• Custom Programming and Analysis – IData staff has years of implementation experience in creating custom programming solutions for higher education. IData has a talented team of problem solvers, and we will work with you to create an innovative, robust solution that integrates with your core enterprise systems.

• Third Party System Real-Time Integration – Integration of systems and automated exchange of data is an important initiative for many institutions. IData staff has worked on multiple data integration projects to higher education ERP systems, and we can work with you to develop the appropriate and cost effective solution to your integration needs.

• Featured Service: Banner Upgrades – Colleges and universities that have modified SunGard’s Banner baseline code (either by modifying baseline objects directly or by creating a copy of the object and modifying this copy) are often faced with extra challenges when a new release of Banner is delivered. IData is offering a special suite of technical and implementation services for schools that need some extra help to make the transition to Banner 8.x. For more information visit here.

• Mobile and Web Application Development – IData combines our experience with system integration, custom higher education ERP development, and web development to create innovative mobile or web applications for your institution. Combining web services integrations with mobile or web platforms, we can help an institution create exciting new services for the campus community. For mobile application development such as iPhone or Droid apps, we have partnered with the the industry gurus at the Big Nerd Ranch to bring a complete and rapidly deployable solution.
