openSIS is a free (SIS) that rivals costly commercial alternatives in looks, functionality and 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 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.

It is designed to meet the needs of advocacy, non-profit and non-governmental groups. The license for the current version is the GNU GPL verion 2.

openSIS may be deployed either standalone or alongside Drupal and Moodle learning management systems. The standalone version is intended to work alongside other CMSs.

openSIS is listed as one of the top 50 Open Source Apps Transforming Education for administration![2]
