In this vlog post, I talk about the three approaches to creating unified data systems in schools: Buy, Build, or Borrow. Schools need ecosystems of data where the data moves seamlessly between each system and thereby each department. Schools can create this in one of three ways: Buy, Build, or Borrow. Buy a complete system, Build one from scratch, or Borrow several “best of breed” systems and put them together.
