniques but it has also provided IT solutions to the institutions in the upkeep of the administrative and management affairs. Schools and other educational institutions are investing on such technologies which would prove beneficial in the long run and help in the effective and efficient management of the schools. The IT solution has provided with software applications which will manage the student data base as well as perform other internal functions. This system is similar to the Management Information Systems commonly referred to as MIS’s which big corporate houses follow to maintain their employee database as well as track the day to day performances of the company or organization. In case of educational institutions, the MIS is known as Student Information System which is capable of storing details of students, enables teachers to assign examinations and dates, checking, publish assessment scores, mark attendances and many other student related data. The motive of using this system is to simplify the school work and give high exposure to computer using to the students from the grass root levels. This software is widely accepted amongst the reputed educational institutions all over the globe – primary and secondary schools and colleges, medical schools, business and management schools. It is very difficult to single out a specific company that provides similar application but the trend is slowly pointing towards OpenSIS (http://www.opensis.com/ ) which provides student portal that is accessible to students, teachers, parents, administration and the management.
