Technology Integrations with Renaissance Place Real Time

School districts often have many questions about setting up and maintaining their Renaissance Place Real Time software. Renaissance Learning has tried to be as flexible as possible in accommodating the needs of those districts. Below is a list of ways you can import and export data, as well as communicate with other third-party vendors.

Import Solutions

RDT - Desktop/Foundation Data Transfer - Included
The Renaissance Data Translator (RDT) allows you to import your historical desktop software into Renaissance Place Real Time including students, courses, classes, and test scores. Just send your previous data folder to us and we'll complete this for you. This is an import per school and is included with Renaissance Place Real Time.

Flat File Import - Included
This method allows you to perform a file import at the start of the school year from your Student Information System (SIS) data into Renaissance Place. It needs to be in a specific format with column headings. It will handle inserts only of students, courses, classes, enrollments, usernames and passwords. It will not update or delete records.

Data Merges - Included
Many districts have schools that are utilizing their own school level Renaissance Place Real Time site prior to a complete district level implementation. We will work with the district and school to schedule and complete merging this data into a consolidated district level site so that all schools are combined. This is included at no additional cost when purchasing Renaissance Place Real Time.

Automated Data Integration Services
We offer two distinct types of automated data integrations to assist districts that want a hands off solution for maintaining student and teacher enrollments in their Renaissance Place Real Time site. You can purchase either of the automated integration services below or change from year to year at no additional cost. This also covers proactive support of the scheduled run as well as changing your SIS at no additional fees. Renaissance Place Data Integration Brochure

Custom Solutions

SSO - Single Sign On
Renaissance Learning can utilize the services of a Single Sign On with the support of your district to alleviate the need of remembering multiple usernames and passwords for given users. The SSO can work with Active Directory, Portals, Open Directory, Sharepoint, and other platforms as you see fit. Year one includes time for Setup, QA and Consulting on shared code streams.

Custom Reports
Renaissance Learning can generate custom specific reports if there is a need to look at data in a level the software currently does not support. We build it to your needs going through the process of Analysis, Design and Implementation to meet the specifications you desire. All custom reports can be extracted to csv, excel, pdf, and other types as well. Contact your Sales Rep for pricing.

Onsite Data Consulting
Consultants can train your staff on the integration process, go over review sites of the integration plan, and answer and resolve technical related concerns. Programmers are also available for specified integration needs such as SSO or other projects you may have a need for. Contact your Sales Rep for pricing.
