For colleges and universities across the U.S., the ability to share and access data among various campus systems has long played an essential role in achieving key goals. In our current environment, interoperability has become more crucial than ever.

During the initial months of the pandemic, it became clear that systems that could automatically communicate with each other drastically simplified this work and provided the agility needed for continually shifting circumstances.
