Reducing Costs Through Industry Specifications.
Interoperability among an institution’s systems, its e-learning tools, content and system components, is one of the keys to the successful implementation of an e-learning environment. In general, the purpose of e-learning interoperability standards is to provide standardized data structures and communications protocols for cross-system workflows and e-learning objects. When done correctly, this provides a seamless experience for end users and reduces your overall "Costs of Fragmentation". More often than not, however, e-learning interoperability is a goal that institutions do not achieve. We are the team that academic technologists turn to when they want to make interoperability a reality.
Application Integration
There is no shortage of software in education today. CRM, SIS, ERP, LMS, there are dozens of acronyms. Unfortunately there is a shortage of clarity about how to make these various systems work effectively, together. Our consultants can help integrate your disparate systems into a cohesive, efficient unit. By sharing information effectively across these systems, our consultants are able to improve operational efficiencies within your organization. Gilfus Education Group team members have successfully integrated hundreds of Learning and Content Management Systems with ERP/SIS systems. We know how to bring clarity and continuity of information to your overall operations.
Centralized User Access and Single-Sign On
Would you like to provide your users with easy single sign-on (SSO) access to their most vital applications? No longer a ‘nice to have’, this capability is now considered a requirement of all modern academic environments. Fortunately, achieving true single sign-on requires a series of straightforward technical steps, and business process changes. Our consultants can guide you through the process to delivering SSO using central authentication system (CAS), LDAP, Active Directory, portal services or a combination of methods.
Data Interchange and Data Warehousing
Data integration is the process of moving and combining data across information systems. It typically consists of extracting data from different sources (databases, files, applications, Web Services, emails, etc.), applying transformations (join, lookup, deduplication, calculation, etc.) to this data and sending the resulting data to target systems. Data warehousing system can be invaluable is assisting with the process of making informed, real-time business decisions. Our team knows what it takes to create reliable data warehouses and benefits from business intelligence tools. What problem are you trying to solve? We can help you do it.
Content Compatibility and Conversion
If your operation requires the conversion or migration of courses and course content, our tools and processes can help you make the switch. We can help you move from one version of an LMS or CMS to another, convert courses for import or export between two difference systems and streamline courses content to optimize it for use on mobile devices. Our experienced team of consultants can manage the necessary project and technical details to complete these conversions and also provide guidance for your future technology decisions based on our well established proven practices.
