Institutional Technology

Nothing to rip out. Nothing new to maintain.

Civitas reads from Banner, PeopleSoft, Workday, Slate, Canvas, Salesforce, and 100+ other systems, builds one model of the institution, and writes actions back. Keep your advising tools or consolidate onto ours. Lawrence Technological University went live in six weeks.

What a CIO gets

01

No new system of record

Civitas reads from and writes back to your systems, and never replaces the SIS or LMS.

02

Fewer vendors if you want them

Civitas ships the advising CRM, case management, planning, registration, and scheduling, so an advising or early alert contract can be retired instead of renewed.

03

Integrations you do not maintain

We build the connections and keep them running through your vendors' upgrades, as part of the subscription.

04

Live in six weeks

Lawrence Technological University's timeline. It depends on the number of source systems and how quickly their owners can meet.

05

FERPA answered in writing

School official status you designate, a published data sharing agreement, single sign-on, and role-based access.

One record across every system, without a new system of record

Data from the SIS, LMS, CRM, aid, engagement tools, and campus card system becomes one profile leaders and frontline staff can filter and segment. Your systems of record stay where they are, with their authority intact.

Student data unified from multiple source systems

Configure it yourself, without opening a ticket

Self-service tools let your team fit the platform to how the institution works, and product updates arrive without a migration project. The maintenance burden on Institutional Technology goes away.

Platform configuration and alert administration

Add a data source without starting a project

Add a system when a new initiative, strategy, or legislative requirement calls for it. The federal earnings rule is today’s example of a reporting requirement arriving faster than a data warehouse roadmap.

Adding data sources and adapting analytics

Extend the intelligence into the rest of your stack

Cloud-hosted data warehouse capabilities include the underlying Civitas insights, so your team can run research and advanced reporting and feed predictions into your other systems.

The institutional scoreboard

Every office gets a number. This page is one of six.

Enrollment, engagement, persistence, graduation, and career outcomes, each measured against a comparison group. The same data, the same model, one ledger for the cabinet, the board, and the Department of Education.

Your data stays yours

Civitas works under FERPA as a school official you designate, with a published data sharing agreement and platform specifications. Accessibility conformance reports are available on request. Security and privacy → Trust Center →

What partners say
“We consolidated our data into the Civitas Learning platform, using it as our central hub. One of the great benefits is that it integrates into a centralized CRM, where all of our student journeys are represented.”

Frequently asked questions

Questions institutions ask about institutional technology

Short answers, in the words a cabinet uses. For anything not here, ask us directly.

What does implementation require from our IT team?

Access to the source systems and someone who can speak for each. Civitas builds and maintains the integrations; you do not write or support connectors.

How does Civitas handle FERPA?

Civitas is a school official under FERPA, designated by the institution, under a signed data sharing agreement. The agreement and platform specifications are published for review before you buy. Security and privacy →

Do you support single sign-on?

Yes, with role-based access: what a person sees follows the role the institution assigns.

Is there an accessibility conformance report?

Accessibility conformance reports are available on request.

What happens when we upgrade or replace a source system?

The integration is maintained as part of the subscription, and history is preserved — which matters because the models are trained on it.

How many systems can you integrate, and which ones?

More than 100, including Banner, PeopleSoft, Colleague, Workday Student, Canvas, Blackboard, D2L, Moodle, Slate, Salesforce, Element451, CollegeVine, and TargetX, plus your warehouse and engagement tools.

Does this add another system of record, or replace one?

Neither, unless you want it to. Civitas reads from your systems of record, writes actions and results back, and never replaces the SIS or LMS. To retire an advising or early alert tool, consolidate onto the Civitas advising CRM, case management, planning, registration, and scheduling — fewer vendors, not more.
