Microsoft Integration for Higher Education

by Jo Wood

Microsoft integration for higher education is a specialism which we have developed over the years, through working with several higher education institutions.

Our integration expertise and experience is broad in breadth, as we work with a plethora of industries and organisations on a huge variety of Microsoft integration solutions.  Education is a sector in which we have developed a deep understanding and an acute alignment to the sector needs.  We continue to provide Microsoft integration design, solutions and support to several higher education institutions, to meet their unique needs.

From lead to alumni we design, implement and support solutions that work to seamlessly integrate across total enterprise, including all faculties and departments.  This gives key stakeholders the ownership and clarity of powerful data and insights, to better inform collaborative decision making.

  • From lead to alumni,  we help you to integrate and unlock powerful data and insights
  • We hold expertise in student lifecycle, staff lifecycle and student/sponsor finance integration
  • Our team have extensive integration experience in higher education apps
  • Full managed service support, ensures optimal integration health ongoing

 

MIDDLEWARE REMOVES VENDOR LOCK IN

Our middleware designs aim to eliminate vendor lock-in, enabling educational organisations to maintain control over valuable data and integrations.  This is achieved through a custom-built enterprise data model, free from vendor-specific constraints. It enables the construction of a Medallion Tiered Data Lakehouse.  A data design pattern that incrementally improves data structure and quality as it flows through each layer (bronze, silver, gold).

Breaking free from vendor lock-in, you can: integrate diverse data sources and formats into a single unified data lakehouse, support real-time reporting through streaming integration, leverage a flexible and adaptable data architecture, tailored to your specific needs and goals.

  • No vendor lock-in of your data
  • Retain control of your data for analytics and insight
  • Medallion architecture (bronze, silver, gold)
