Data Usage by PureData
Stage 1: Data Fetching Process for PowerSchool
Data is fetched from PowerSchool using the PureData PowerSchool API Plugin.
Stage 2: Loading the Data to Middleware
After fetching, the data is transformed and loaded into a middleware. Our infrastructure is built on Amazon Web Services (AWS) and utilizes AWS Private Cloud Network, EC2 instances, and other highly secured services.
Stage 3: Middleware to Google Workspace or Microsoft Azure AD (Entra ID)
The final stage involves using the stored data to create or manage accounts in Google Workspace or Microsoft Azure AD.
