 
DataDirector is a web-based, cross-platform application
(Windows and Macintosh) and supports most modern browsers. DataDirector will function
with all network speeds - including dial-up. Of course, as with any web-based application,
the faster the connection to the Internet, the faster the response time.
DataDirector is typically a hosted solution and in the interests of cost, security
and convenience most districts opt for hosted deployment. Larger districts may opt
to host DataDirector on their own server(s) behind a district firewall – maintaining
the needed system infrastructure and technical personnel on their own.
DataDirector is fully compatible with data from SASI, Aeries, PowerSchools and all
other Student Information Systems.

DataDirector has no specific hardware requirements and works well with standard
configurations recommended by the manufacturer.
DataDirector is deployed as a hosted solution that is completely Web-based and leverages
open source technology (PHP and MySQL) to avoid expensive licensing costs. Data
hosted by Houghton Mifflin Harcourt is extremely secure, and is maintained on redundant
servers using Secure Socket Layer (SSL) encryption for all pages.
