UMRA – LDAP Power School Sync With Active Directory

Now most of you out there have heard of the Student Information System SIS called Power School. This is a popular SIS that allows for school districts to manage students and faculty in active directory and other systems. However, one of the biggest drawbacks to these systems is the lack of LDPA connections for automation of data changes, and data creations. This is exactly where UMRA comes into play, since UMRA has the ability to connect to almost any ODBC complaint database, or even data from a CSV or network data, UMRA can take all this data and create the LDAP sync with Power Scholl that you’re looking for. Now, some of you might be asking what are the limitations of UMRA LDAP Power School Sync, the answers is really none. Yes, none. UMRA has the ability to take the SIS Power School SIS and sync it with Active Directory. UMRA can create, modify, or move any active directory object on an automated schedule. The days of spending countless weeks or hours moving students, updating students are over, UMRA can now link to Power School, compare all the current Student Records with those in active directory. Below is a quick overview of one of the many scenarios we automate for our Power School Clients.

End of the year “Round Up” -
This process is sometimes called that, or maybe something else your company might call it. What the “Round Up” is, is the process you have for when all your students move up a grade. In most cases our clients have to move students, update Active Attributes, move home drives, or even move exchange email accounts from one mail serve to the next. As we all know this is a very long process, that can take weeks, however with UMRA LDAP Power School Sync this process is done with ease, and all in the background. UMRA can take the data in Power School, sync it with Active Directory compare it against the Power School Data. If something is different such as Grade, Name, or anything else. UMRA can take that user object, and move them, reapply group memberships, move home drives to mapped servers, reapply security to those folders, all automated.

Now I hope this gives anyone out there a better idea of how flexible UMRA is in creating a UMRA LDAP Power School Sync. As you can see, the limitations are minimal; since UMRA can mimic any work flows you have now, and put those on an automated schedule. If you have any questions feel free to email me.
