THE ORIGIN
The term 'Academy' is often used to describe higher education as a whole. Adding the 'One' to the term 'Academy' implies a shared, centralized and managed enterprise designed for higher education.
THE IDEA
Rarely does an idea stimulate such passions, innovativeness and meaning. Speaking and listening to students, faculty, advisors, deans, provosts, parents, friends, presidents, association executives, public policy advocates, business associates, investors, bankers or strangers on the street, one can clearly see the need to help address the complexity of student and faculty mobility across higher education.
A FUSED SINGLE FOCUS
Our unique focus addressing mobility across institutional structures reveals fused challenges and opportunities. AcademyOne is 100% focused on the issues stemming from mobility. No other company, we know of has that distinction.
AcademyOne has attracted attention across a spectrum of thought leaders. It is testimony to the vision and people who are associated with the company. From the Board of Directors, Advisory Council to all the employees, this company is unique in how we are pioneering the development and delivery of online academic workspaces where knowledge grows through shared content, community and commerce alleviating the pain of disparate and isolated systems.
THE PRINCIPALS OF SERVICE
Founded in response to the frustrating capacity issues and duplication serving mobile students and their transitions, the company has been building tools, content and services bridging institutional structures and policies through a service oriented architecture (SOA). In addition, the company has been passionate and faithful in employing industry specifications and standards where available to overcome proprietary definitions and minimize the complexity of integration. The principal of SOA enables applications to be loosely coupled, agile and flexible. They also can fit in to the decentralized infrastructure securely.
EDUCATION EXPLORES AND REVEALS ASSUMPTIONS AND THE UNKNOWN
AcademyOne is helping educational stakeholders re-think assumptions complicating how they respond to mobility and emerging enrollment patterns. Removing the dependencies on proprietary systems, institutions can free themselves from duplication and blind spots caused by standalone systems. They can react to expectations, the need to access academic credentials in real-time, improved student preparation, faster evaluation and reducing student churn far better when coordinated and aligned with partner institutions. We believe sharing and working together, institutions can better serve their stakeholders while saving time, costs and resources in a more efficient manner.
