Introduction
School Data Sync (SDS) is a free, secure, enterprise-grade service in Microsoft 365 for Education. SDS reads school and roster data from the Student Information System (SIS) and automates manual administrative tasks involved in managing Microsoft 365 and Teams configurations. Schools that use SDS report healthier tenants and higher Microsoft Teams use as educators can focus on teaching and supporting learners rather than Teams and app configurations.
