How much interaction is there between client districts and DecisionInsite during the enrollment forecasting process?
DecisionInsite analysts communicate with clients throughout the process. The first step is to build the conservative district-wide forecast. This is posted to the web site and the client is invited to review the numbers. If there is something that raises a question for the client, they will discuss this with the analyst. The goal is to understand the concern and properly account for it and/or make adjustments in light of the new information. After the client is comfortable with the conservative district-wide forecast, the conservative school-by-grade forecasts are generated. Again, there is a communication exchange. When the client is satisfied with the full conservative forecast, then DecisionInsite generates the moderate forecast. Having the client data accessible via the web facilitates easy interaction.
