Slate & Salesforce Integration.
Most CRM-to-SIS integrations assume a specific hosting model — usually whatever your institution happens to be running today. Ours doesn't. Here's how our Slate and Salesforce integration handles both what you're running now and what's coming when Ellucian moves you to SaaS.
Works today, and after you move to SaaS
The integration is built to run in your environment as it exists right now — whether that's Banner or Colleague on-premises, hosted, or already partway through a SaaS transition. When your institution does move to Ellucian's SaaS platform, the integration keeps working. You don't re-architect the connection or re-map your fields; the same sync logic that works today keeps working tomorrow.
Built to be seen, not just trusted
The integration runs on our own proprietary software, and we built it so your staff never have to take our word for what happened. Every sync writes to a log you can actually read. If something looks off, you can trigger a manual sync instead of waiting on a scheduled job. And the software displays both sides — what's in your CRM and what's in your SIS — side by side, so your team can see the match themselves instead of trusting a black box.
“We didn't want to build a black box. If something looks wrong, you should be able to open the log, see exactly what happened, and fix it yourself — not wait on a support ticket.”
What that looks like in practice
In one recent run, the integration synced 130 individual student addresses — pulling the data, comparing it against what was already on file, creating or updating each record, and logging every step — in two and a half minutes.
A decade of doing this before we built our own
This isn't our first CRM sync. We spent nearly ten years working inside other syncing tools — the platforms institutions were already running — before we built our own. We kept what worked, left out what didn't, and built the result to be the tool we always wished we'd had.
“We built this system after nearly a decade of working with CRM syncing tools — taking the pieces we liked from various products to make sure we ended up with the best solution, not just another one.”
