Key Benefits

Built-in business objects for Institutional Process Management and Improvement

AEFIS collects your academic data from your source of truth (your SIS or other systems) and provides a repository for all of your academic business objects creating an academic platform to manage your institutional processes. All your business objects, courses, programs, curriculum maps, syllabus are versioned and you can track changes as you move along in your process improvement.

Built in Form Designer, Workflow and Process Engine

AEFIS architecture includes a visual form designer and a built-in workflow engine. Dynamic forms and workflows are used in many of our solutions and will power your digital transformation. Your users can create and manage these processes with just visual tools and no-code!

Customizable but also supports Institutional Governance

AEFIS platform is easily configured by templates and settings. This configuration aligns with the complex academic hierarchy and can be set and customized at different levels. You can set a value at the institution level, and update It for a specific department, or even a course if necessary. Each setting can be enforced at higher levels too! One college can lock the setting enforcing it to all lower levels providing governance.

Built-in Scheduling using Institutional Milestone Events

AEFIS was designed with automation and ease of use in mind. The built-in scheduler, lets you configure your business processes using the timelines and terminology you are accustomed to. Define your terms’ milestone events, and configure all your processes once, AEFIS will orchestrate all of your institutional processes for you.

Open, Accessible and Transparent

AEFIS integrates with your institutional systems, SIS, LMS, and SSO systems and continuously receives data from them, providing you a data-rich platform to assess, automate and improve your processes. If your SIS doesn’t store your co-curricular activities, manage them in AEFIS. AEFIS will be your source of truth for any institutional data that you don’t store in another system!

Event-driven Architecture

AEFIS uses an event-driven architecture, to orchestrate important processes like starting surveys, activating sections at the beginning of terms, and others. This event-driven architecture is the engine behind the synchronization of complex business events and enables flexible scheduling, providing a real-time stream of events that you can also tap into, for a better understanding of what’s happening in your institution.
