1.7 Methods of Implementation
NASIS is to be a web based student information system that will be phased into use throughout the BIA
education system. For schools that are currently using an electronic student system for school
management of data there will be a transition from the current system to the NASIS system which will
include importing data from the legacy system. For schools keeping paper and pencil records there will be
manual input needed for basis carry-over information.
The phase-in will require training at each level on those functions to be used by the various users at each
organizational level. Adequate training is crucial to deployment of the system. For each school using an
existing program there will be a plan for the transition that must be designed to least impact the
instructional support for the school.
While the system acquired will be an “Off the Shelf” product there will be a need for a test environment
to ensure that all required factors are functional. The contractor must make needed modifications to fulfill
established BIA needs and use of these modifications must be validated in a test environment. Prior to
deployment there will be an in-depth review by subject matter experts to define and customize the product
for BIA use.
