KUALA LUMPUR, Oct 26 (Bernama) -- Boomi, the intelligent connectivity and automation leader, has announced that Brisbane-based St Laurence’s College (Lauries) is using the Boomi platform to enhance the end-to-end experience of its 1,990 students, and 250 teachers and staff, from enrolment and onboarding through to exiting the school.

With no integration capability previously in place, Lauries selected the Boomi platform to connect its on-premises and cloud-based applications to establish a centralised database and ensure data is consistent across all systems.

In a statement, Boomi said this enabled the college to overcome challenges in accurately collecting and managing the vast information sets it requires throughout its students’ learning journeys.

“Lauries has tapped Boomi to create a reliable foundation to connect its technology and data so it can give all its attention to adding value to the student journey and empowering teachers to make that possible,” said Boomi Director of Australia and New Zealand, Nathan Gower.

Meanwhile, Lauries Dean of Business Operations and Information Technology, Nick Lieschke said the school needed an integration platform to remove the complexity and chose Boomi for its robust, low-code integration capabilities.

“It is a crucial part in our mission to future-proof Lauries, and makes it much easier to introduce new software as a service (SaaS) as part of our cloud-first strategy. Even more importantly, we can focus on the teaching and learning of students,” he added.

Lauries is using Boomi’s integration platform as a service (iPaaS) to connect its human resources (HR), finance, and school management systems, as well as a growing number of cloud-based applications.

Before using the Boomi platform, Lauries handled all data collection and management processes manually, which caused difficulties in ensuring data consistency across its information technology (IT) environment, requiring time-consuming manual handling which also introduced the risk of human error.

With the knowledge of where its data lives and how it is being leveraged, Lauries has also created a digital safety net. Once students, teachers, and staff leave Lauries, the college can ensure their information will be disposed of, reducing the risk of data leaks.

In future Boomi projects, Lauries is looking to deploy Flow, Boomi’s workflow automation solution, to handle onboarding and exit forms, in which the automation will also support requested changes to user accounts, such as instances of students changing their elective subjects.
