The Future Financial Workplace: Lessons for Investing in Your Workplace
Discover How Connecticut College Created a Single, Modern Hub
For many colleges, fragmented digital tools make it hard for students and staff to find what they need—especially across desktop and mobile. Connecticut College faced that challenge with an aging, on-premises portal that was difficult to maintain and out of step with student expectations. By implementing Modo Campus, the college unified more than seven critical systems—from Banner and Brightspace to Google Drive and LiveWhale—into one mobile and desktop experience.
The new platform delivers a streamlined, personalized, and cloud-first digital ecosystem that empowers students, faculty, staff, alumni, and prospective students with seamless access to resources, events, and campus services—all in one place.
Inside the case study, you’ll discover:
- 7+ campus systems unified: Banner, D2L Brightspace, Google Drive, Google Calendars, LiveWhale Calendar, Modo Communicate, and Modo Analyze—all in one platform.
- One app, every audience: Personalized personas for students, faculty, staff, alumni, and prospective students.
- Cloud-first innovation: Migrating from on-premises servers to a SaaS platform aligned with the college’s modernization strategy.
- Low-code management: Departments now update their own content, freeing IT from manual maintenance.
- Streamlined communications: Targeted, role-based messaging through Modo Communicate ensures every user sees what matters most.
- Future-ready design: Expanding integrations for digital IDs, Transact balances, and Ellucian Ethos Banner data.
By unifying more than seven campus systems into one platform, Connecticut College made it effortless for students to find what they need—anytime, on any device.
