Higher ed teams need automation that works with existing systems, respects limited resources, and improves service without adding complexity. That's what ProcessMaker Higher Ed delivers.
Manage routing, eligibility, approvals, equivalencies, exceptions, and policy logic visually, so process changes do not require hard-coding or long development cycles.
Low-code workflow design helps departments automate faster while IT maintains oversight, integrations, security, and governance across the platform.
Coordinate work across Ellucian Ethos, Banner, departments, documents, notifications, and external systems from one workflow layer built to keep processes moving.
ProcessMaker Higher Ed automates the work that moved across Ellucian systems, departments, approvals, and forms. Higher Ed teams get fewer manual handoffs, better visibility, and a faster resolution for both students and staff.
