Introduction to Ed-Fi Technical Suites
Ed-Fi technology is organized into Technical Suites that represent a generation of technology products that share a data model and are designed to work together. Technical Suites enable clarity in communication and support for Ed-Fi technology offerings.
In general, the Alliance manages its roadmap with the goal of providing "N-1" support across Technical Suites and "N-2" support for releases within a suite. However, where support cannot be handled efficiently (e.g., support is overly complex due to underlying technical issues), or where community need is low, the Alliance may make exceptions in order to maximize the value of investments to the overall Ed-Fi community.
The Ed-Fi Alliance encourages the Ed-Fi community to stay current or upgrade to the most recent Technical Suite, as well as the most recent versions of products and tools within a suite. Please consult version release notes for details to ensure compatibility to local requirements.
