TaskStream Launches Next Generation of Data Integration Services

NEW YORK, May 25, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- TaskStream (www.taskstream.com), the leading provider of Web-based software and supporting services for planning and conducting the assessment of learning outcomes, has launched the next generation of its integration services, the TaskStream Data Exchange (TSDE). The launch greatly expands upon its existing data integration solutions, providing institutions enhanced capabilities to share data between other campus-wide information systems, such as Banner, PeopleSoft, or DataTel, and TaskStream.

TSDE comprises a robust feature set for automating data sharing that enables institutions to more readily evaluate and demonstrate program effectiveness. In particular, this latest release further streamlines the management of course-level assessments, as well as information about field placements, clinical experiences and internships.

"As outcomes assessment becomes more pervasive campus-wide, we understand that there is great power in being able to easily establish a connection between other enterprise systems and our assessment management platforms," said Maaike Bouwmeester, TaskStream's Vice President of Product Development. "The TSDE utilizes sophisticated data exchange technologies to significantly simplify setup, account creation, and reporting in support of more efficient assessment at all levels."

The launch of TSDE's enhanced services builds upon the already powerful suite of tools developed by TaskStream's Integration Services and Mobile Platforms team.  Implementation of these advanced data sharing capabilities has proven to enrich institutions' use of TaskStream.  The group continues to develop forward-thinking data integration and mobile technologies to serve the evolving needs of institutions' departmental, programmatic, and campus-wide assessment efforts.
