Century Consultants A Successful
Voluntary Vendor for PIMS and PAsecure ID

Lakewood, NJ - March 20, 2008 - Century Consultants’ Star_Base School Suite® has successfully completed the compliance testing for the Pennsylvania Information Management System (PIMS)

PIMS, Pennsylvania Information Management System, is a new initiative from the Pennsylvania Department of Education aimed at unifying the manner in which school districts submit reports. This streamlined function will provide administrators with longitudinal data, enabling them to make data driven decisions for their districts

Century Consultants has successfully completed the two phase testing process required on the PIMS system and is one of only a few compliant vendors for the State of Pennsylvania.

In the first phase of PIMS, PAsecureID, the state-wide student ID program, unique ID’s were assigned to all 1.8 million PreK-12 public school students in Pennsylvania. In order to accommodate this project, Star_Base School Suite® was customized, ensuring accurate state reports, without duplicate information, expediting funding to the districts. Additionally, the state-required ability to track students from district to district for further analysis was also met.

During Phase Two, Century created template files to be tested in the Pennsylvania Department of Education environment to confirm the vendor’s ability to generate four template files; Student, Student Snapshot, Programs Fact and School Enrollment as will be required of each district to do. By successfully completing this project Century continues to maintain its role as an industry leader.
