Regent Partners with N2N for SIS Integration
Regent Education has partnered
with N2N Services in an effort to make
it easier for schools to implement the Regent 8 financial aid management system.
According to Regent Education, schools are adopting the Regent 8 financial
aid management system as they shift from time-bound enrollment models and to
student-centric enrollment models, such as borrower-based, non-term and
competency-based models, and the Regent 8 financial aid management system can
support those more student-centric models. However, Regent's current process of
integration with student information systems (SIS) requires the involvement of
school IT departments, and the limited resources of those departments can delay
the deployment of Regent 8 in schools.
"Many of our customers have a very immediate need to re-engineer their Title
IV administrative processes," said Randy Jones, CEO of Regent Education, in a
prepared statement. "In some cases the necessity is based on the need to reduce
operating costs, and in other cases it is the need to support non-traditional
models like competency based. Our current SIS integration process requires
involvement from school IT departments, and limited IT resources at the
institution can result in a delay in the deployment of Regent 8. Our
partnership with N2N will help schools overcome this issue."
N2N Services is a software and services firm focused on the higher education
market. This partnership will enable Regent to use N2N's integration cloud to
create adapters to help IT staff integrate Regent 8 into their student
information systems faster. Regent Education will develop the adapters using N2N
integration APIs (application programming interfaces) for N2N's "Dataport"
edition. "These adapters will create a repeatable process that will reduce
resource needs for both Regent and the institutions they serve," according to
information from Regent Education.
