Since our inception Sigma has believed in the best-of-breed software model. As a best-of-breed vendor, we recognize the importance of tight integration with other related systems to achieve the best end result. We have invested a great deal of our focus in the last decade to enhancing our open architecture to support diverse and robust integration models that support both batch and seamless real-time modes as appropriate. Sigma is accustomed to supporting many techniques and technologies to integrate our financial services software with a wide variety of student systems, accounting systems, and other third party systems related to financial aid and student account processing, both vendor developed and homegrown.
