Oakland Community College
Empowering OCC’s IT Team with Outsourced Integration Services for Ellucian Colleague SaaS
Going to the Cloud
OCC’s Integration Journey — When Oakland Community College (OCC) embarked on their journey to Colleague SaaS, they were looking for a partner who could handle the complexities of their SIS integration API layer for Colleague—Ethos. They were also looking for help with system integrations outside of the Ellucian ecosystem.
Acting as an extension of OCC’s IT team, Lingk’s professional services help OCC streamline their data processes, modernize their integrations, and achieve a unified data ecosystem.
The Challenge
OCC’s IT team was challenged to create strong integration solutions while handling pressing initiatives and daily operations— hindering large-scale data integration projects. They needed a partner to manage these integrations and offer expert advice on improving and streamlining their use of Ellucian Ethos, a complex API system.
“Having Lingk as our strategic partner has made all the difference in our Colleague SaaS journey. Their managed integration services and iPaaS are providing the critical support we need.”
