Connected student journeys that scale
Universities and education providers are under pressure to move faster while doing more with existing resources. When admissions, learning, and finance systems do not work together, student journeys suffer and teams spend time fixing gaps instead of supporting learners. NJC Labs brings deep experience delivering education system integration for higher education institutions to help simplify this complexity. We design integration foundations that connect student, learning, and finance systems through higher education system integration that is predictable, secure, and built to last.
Our approach is practical and delivery focused. We work with your existing platforms, respect operational constraints, and ensure changes can be introduced safely without disrupting day to day services. The result is clearer student journeys, more reliable data for staff, and student lifecycle integration for universities that can adapt as education models continue to evolve.

AI agent for education operations
NJC Higher Education accelerator
The NJC Higher Education Accelerator streamlines student onboarding, course management, enrollment, and payments, while delivering a 360-degree student view. It does this by integrating Salesforce Education Cloud with LMS platforms, payment systems, and other core applications commonly used across higher education. It is designed to reduce manual effort across the student lifecycle and give teams a consistent, reliable view of information at every stage.
Rather than starting from scratch, the accelerator provides a proven integration foundation that can be adapted to your institution’s processes and systems. This helps education teams move faster with less risk, while maintaining the governance and stability required in always-on environments. Admissions, academic, finance, and student services teams can work from the same data, improving coordination and reducing avoidable delays.
What’s included in the education integration accelerator
Student onboarding
Structured, automated journeys from applicant to enrolled student, designed to reduce manual touchpoints and delays.
UCAS integration
Reliable ingestion of UCAS application data, duplicate checks, and updates for confirmation and clearing.
AI agents for students
Foundation patterns for student-facing assistants that handle queries, updates, and next steps, backed by trusted data flows.
Course enrolment and payments
Connected enrolment events, billing, and payment updates, keeping finance and student services aligned.
Improved tutor experience
Better context for teaching and support teams through shared data models and integration-driven visibility.
Higher education data models
Standardised data elements that improve reporting, reuse and interoperability across integrations over time.
Security and compliance
Integration patterns built with governance in mind, supporting auditability and institutional controls efficiently.
Integration roadmap
Planned pathways for JISC, SLC, and CAS-related integrations as institutional needs evolve with regulatory change.
Proven education system integration patterns
Admissions and applicant processing
Ingest applicant data, create student records, check duplicates, and support confirmation/clearing flows, so admissions teams spend less time reconciling records.
Learning platforms
Sync enrollment to the LMS automatically, track engagement, and bring completion/grade signals back into the student record, so support teams see what’s happening without manual exports.
Salesforce Education Cloud
Connect online applications to program admission, enrollment, fees/billing, and notifications, so student lifecycle workflows don’t fragment across tools.
Roadmap scenarios
Support attendance sync and payment tracking with SLC, plus visa eligibility checks and CAS issuance workflows, designed for institutions that need strong compliance and traceability.

Why Choose NJC Labs for education system integration?
Education IT leaders need to update their systems without increasing risk or interrupting critical services. At the same time, they must maintain operational continuity and regulatory compliance. Our delivery approach uses pre-built APIs, standard education data models, and reusable templates to reduce rework, control technical debt, and establish a scalable higher education system integration foundation. As a result, institutions accelerate transformation while preserving stability. API-led connectivity improves data consistency across student, learning, finance, and reporting platforms while preserving the integrity of core systems. In addition, it reduces dependency on brittle point-to-point integrations. Built for always-on environments, we apply strong governance, automated CI/CD pipelines, and thorough testing with quality gates. Consequently, changes remain predictable, auditable, and aligned to institutional controls. NJC Labs brings deep integration delivery experience in regulated, enterprise environments and, therefore, stays engaged beyond go-live as a long-term partner.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can you integrate Salesforce Education Cloud with our LMS and student systems?
Yes. We integrate Education Cloud with LMS platforms (e.g., Moodle/Canvas) and other enterprise systems using reusable APIs and consistent data models. This ensures data stays aligned across platforms without creating brittle point-to-point connections.
Do you support UCAS integration for UK institutions?
Yes. The accelerator includes UCAS-focused scenarios such as application ingestion, student record creation, duplicate checks, and confirmation/clearing flows. These integrations are designed to support accuracy, clear tracking, and reliability during high-demand periods.
Can this help with enrollment-to-payment workflows?
Yes. We connect enrollment events to billing and payment processing so student finance updates are timely and easy to match across systems. This reduces manual matching and improves visibility for both finance teams and students.
How do you handle security and compliance?
We implement policy-driven security and governance across APIs and integrations, aligned to institutional requirements and auditability needs. All integrations follow controlled, well-governed patterns suitable for regulated education environments.
Are you able to make our environment “AI-ready”?
Yes. If you’re using Salesforce Data Cloud, we help bring data from across your systems into a trusted, governed foundation and operationalise insights directly into your apps and workflows. This also enables AI agents for students and staff, supporting enquiries, next steps, and decision-making using reliable, real-time data rather than isolated reports.
