Summary
AOSOS leads the industry in Common Measures data collection and reporting.
AOSOS has been designed to meet federal, state and local needs quickly and effectively. It easily adapts to support any number of program types.
By automatically managing both individual program enrollments and distinct Common Measures enrollments, AOSOS already addresses the key challenge in the latest federal reporting guidance. This important feature protects states’ IT investment while reducing transition and training costs.
The AOSOS Common Measures reporting system seamlessly creates all mandated reports, submission files and DRVS files, while retaining full details on each report cell. This provides a highly valuable information repository for validation and analysis.
