LYNBROOK, N.Y., May 24, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Tools4ever, the
leading provider of Identity & Access Management solutions in
education, today announced a new partnership with Blackboard Inc.
The partnership brings together two market-driving education
solution providers, offering mutual customers an integration of
Blackboard's flagship Learning Management Solution (LMS) Blackboard
Learn Tools4ever's two flagship solutions namely, their
Identity and Access Management product (IAM) and their IDaaS
product HelloID. The integration facilitates user lifecycle
management across the LMS, SIS, and applications, from a single
point of entry.
"We are thrilled to partner with Blackboard to offer our many
mutual customers seamless integration between our products," stated
Managing Director of Tools4ever, Dean
Wiech. "For over 20 years, we have built a stronghold in the
education industry so it is critical that we partner with other
market leaders, such as Blackboard, who offer an exceptional
education experience for students and staff."
Blackboard Learn and IAM
Blackboard Learn is a powerful virtual teaching and learning
environment. Its capabilities extend beyond those of a
traditional learning management system (LMS) by expanding online
learning, increasing employee engagement and optimizing learning
outcomes. IAM connects the Student Information System (SIS) and the
user accounts in the network with other systems to automate user
provisioning, self-service access management, helpdesk delegation
and access governance processes. The integration will allow
mutual customers to extract information from any Student
Information System (SIS) and synchronize it with Blackboard Learn.
For example, when a student record is created, updated, or deleted
in the SIS, IAM detects the change and shares this information with
Blackboard Learn. This connection prevents duplicate records,
ensures information in Blackboard Learn is always up-to-date,
reduces risk of error, and increases efficiency by saving the IT
team valuable time.
Blackboard Learn and HelloID
The integration with Blackboard Learn also extends to
Tools4ever's cloud-based Single Sign-On (SSO) product, HelloID.
Both Blackboard Learn and HelloID are deployed on the cloud,
offering customers a streamlined user experience.
HelloID is a customizable and user-friendly dashboard where
students and staff can access all approved teaching and learning
applications, including Blackboard Learn. HelloID's dashboard can
be securely accessed from anywhere, on any device, at any time. If
a student does not have access to Blackboard Learn, they can
request access via the dashboard with HelloID's Service Automation
functionality. The data owner can approve this request which
automatically registers in the IT infrastructure, granting the
student immediate access.
