PRESS RELEASE: Jenzabar debuts major Jenzabar SONIS 3.0 update

Jenzabar SONIS 3.0 debuts all-new UX, strengthened security, and substantial student-centric enhancements.

Boston, MA – November 19, 2015 – Jenzabar, Inc., a leading provider of software and services for higher education, today announced the general availability of Jenzabar SONIS 3.0, a 100% web-based student information system (SIS) for the modern digital age. Higher education consumers want to interact with their institutions from any device and from anywhere. Jenzabar SONIS 3.0’s new user interface and enhanced capabilities provide students, faculty, advisors, and alumni with a new, completely mobile experience. Jenzabar SONIS 3.0 gives learners more ways to proactively manage their educational journey, and strengthens security for the enterprise.

“Jenzabar SONIS 3.0 builds on our mission to help students and educators seamlessly go about the business of higher education no matter where information resides or what device they’re using,” said Sam Burgio, Jenzabar Vice President and General Manager. “This next-generation release continues Jenzabar’s investment in this important student-centric SIS.”

Jenzabar SONIS 3.0 is a major product release impacting all outward-facing functions, across all user web portals. It includes a brand new look and feel that automatically optimizes for every device and every screen size. This software release adds 28 new features and over 60 enhancements to the already robust functionality of Jenzabar SONIS, including: data backup security enhancements, simplified user log-ins, and an upgraded bulk registration function.

“We’ve made significant investments in user experience design and updated to an entirely new responsive HTML interface,” said Daniel Huggins, Jenzabar SONIS Software Development Manager. “It not only looks great on all browsers but it also gives students an easier way to do everything—like register for a course, pay a bill, or conduct a degree audit—no matter what device they want to use.”

“To enhance security, we added a Master Key Unlock that prevents unauthorized database backups,” continued Huggins. “Jenzabar SONIS 3.0 is a new-generation SIS, engineered to help our client institutions keep operations running smoothly and delight modern students who are looking for more effective self-service.”
