What Lingk Offers
We deliver both expert integration services and technology to support higher education data initiatives. Institutions can leverage our platform to accelerate and scale integration efforts, or engage our team to design and implement solutions using their existing integration technology (Boomi, Mulesoft, Workato, etc).
Strategic Services & Modernization Roadmapping
Vendor-neutral Phase 0 engagements that align CIOs and cross-functional leaders on IT governance, enterprise architecture, and digital transformation priorities. Establish a data and AI readiness roadmap with clear milestones, budget alignment, and executive buy-in.
SIS Implementation & Modernization
End-to-end student information system deployment and ERP modernization — from requirements gathering and data readiness through go-live. Deep expertise in Ellucian Banner, Colleague, Workday Student, and Anthology platforms for enrollment management and academic records.
CRM Implementation
Configure and deploy CRM platforms like Salesforce Education Cloud to streamline recruitment, admissions, student success, advancement, and alumni engagement workflows. Unify constituent lifecycle data for improved retention and enrollment yield.
Data Analytics & Reporting
Design modern ETL pipelines that move institutional data into cloud data warehouses and lakehouses for real-time dashboards and predictive analytics. Enable IPEDS compliance reporting, student retention insights, and data-driven decision-making across departments.
Data Governance
Transform institutional data into a trusted, well-governed asset with formalized policies, stewardship roles, and FERPA-aligned compliance frameworks. Establish data quality standards, business glossaries, and accountability structures that improve confidence in reporting at every level.
Data Integration
Eliminate campus data silos by connecting your SIS, CRM, LMS, financial aid, and ERP systems through scalable API-based integrations. Our integration engineers replace or supplement internal IT resources to deliver real-time, bidirectional data synchronization.
Data Migration & Archival
Plan, validate, and execute institutional data migrations to new enterprise systems — including SIS, CRM, LMS, and cloud data warehouses. Automated pipeline-based approaches ensure data integrity, historical record preservation, and minimal downtime during cutover.
Integration Platform (iPaaS)
A modern enterprise iPaaS built on Apache Spark with both no-code and low-code editors for orchestrating real-time data pipelines, ETL transformations, and system-to-system connectivity. Pre-built connectors for Ellucian, Workday, Salesforce, Anthology, and 100+ edtech and enterprise applications enable rapid campus integration deployment.
AI Agents
AI-driven digital labor agents guided by Forward Deployed Engineers that automate the entire integration project lifecycle — discovery, design, development, QA, and go-live. Generative AI accelerates data mapping, API endpoint identification, and transformation logic from weeks to minutes, reducing total cost of ownership.
Metadata Management
Enterprise metadata management platform that unifies data dictionaries, business glossaries, schema documentation, and data lineage tracking across your entire campus ecosystem. Establish a single source of truth for data catalog governance, field-level mapping rules, and cross-system visibility to support institutional compliance and reporting accuracy.
