Frends iPaaS is a low-code integration platform designed to simplify integration and automation. With Frends, higher education institutions can easily connect systems, automate processes, and manage APIs without extensive technical expertise. Easily gather information from different departments in one place and get a 360-degree view of your institution.
Higher education institutions benefit from Frends' reusable integrations, visibility into processes, and secure handling of personal information. This saves time and resources while ensuring better, more efficient services for students. Automate tasks, reduce manual work, and minimize errors with Frends.
Frends iPaaS makes it simple for different systems to work together, whether they’re older or newer, on-premise or hybrid. This is critical for institutions using legacy systems alongside newer cloud services. Easily share and access important data and ensure both students and staff receive better, faster services.
Universities often use multiple systems for admissions, enrollment, grades, and academic records. Frends iPaaS can integrate these disparate systems with others like CRM or learning management systems (LMS). With real-time syncing of student data across platforms, you ensure accuracy in reporting and eliminates the need for manual updates.
Handling applications from multiple sources, university portals, and international student systems can be challenging. Frends iPaaS automates data transfers between these systems and student databases, speeding up application processing, improving communication with prospective students, and reducing manual data entry.
As you gather data from various systems — such as academic performance, student engagement, and financial reports — Frends iPaaS consolidates this information and connects it to business intelligence tools like Tableau or Power BI. This provides better insights from unified data sources, enabling data-driven decision-making.
Universities are using IoT for smart campus projects like energy management, security, and facilities monitoring. With iPaaS, you can connect IoT platforms to campus management systems, allowing real-time monitoring of energy use, building security, and equipment management — all through a single, easy-to-use interface.
Why iPaaS Matters for Higher Education
Higher education is going through a major shift with the rise of MOOCs and cloud-based learning platforms. Students can now access courses from anywhere, making learning more flexible and accessible. But managing all these systems and keeping them connected can be a real challenge.
Frends iPaaS steps in to make life easier for universities. Instead of juggling disconnected systems, iPaaS integrates everything — LMS, student portals, and more—into one smooth workflow. This means less manual work, more automation, and better communication between students and staff.
With Frends iPaaS, universities can create a connected learning environment. Imagine students signing up for courses, accessing lectures, submitting assignments, and receiving grades — all through one platform. Frends iPaaS brings these pieces together, making it easy for students to focus on learning, not navigating different systems.
It also allows for real-time collaboration between students and professors, helping to improve communication and support. Plus, it makes it easier for universities to keep things running smoothly, even as they add new tools or scale their systems.
As universities grow and adopt more technology, their IT systems need to keep up. Frends iPaaS is designed to scale with your institution. Adding new tools or systems is simple, and it reduces the need for custom coding or complicated IT infrastructure. This helps universities save time, money, and resources while focusing on what matters— education.
Data security is a big concern for universities, especially with so much sensitive information being shared online. Frends iPaaS ensures secure data transfers between systems, protecting student records, financial information, and more. By automating these processes, iPaaS reduces the risk of human error and ensures everything stays up-to-date and safe.
With more students learning online and more tools being used every day, iPaaS is becoming essential for higher education. It simplifies the way universities manage their technology, making it easier to automate processes, secure data, and provide a better experience for both students and staff.
In short, Frends iPaaS helps higher education institutions keep up with the times. It’s a tool that makes the shift to digital learning smoother, more secure, and easier to manage. By connecting systems and automating tasks, iPaaS frees up time and resources so universities can focus on what they do best — educating the next generation.
Aalto University, Finland's second-largest university, uses Frends iPaaS for integration and process automation. Aalto University now easily connects thousands of students and staff and ensures a smooth data flow. "With Frends, we can operate and understand everything even without technical knowledge," says Patrick Maltusch, Head of Integration at Aalto University.
"Frends has a modern, process-driven way to develop and document integrations. The fact that there’s a collaboration forum with other municipalities is a big plus. It was also possible to place the product in a Swedish data center and still be able to use the SaaS service."
