Interfaces in connection with cimoio academy

Customers who use our cimoio academy product line can build interfaces to existing systems as required.
These interfaces can be used either to import data into cimoio or to export data from cimoio. Bi-directional interfaces also exist, where data from another system is enriched and returned to cimoio or vice versa: data from cimoio is transferred to another system, enriched there and then returned to cimoio.

This is particularly common in the education provider environment:

  • ERPs (enterprise resource management systems) for billing purposes and for master data
    • SAP
    • Oracle Netsuite
  • CRMs (customer relationship management systems) for customer master data
    • Salesforce
  • Other LMS (learning management systems) or training provider catalogs
    • Saba / Cornerstone
    • SAP SuccessFactors
  • CMS (content management systems) for online presentation of the portfolio
    • Typo3

We have a lot of experience in the implementation of interfaces and a tried and tested approach.
An interface to a system to which we have already built an interface cannot simply be copied.
In most of the systems mentioned above, customizing has been carried out, which must be taken into account.

Example projects

STL GmbH’s lighthouse project with cimoio academy is our project with the Sparkassenakademie Baden-Württemberg (german only).

We have been supporting the Sparkassenakademie Baden-Württemberg (SABW) since STL GmbH was founded. We also supported them during their move from their two locations in Baden-Württemberg to their new location in Stuttgart at Pariser Platz behind Stuttgart’s main railway station. During these years, we have worked with cimoio to accompany SABW’s transition from a traditional provider of face-to-face training to a modern and contemporary provider of training in all forms.

In contrast to the Sparkassenakademie, which works with a mixture of face-to-face and digital content, the JARO Akademie is a purely digital academy. In our joint project, the main focus was on smooth but GDPR-compliant processing of online purchases and direct (online) consumption of the purchased content.
