Custom Data Services: Data Export to SIS & 3rd Party Systems – Finalsite Enrollment

Custom Data Services builds tailored exports from Finalsite Enrollment into your SIS, fundraising system, or other third-party system. The Finalsite Enrollment team handles project setup, data mapping, value transformation (like converting form ethnicity text into SIS-specific codes for state reporting), and ID sync between systems. Standard SLA is 6 to 8 weeks from final requirements.

💡Quick Answers

Which systems can Finalsite Enrollment build exports for? Common ones include Blackbaud Education Edge, Raiser's Edge, and SKY, Veracross, Senior Systems, Rediker, PCR, Inresonance, Alma, Schoolmaster, Skyward, Magnus, Infinite Campus, FileMaker Pro, Aeries, and FACTS SIS.
What if my system isn't in that list? Custom exports can be built for any system that accepts CSV imports. Contact Support to scope the project.
What's the typical project SLA? 6 to 8 weeks from receipt of final requirements. Plan accordingly if you need the export ready before a specific date.
What does Finalsite Enrollment do versus what does my school do? Finalsite handles project management, data mapping and transformation, the export build, and ID sync. Your school completes the data dictionary (with value lists and required formats), validates the exported data before importing into your SIS, and runs the final import into the SIS itself.
Why does data sometimes need to be transformed? Third-party systems often expect specific codes or formats. For example, ethnicity collected on an enrollment form as readable text needs to be transformed into the SIS-specific code used for state reporting. The Custom Data Services team handles those mappings.
