Aptron presented “Using WebWizard to Enhance your Admissions Portal: A Case Study” at the 2020 Southeast Education Users Group (SEDUG) Conference

Mel Soriano, Aptron Director of Integration and Innovation, gave a presentation “Using WebWizard to Enhance your Admissions Applicant Portal: A Case Study” at SEDUG 2020 on Thursday, November 19. For more than 20 years, SEDUG has been serving Ellucian Colleague users. Originally open to schools from Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee, Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi, Florida, Puerto Rico, and Bermuda, SEDUG is now open to all Colleague users no matter where you are from. Due to COVID, this year’s conference was 100% virtual and free to all attendees. It featured over 20 sessions in multiple tracks across 3 days on topics related to Ellucian Colleague.

For over 17 years, Mel has been working with Joliet Junior College (JJC) to enhance the online experience of their applicants. In his presentation, Mel discussed JJC’s evolving goals and how Aptron’s WebWizard capabilities were used to achieve them while integrating with Ellucian Colleague. Mel also talked about how Aptron is employing Web Wizard Restful Services to adapt and integrate the robust and flexible Collēgix Applicant Hub for use by Colleague users.

Mel and Dianne Ackerman, Vice President Application Development, hosted Aptron’s virtual booth at SEDUG 2020. They enjoyed meeting with current as well as future Aptron clients in the virtual booth and learning about their needs. Dianne is spearheading the Aptron effort to develop the Collēgix Companion Applications Series to expand and upgrade the capabilities currently available to Colleague users. The Aptron Collēgix Applicant Hub and other applications will soon be available for Ellucian Colleague users.

With WebWizard you can easily integrate interactive web pages, third-party products, or custom-built applications with Colleague Self Service and your enterprise database. No need to create complicated data mapping tables; just call your existing Colleague subroutines to pull and push data.

Aptron is proud to have been a sponsor of the 2020 Southeast Education Users Group (SEDUG) Conference and looks forward to hearing from conference attendees and other Ellucian
