Education technology
that drives
student outcomes
From SIS integrations to enrollment automation, we deliver education technology that improves student success and reduces administrative burden. DAISA reads your stack and delivers before traditional vendors finish scope.
Education & Higher Ed technology,
delivered in days.
LMS Integration & Customization
Build on or integrate with Canvas, Blackboard, Moodle, D2L Brightspace, and PowerSchool — adding custom workflows, single sign-on, and data pipelines without replacing your existing LMS investment.
Student Information Systems (SIS)
Automate data flows between your SIS (Ellucian Banner, PowerSchool, Infinite Campus) and downstream systems — admissions, billing, financial aid, and analytics — eliminating manual data entry.
Admissions & Enrollment Automation
Automated application processing, communication sequences, and enrollment workflows that convert prospects into enrolled students faster — with CRM-driven nurture and decision support for admissions teams.
Learning Analytics & Outcomes Reporting
Build dashboards measuring student performance, course completion, learning outcomes, and at-risk identification — giving faculty, advisors, and administrators actionable data to improve results.
Financial Aid & Student Billing
Automate financial aid packaging, disbursement workflows, and billing cycles — reducing staff burden while improving accuracy and compliance with Title IV and state regulations.
Faculty & Staff HR Technology
Workday, ADP, and Ellucian integrations for faculty hiring, onboarding, payroll, benefits, and compliance — cutting HR admin overhead while improving employee experience across campus.
We know exactly what breaks
in education & higher ed technology.
Siloed Student Data Across Systems
The Problems
Student records exist in the SIS, LMS, advising system, financial aid platform, and housing system — advisors spend 30+ minutes per student pulling data from multiple screens
No early warning system for at-risk students — faculty see a student struggling but there's no automated alert to the advising team before it becomes a withdrawal
Transfer credit evaluation, degree auditing, and graduation planning all require manual data pulls and spreadsheet reconciliation
Institutional research reports take weeks to compile because data from different systems can't be joined without manual exports
▸ How We Deliver It
DAISA builds a unified student data platform — an integration layer connecting SIS, LMS, advising, and financial systems into a single API — and creates automated at-risk alerting, advising dashboards, and institutional research data pipelines that run automatically.
Admissions Funnel Leakage & Enrollment Decline
The Problems
Inquiries, applications, and admitted students all require manual follow-up from admissions counselors — there's no behavioral automation to keep prospects engaged between touchpoints
Yield management is reactive — institutions don't know which admitted students are at risk of choosing a competitor until they see enrollment deposit data in May
Digital marketing attribution stops at form fills — there's no closed-loop reporting connecting ad spend to enrolled tuition revenue
CRM workflows in Slate, Salesforce, or TargetX are underutilized — built during implementation and never optimized for the actual enrollment journey
▸ How We Deliver It
DAISA builds behavioral automation sequences in your enrollment CRM, creates predictive yield models that identify at-risk admits before May 1, and instruments closed-loop attribution from marketing spend to enrolled revenue — turning your admissions team into a data-driven operation.
Administrative Overhead & Compliance Burden
The Problems
IPEDS reporting, accreditation data submissions, and state reporting are all compiled manually each cycle — taking weeks of institutional research staff time that could be automated
Title IV financial aid compliance requires meticulous record-keeping that's spread across disconnected systems — creating audit risk every year
Faculty and staff HR processes (hiring approvals, onboarding, benefits enrollment) involve paper forms, email chains, and manual data entry into HR systems
Course scheduling, classroom assignment, and faculty load management require coordination across academic departments with no shared system visibility
▸ How We Deliver It
DAISA automates IPEDS and accreditation data pipelines, builds Title IV compliance monitoring dashboards, and digitizes HR and academic operations workflows — reducing administrative burden while improving accuracy and audit readiness across all regulatory reporting.
Cloud Nerd + DAISA — how it works
We're an IT consulting firm — real experts who specialize in your exact tech stack. We scope the engagement, define what needs to be built, and stay accountable for the outcome. Think of us as the senior consultant who actually knows your tools and never disappears after the kickoff call.
DAISA is our proprietary AI platform — six specialized agents that automate the full software development lifecycle. While a traditional firm bills 6 consultants for months of work, DAISA's agents run in parallel around the clock: analyzing requirements, designing architecture, writing production code, running tests, reviewing quality, and deploying — in hours or days.
The expertise of a senior consulting team, delivered at AI speed. You get real strategy (from us) and real code (from DAISA) — with two human approval checkpoints before anything ships. No black box, no surprises. Just outcomes, in days instead of months.
