# LMS data integration A Learning Management System (SIS) is an essential, enterprise system in the educational technology landscape. It is the system of record for a broad range of instructional data and critical for almost any data-informed or data-driven research, learning analytics, or student success initiative. An LMS data integration is a required part of any UDP implementation. LMS data integrations to the UDP are **fully-managed integrations**. Academic institutions do *not* need to write a UDP integration based on the [LMS Loading schema](https://docs.udp.unizin.org/context-data/html/lms-2.0.html). Academic institutions will, however, need to configure their UDP instance (in a self-hosted scenario) to integrate an LMS context dataset from a supported LMS. They may also need to configure their LMS to send Caliper conformant data to the [UDP Caliper endpoint](/products/data-and-analytics/unizin-data-platform/system-overview/event-data-pipeline/udp-caliper-endpoint.md).
