Many higher education institutions are eager to deploy AI but are discovering a hard truth: AI can’t deliver value without unified, governed data. The campuses making real progress are fixing their data foundations first—turning AI from pilots into trusted, durable capabilities.

Higher education analytics don’t scale without the right data foundation. This blueprint explains how institutions build trusted, scalable analytics data pipelines—from SIS to warehouse—that support BI, advanced analytics, and AI-ready data strategies.

Implementing a Student Information System is one of the most complex initiatives in higher education. This article outlines proven best practices for planning, executing, and stabilizing an SIS implementation.

ETL and ELT tools are foundational for data pipelines, but modern integration requires more than batch data movement. This article compares iPaaS vs. ETL/ELT and explains how platforms like Lingk enable real-time, scalable, end-to-end integration.

Integrating Ellucian Ethos with existing systems does not have to be complex. Learn how Lingk’s iPaaS and deep Ethos expertise enable higher education institutions to streamline integrations, reduce risk, and scale with confidence.

Flat files, Data Connect pipelines, and Ethos complexity create long-term integration problems for Ellucian institutions. This blog explains why they break—and how Lingk modernizes them with AI and expert services.

Higher education technology ecosystems are becoming increasingly diverse, making vendor lock-in a costly barrier to innovation. A system-agnostic integration strategy gives institutions the freedom to choose best-fit systems, modernize on their terms, and maintain long-term agility.

Lingk is redefining system integration with an AI-powered delivery model that dramatically cuts timelines while improving accuracy and reducing IT strain. By combining AI Agents with expert Forward Deployed Engineers, organizations can modernize integrations, eliminate backlogs, and build a stronger data foundation faster than ever.
