Challenge
A nonprofit educational healthcare organization faced the challenge of migrating its core student information system (SIS) from an on-premise version to Azure SQL Server. However, their on-premise SQL Server systems continued to support legacy applications critical to student services. The reliance on SQL-based integrations had caused performance challenges, particularly with API data capture. Ensuring uninterrupted access to these systems was essential for maintaining student satisfaction and operational continuity.Solution
To solve this, the organization partnered with Striim, utilizing its real-time data integration and streaming capabilities. Striim’s solution efficiently captures and transforms data from the cloud-based Azure SQL Server and integrates it back into the on-premise systems with minimal latency using in-memory processing. This setup enables seamless synchronization of real-time data between cloud and on-premise environments without the need for custom development, reducing costs and enhancing system functionality. This collaboration ensures uninterrupted access to essential student-facing applications during and after the migration, while also providing a foundation for future advanced analytics initiatives.Results
- Real-Time Data Access: Striim enables immediate access to current student, faculty, and class schedule information.
- Improved Response Time: Enhanced ability to respond quickly to candidate student inquiries.
- Increased Conversion: Streamlined data availability and improved operational efficiency help convert more candidate students into enrolled students.
- Seamless Integration: Ensures critical systems remain up-to-date, supporting both student and administrative functions.
