Higher education IT solutions

IT teams at colleges and universities don't lack tools — they lack tools that work together. LS2 Innovation focuses on the operational integration layer that ties SIS, LMS, and Microsoft 365 Education into one coherent stack.

What higher-education IT teams deal with

Higher-education IT teams at colleges, universities, and CEGEPs typically manage a complex stack: a student information system, one or two LMS platforms, Microsoft 365 Education or Google Workspace, identity systems (CAS, Shibboleth, Entra ID), library systems, classroom AV, and dozens of integrations between them. The work isn't hard because each tool is hard — it's hard because integrating them at scale, every term, with mid-term changes, edge cases, and compliance requirements, is what consumes the calendar.

The hardest IT problems in higher-ed (in our experience)

  • SIS-to-LMS sync — the homegrown PHP script everyone has, that breaks every August.
  • Multi-section course handling — a course in 6 sections becoming 6 separate Teams or Moodle courses, and instructors hating it.
  • Add/drop period — sync cadence has to drop from nightly to every 15 minutes for two weeks per term.
  • Class Notebook and content lifecycle — creating, populating, and archiving Class Notebooks at 2,000-section scale.
  • Compliance audits — Law 25, GDPR, PIPEDA reviews require scoped audit trails that generic Microsoft 365 logs don't satisfy.
  • End-of-term archive — without automation, this is a 2-week project every semester.

LS2's IT solutions

LS2 Innovation's three products are built specifically to solve the integration and class-management problems higher-ed IT teams face every term:

  • TeameoMicrosoft Teams + SIS integration. SDS alternative for higher-ed institutions.
  • ClasseoMoodle + SIS integration and class management.
  • CalendoSIS-to-calendar synchronization (Teams, Outlook, Google Calendar).

Each product comes with a named engineer per institution, 4-hour SLA during business hours, parallel-run validation before go-live, and audit-ready logging from day one.

How institutions adopt LS2

The most common adoption pattern: replace one homegrown integration with one LS2 product, validate the operational improvement (hours saved, tickets reduced), then add a second LS2 product the following year. By year three, most customers are running two or three LS2 products together.

Typical first product:

  • If you're on Moodle: Classeo first.
  • If you're on Microsoft Teams: Teameo first.
  • If schedule chaos is your #1 pain: Calendo first.
