Platform Architecture
A modular, cloud-native architecture designed for higher education, unify your data, layer intelligence, and activate AI companions across the student lifecycle.
3-layer architecture: Foundation, Intelligence, Application
API-first design (REST + GraphQL)
Cloud-native, modular adoption
Pre-built connectors for SIS, LMS, CRM, ERP
Collect, Analyze, Activate
A continuous loop that transforms raw institutional data into actionable AI-driven student experiences
Collect
Unified Data Hub
Ingest and unify data from SIS, LMS, CRM, and ERP systems into a secure lakehouse. Near real-time pipelines ensure every interaction, grade, and engagement signal is captured and normalized.
Analyze
Intelligence Engine
Apply AI models and knowledge graphs to identify risk patterns, surface insights, and generate recommendations. The intelligence layer learns continuously from institutional outcomes.
Activate
AI Companions
Deliver personalized guidance through AI companions, enrollment support, academic planning, career recommendations, alerts, and more, embedded in the tools students and staff already use.
Three layers, one platform
Each layer is independently scalable and upgradeable, adopt one capability at a time or deploy the full stack
Foundation Layer
The Unified Data Hub serves as the secure lakehouse that unifies SIS, LMS, CRM, and ERP data into a single, governed source of truth.
Secure Lakehouse
Unified storage layer combining structured and semi-structured data with full encryption at rest and in transit.
Near Real-Time Pipelines
CDC-based data pipelines that capture changes within minutes, ensuring analytics and AI models use fresh data.
Role-Based Access Control
Fine-grained RBAC ensuring staff see only what their role permits, audit-logged and policy-enforced.
API-First Architecture
Every data entity is accessible via REST and GraphQL APIs, enabling custom integrations and extensions.
Intelligence Layer
The brains of the platform, AI models, knowledge graphs, and analytics engines that turn raw data into predictions, recommendations, and insights.
Knowledge Engine
Institutional knowledge graph that maps courses, programs, policies, and outcomes, providing contextual grounding for every AI response.
AI Risk Models
Predictive models that flag at-risk students based on engagement, grades, and behavioral signals, before issues escalate.
Campus360 Insights
Holistic dashboards combining academic, financial, engagement, and wellness data for a complete student picture.
Application Layer
Student- and staff-facing AI companions that deliver personalized guidance, proactive alerts, and actionable recommendations at every stage of the lifecycle.
Enrollment Companion
Guides prospective students through applications, financial aid, and enrollment decisions.
Academic Planning
AI-assisted degree mapping, course selection, and what-if scenario planning.
Universal Assistant
Conversational AI that answers student questions about policies, deadlines, and campus resources.
Transfer Evaluation
Automated credit articulation and transfer pathway recommendations.
Alerts & Nudges
Proactive notifications for at-risk students, missed deadlines, and opportunities.
Career Recommendations
Role matching, skills gap analysis, and career pathway generation.
Deployment options
