The Data & Systems Integration group enables key applications to share information through a variety of software techniques. We function like the middleware, or glue, that holds the Brandeis technology environment together by facilitating feeds and other integrations between systems. We manage role-based access control, which regulates access to systems or networks based on the roles of individual users within the university. We also share responsibilities for the Data Reporting, manage the Web Content Management System and the Learning Management System (Moodle).

Key Services

  • Data Integration: Connecting software applications and systems using data feeds, APIs and other integration tools.
  • Custom Web Applications: This includes the People and Offices directories, course schedule webpages, etc.
  • Identity Management: This is how Brandeis determines who has access to what systems, services, and facilities through confirming identity and credentialing information such as affiliation, role and status of each community member.
  • Learning Management System: This is a Brandeis-hosted Moodle implementation containing course content, syllabi and course communications tools.
