TopSchool Releases TopX, Enabling Easy, Real-Time Integration Across Numerous Educational Systems
Open Platform Enables the Institution to Deploy Best of Breed Solutions for Student Services
Denver, CO - January 27, 2010 - TopSchool, a
leading SaaS provider of Student Lifecycle Management (SLM)
solutions for higher education, today announced the release of
TopXTM, a robust set of Web services to help
institutions simplify the way they manage student
information. TopX allows schools to easily extend
functionality and quickly create real-time integrations across
educational systems, while leveraging TopSchool's SLM system as a
central hub for all student data.
"At TopSchool, we have recognized a major gap in the education
market for an easy and flexible way for institutions to manage data
across their systems," said Matthew Schnittman, president and CEO
of TopSchool. "We have focused our solution on an architecture that
allows extensibility and open integration delivered in a Software-as-a-Service
model, putting more administrative control into the hands of the
institution."
Schnittman continued, "We have built a core suite to manage
student information and our open
architecture allows a school to leverage the unique systems
that make the most sense for its organization. Instead of
limiting an institution's opportunities like some closed legacy
systems on the market, or even charging for API's, we want to make
it as easy as possible for a school to integrate with best of breed
partners and custom applications."
With TopX, seamless integration of applications across the
institution means no longer being locked into a single vendor or a
monolithic suite of products. Because the TopX platform is managed
and supported by TopSchool, integrations are faster and maintenance
costs are reduced. TopX is included in TopSchool's SLM
system, which also includes a customizable student portal, an
easy-to-use CRM component, a robust SIS, and an
intelligent reporting suite to manage student information from
prospect to placement.
TopSchool has already created integrations with some of higher
education's favorite applications, which can easily be turned
on for each client institution. In the future, TopSchool
plans to launch an application exchange, enabling developers and
clients to build their own components, integrate them on their own
with the TopSchool solution, and begin to share and sell those
applications to others in the TopSchool community.
