Pathify and PeopleSoft

How does Pathify amplify PeopleSoft investments?

Oracle PeopleSoft offers a self-service front end for its technology suite, including functions like course registration and advising. But as most institutions leverage a multitude of tech outside of PeopleSoft, it’s critical to provide a consistent user experience reaching across the entire enterprise.

Pathify provides schools with a modern presentation layer while connecting the SIS with the institution’s digital ecosystem to create a singular, unified experience — with scores of clients successfully amplifying their existing Oracle investment.

Moving to Oracle Cloud? Adding Pathify ensures a consistent look and feel while limiting the impact on students and other users.

Pathify covers the entire student lifecycle from prospect to alumni, while engaging faculty, parents and campus visitors.

Connecting People

In addition to tying together all content, technology and communications, Pathify remains the only student portal adding people into the mix. Pathify Communities supports Groups, Clubs and the broader school community, with the Engagement Hub mirroring what makes your institution unique.

Market Leading Feature Set

With over 100 customers and nearly 1,500,000 active users, Pathify is higher ed’s fastest-growing independent portal product. It’s tried, tested and loved.

“It’s really nice the way students can create a personalized dashboard for themselves while allowing us to lock down widgets we think are important. The sky’s the limit on which systems we link to.”

Todd Norris, Chief Information Officer at Saint Mary’s College

“I really believe in the concept of the product with the ability to intermingle both engaging type communications as well as subtle nudges and action-oriented nudges in one feed.”

Joe Mancini, Executive Director of IT at Montgomery County Community College

“One of my favorite parts about Pathify is how it combines all of our academic resources with our student involvement and engagement activities. Our students find a club, event or activity simply by searching some keywords or phrases based on their interests. There’s no excuse anymore for missing important information.”

Jessica James, Assistant Director of Orientation and Student Activities at Concordia University Irvine

“With Pathify, we’ve partnered to connect to other critical systems that students need access to so we can drive them to one place.”

Bret Ingerman, Vice President of IT at Tallahassee Community College

“The portal already feels like a very familiar product. I told a lot of people to think of it like LinkedIn or Facebook, but just for the campus.”

Dalton Boggs, Front-End Web Developer at Concord University

“Working with [Pathify] has just been so fantastic because when there have been things that we wanted to have in the portal that they hadn’t done before, they were willing to work on it and code it up for us. They demonstrated to us that they could really bring our needs to fruition.”

Daniel Connor, Director of Enterprise Applications at Antelope Valley College

“Pathify’s integration [with Canvas] pulls so much information out of the LMS, I don’t even see why people would bother logging in to the platform natively other than turning in an assignment.”

Deborah Lee, Senior Director of Institutional Research and Effectiveness at Concordia University Irvine

Frequently Asked Questions

Pathify’s deep integration with PeopleSoft allows institutions to surface the most critical information students need in their day-to-day lives, including (but not limited to) GPA, major, advisor, graduation date, holds and restrictions. By 2024, Pathify plans to handle course registration from inside the Engagement Hub.

No problem. Pathify makes it easy to migrate between SIS vendors or move from PeopleSoft to the Cloud while maintaining a consistent front end.

Absolutely. Pathify provides a whole host of methods for integrating on-prem, customized versions of PeopleSoft.

It sure does. Pathify’s Recipe Library provides a growing list of 100+ Recipes, connecting higher ed’s most popular tools through a variety of data transfer methods and formats. System Admins run Recipes to create both Widgets & integrations with Pathify features without the need for a developer.

If you have devs on staff, their time is freed up to leverage Pathify’s proprietary middleware platform (Flow) to create Widgets & Pages with any JS-framework. They use Flow to build custom Widgets, Pages or feature integrations, with Recipes providing launchpads to get started.

Pathify offers Standard Implementation free of charge. If you have something super custom we’ll scope it out with you, but the vast majority of our customers are implemented without setup fees.

In a post-COVID world lacking in-person connection, Pathify’s Communities module connects constituents with peers, departments, campus offices, support services, student organizations, and more to seamlessly enhance a sense of community, belonging and support.

Pathify focuses on a couple of key factors during implementation and launch — time to value and rapid adoption. The Pathify team works with schools to identify their ideal launch timeline, then focuses training, content, integration and marketing efforts around ensuring the vast majority of students actively use the app just days after go-live.
