Rick reviewed the work done regarding an action item from the previous GAT meeting to determine what options are available for establishing a vendor rating system. The report can be found here.
The eventual desired result is a process that encourages and rewards vendors (most notably SIS vendors but not exclusively) to continuously improve their Ed-Fi integration work. This might include measurable types of performance metrics such as how well their products move data through the Ed-Fi API, the degree to which errors are minimized and how well the vendors interact with the LEAs to resolve issues and provide training. It does not include measures such as satisfaction with the degree to which vendors are willing to customize their integrations to a particular LEAs specific needs or how friendly or accommodating the vendor representatives might be.

- Troy and Ed-Fi team to discuss the path forward for the vendor rating system recommendation
