Hi, Jane, The Department of Education is planning on spending years on a solution that the U.S. world of business already has in place, software that bridges the gap between different systems, that makes what is only a dream in the world of education a reality in the world of business. Software that makes interoperability happen - that makes non-compatible systems a nightmare of the past. Rather than invest four years, in less than four months the right software can provide longitudinal data from computer systems that are already in place - systems in schools and agencies for children 0-3, students 3-21, and adults 21+. The right software has taken ten years to develop, and it's available right now! Jane, could you advise me as to who the best person is to talk about this? Regards, Phil
