Learn how a consultant can help and get quick answers about our PowerSchool training and support.

Seven Ways a Consultant Can Help You

Consultants can support decision-making, improve data quality, and help your district maximize PowerSchool.

  1. Expertise

    To obtain specific expertise, which a district may not have in-house.

  2. Troubleshooting From a New Perspective

    To identify problems. Consultants can often identify the problem more efficiently as they are less emotionally involved and can approach the situation objectively.

  3. Money-Saving Advantages

    To supplement a district’s internal staff. At times, using a consultant makes more financial sense than hiring, especially for projects where the need has a definite timeframe.

  4. Implement and Facilitate Change

    To act as a catalyst for change. Consultants are often brought in to make improvements and to facilitate the process. In addition, their recommendations are often given more weight, as they provide an outside opinion.

  5. Objectivity

    To be an objective onlooker. Often a consultant is brought in to help the district deal with any number of issues. Consultants can assist in staying focused on objectives and help bring about closure.

  6. Training Opportunities

    To teach. Consultants can help teach in-house staff to identify and resolve similar problems in the future.

  7. New Ideas

    To bring new ideas. A consultant can bring a new perspective and ideas that can create a broader, more efficient environment.

FAQ

We have a new data manager. Now what?

Many districts face changes in data management due to retirements and the transitional nature of school employment. At SIS WORKS Solutions, we understand the need to maintain continuity in student data management. With experts in student information systems and state reporting, we facilitate smooth transitions for new data manager candidates.

We provide SIS training and emphasize the importance of compliance with state reporting, helping new data managers learn the ins and outs of the system while giving them a safe environment to explore. SIS WORKS provides training, compliance reviews, and explains not only the how-to of the data but the why as well.
