HERMESA SMS tool to make sense of SDR files+ Produced by Meta Office, who have exclusively produced student management systems for the New Zealand market since 1998 ++ Test the integrity of your SDR files ++ Produce key reports: EFTS consumption, education performance indicator rates, and student participation + |
Your student management system produces Single Data Return (SDR) files every four months. You submit them to the Ministry of Education. The Ministry passes on data to the Tertiary Education Commission (TEC). TEC uses the data to monitor your performance which affects your funding.
SDR files aren’t that easy to read.

What Hermes Does
Hermes makes sense of SDR files. Hermes allows you to:
Because Hermes is using the same data as that which is reported to TEC and the reports are based on the TEC specifications, you can be assured that the reports are accurate.
Using the same data as TEC
Most of TEC's education performance indictor reports use data from multiple years. For a given return year – say 2011 – TEC is using data from your 2010 December SDR files, your December 2011 SDR files, and your April 2012 SDR files. TEC may even use data from earlier SDR files. There is a problem with this arrangement though because, for example, that you may have changed enrolment data between one SDR round and another. The effect of this can be that EPI reports produced by your student management system are using a slightly different set of data from TEC.
The problem is addressed by Hermes because it sources data from the SDR files and not from your student management system. The key thing to remember, then, is that with Hermes you must use the SDR files successfully submitted to TEC.
