What is Certify?
Certify™ is Certica's hosted data validation service, which provides districts with an easy, cost-effective method for automatically validating and monitoring data on a daily basis. Certify ensures that student, school and district data are complete, accurate and up-to-date, by providing an easy and streamlined process.
Using Certify, district and school staff – such as registrars, attendance clerks and administrative staff – are alerted each day of specific data "rules" which are in error, so staff can take action to research, reconcile or correct data in their student information system. District staff can monitor data across groups of schools – whether for a specific program (such as English Language Learning), for a particular compliance area (such as Discipline), or across the entire district.
Certify can help your district:
- Ensure that district administrators make informed decisions and have a greater degree of confidence in data;
- Automate and streamline the process of data monitoring, validation and correction, which saves time and minimizes the resources necessary to achieve and maintain high quality data;
- Enable school and district staff to take a more pro-active role in managing data, reducing the impact on information technology resources;
- Maximize state and federal funding – and reduce the chance of penalties and audits – by reporting accurate and complete data in a timely manner; and
- Institutionalize a proactive process that helps maintain data quality on a continuous basis.
