SIMS (School Information Management System〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=Our software for education )〕) is a student information system, i.e. a school management information system, currently developed by Capita. It is the most widely used MIS in UK schools, claiming over 80% market share across the primary and secondary sectors. ==Overview== SIMS uses a client-server architecture; the back-end service is based around Microsoft SQL Server with some business logic handled by a custom .NET Framework module. The client application is also built with .NET, and handles almost all of the data manipulation and reporting workload. Some legacy components (notably Nova-T6,〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=Nova-T6 Housekeeping )〕 the timetabling package included with SIMS) are Windows API applications and store data in flat binary files. SIMS is a modular application, the core offering covering storing basic school data with modules available to handle (among other things) legal registration, the recording of achievements and sanctions and the management and documentation of public examinations.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=Modules for Primary schools and academies )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=Modules for Secondary schools and academies )〕 Capita also offer modules aimed at specific sectors, such as a fee billing system for private schools.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=SIMS Fees Billing )〕 Third-party developers can build products that integrate with SIMS through Capita's "Partner Program".〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=Become a Capita Partner )〕 Schools that already own a SIMS license can get free or reduced-price access to the SIMS API, but private companies must pay a non-trivial yearly fee to gain and then retain the ability to interface with SIMS. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア(Wikipedia)』 ■ウィキペディアで「School Information Management System」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
