Too many tools. Not enough integration.
The average school uses 40+ digital tools. Most don't talk to each other. That's a lot of manual data entry and duplicated effort.
The spreadsheet shuffle
In conversations with ISSL school staff, we hear the same frustrations. Export this report from the SIS. Import it into the fundraising system. Manually update the website. Re-enter the same data in three different places. Nobody has time for this.
The problem gets worse every year. New tools get added to solve specific problems. But they don't integrate with what you already have. Now you've got five systems that each have slightly different versions of the same information.
Beyond wasted time, there's data quality risk. When the same information lives in multiple places, it inevitably gets out of sync. Which version is correct? Often nobody knows.

How we help
Technology inventory
We document every tool you're using, who uses it, and what it costs. Often schools find they're paying for tools nobody remembers buying.
Redundancy identification
We find the overlaps - tools that do the same thing, features you're paying for twice, capabilities you have but aren't using.
Integration opportunities
What can be connected? What manual processes can be automated? We identify quick wins and longer-term integration projects.
Vendor consolidation roadmap
A practical plan for reducing vendor count over time. What to keep, what to replace, what to eliminate - with realistic timelines.
Implementation support
We can help guide migrations and integrations, or recommend partners who specialize in specific platforms.
Pricing
$3,000-7,000
for technology audit and consolidation roadmap
Ongoing systems support and integration projects can be included in retainer engagements. Implementation work is scoped and priced separately.
