openSIS is a free student information system that rivals costly commercial alternatives in looks, functionality, ease of use and administration. openSIS is the centerpiece of an evolving set of integrated open source education applications that support schools and districts. openSIS is a game changer and a new paradigm in administrative education software. Our founders have always said that if we can produce an open source package that is easy to use, looks great, has the same functionality as commercial alternatives and represents a TCO up to 75% less than comparable solutions, then the decision should be easy.
