USE CASE 01

Campus data integration services

Unifying academic and event management systems

Universities often manage academic scheduling and campus events across separate systems, leading to double bookings, redundant data entry and time-consuming coordination. These inefficiencies affect both internal processes and student experiences. University data integration services from Unisys addressed these challenges with seamless bi-directional system integration using the Boomi integration platform.

Connecting admission data and student information systems

Streamlining student admissions with automated CRM & SIS connectivity

California Polytechnic State University, San Luis Obispo (Cal Poly), is committed to improving the student experience. Cal Poly recognized an opportunity to better showcase its reputation for technological advancement through a modernized application system. To provide a real-time, multi-modal application experience for applicants, Cal Poly deployed the Slate customer relationship management (CRM) platform.

The next step focused on integrating the CRM and PeopleSoft SIS to create an end-to-end seamless experience for applicants, enhancing data flow and streamlining workflow management throughout the admissions process.

Unisys designed and built application programming interfaces (APIs) between the CRM and SIS systems, enabling real-time updates to the admissions checklist, financial aid information and transcript processing.

Connecting student systems for exceptional educational experiences

Professional & Continuing Education at CSU’s Chico State University provides online degrees, professional development, career training and lifelong learning opportunities. The university wanted to increase enrollment by actively working to enhance digital experiences while managing limited resources.

The university wanted to simplify its registration processes and create more responsive data flows to improve the experience for prospective students. Chico State created a self-service registration process in the Salesforce Education Cloud CRM. Using Unisys Boomi services and leveraging the Boomi DataHub and integration platform, the university automated data flows between the CRM and SIS to deliver a seamless real-time registration experience. This integration streamlined processes while consistently synchronizing course catalogs, student profiles and faculty information across systems.
