This summer, America’s Promise Alliance hosted a webinar in partnership with nFocus Solutions that explored how data management systems can support efforts to build systems of comprehensive services to ensure all students are on track to graduate from high school college and become career ready. On December 1 from 3:00pm to 4:00pm ET, America’s Promise and nFocus Solutions will continue the conversation by exploring the challenging process of adopting a comprehensive data management system.

The webinar will draw on community examples to highlight lessons learned in selecting and implementing these systems and discuss their core functions such as data integration and reporting to help communities adopt a system that is both accessible and relevant to their needs.
