Integration Partners

API concept illustration

Schools sometimes ask if Engage can integrate with one or more of their school's existing ancilliary software.

We find there are two main reasons for this. Familiarity, or wanting to use a specific product which enhances Engage.

The answer is usually ‘yes.’ We categorise integration with these additional softwares as Solution Partners, Alternative Functionality Partners, and Data Brokers.

Currently, Engage plays nicely with the following providers.

 

Solution Partners


A Solution Partner is one with which Engage integrates to provide a solution to an educational or operational area for which Engage is not currently wholly designed.

 

SalamanderSoft

Solution Partner


SalamanderSoft's Active Directory enables the automatic creation and maintenance of users and groups in Active Directory, Office 365, G Suite for Education and Apple School Manager, directly from Engage.

In other words, SalamanderSoft ensures that new users are consistently and fully set up as they arrive so they can start teaching or learning immediately.
