 The New York State Education Department (NYSED) hereby issues this “Request for Information” (RFI) to determine system capabilities with respect to the NYSED’s Electronic Student Record Exchange System needs.

  2. Facilitate understanding of the available tools, strategies, and practices;
  3. Solicit information on successful approaches and best practices;
  4. Highlight key approaches likely to deliver early ROI in New York;
  5. Ascertain key requirements and issues the State must define and/or consider when developing an approach;
  6. Determine the benefits the State can realistically expect to achieve in both the short- and long-term; and,
  7. Increase understanding of the compensation mechanisms used by companies that offer such services.
This RFI is exploratory in nature. It is being conducted to solicit information about industry best practices, ideas, tools, and recommendations from interested parties regarding the electronic exchange of student records.
