InterCloud

Education & Research

Students, staff and partners served
with the teams an institution already has

Universities, schools and research institutes serve students, parents, faculty, staff, alumni and partners, each of whom expects a modern digital experience, while budgets and IT teams remain limited. InterCloud builds the administrative platforms, websites and portals that allow institutions to serve these audiences with the teams they have.

Challenges

Challenges in Education

  • Many audiences, many systems

    Student information, learning management, HR, finance, library and research systems have developed separately. Students and staff encounter the gaps between them each time they move from one to another.

  • Websites and portals for many units

    Faculties, departments, programs and projects each require their own web presence. Without a shared platform, content quality varies and accessibility and branding become inconsistent.

  • Data protection for students and research

    Student records, data on minors and research data carry data-protection obligations and ethical constraints. Access, consent and retention must be managed with care across every system.

  • Budgets, grants and procurement

    Public and private institutions alike require budget control, grant and project accounting and procurement that satisfies funders and auditors, often across several campuses or units.

How We Help

Serve Every Audience With the Team You Have

Our Approach

Local Control for Each Faculty Within Shared Standards

Institutions operate best when faculties and units retain control of their own content and processes within shared standards. Orbio gives each faculty its own site and editors on one platform, and GlowScale gives each unit its own budgets and approvals within one set of books.

We integrate with the student information and learning management systems you already operate, so students and staff encounter fewer gaps between systems without a disruptive migration.

Data protection for students and research is incorporated into access control, consent records and retention from the start, and the whole environment is monitored so that admissions and registration peaks pass without incident.

  • Faculty and program sites with local editors on one platform
  • Budget, grant and project accounting across units and campuses
  • Integration with student information and learning systems
  • Handling of student and research data aligned with data-protection law

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Do you provide a student information system or LMS?

No. We integrate with the student information and learning management systems you use and build the administrative platform, websites, portals and assistants around them.

Yes. Orbio supports many sites on one platform with shared templates and branding, while each faculty or program has its own editors and approval workflow.
