Integrations Documentation

Updated April 16th 2013

This package contains information describing IMS XML integration with Fronter.

Please note many MIS/SAS produce output as required by Fronter out of the box, so to determine whether this documentation is relevant for you, please liaise with your local Fronter representatives.

This documentation is written for a technical audience familiar with the MIS/SAS used at your institution.

IMPORTANT NOTE: Fronter uses an international widely acknowledged standard for integrating MIS data - refer to IMS Global best practice if you are unfamiliar with this standard.
