PayClearly, an automated payments solution, has partnered with N2N Services to give Higher Education institutions the ability to integrate their ERP systems with accounts payables, streamlining an otherwise time-consuming process.
A strategic partnership with N2N Services, a leading provider of integration systems for Higher Education, allows PayClearly the ability to offer a fully integrated accounts payables payment solution. Universities and colleges use complex ERP systems such as Banner, Colleague, Workday, Oracle and Jenzabar, among others, that contain data necessary to the AP departments daily tasks. This streamlined approach to payables can evolve a department’s processes to allow for a much higher level of efficiency, leading to great savings and revenue-earning rewards.

N2N was recently featured in a Forbes Brandvoice article from Oracle highlighting the Blockchain-Based ‘Lifelong Learning Ledger’ initiative.
The article details Brandman University and the application of competency based learning toward adult degrees. Using a cloud software platform developed by N2N services, Brandman University has built a set of microservices that enables students to earn a master’s of business administration degree from their mobile phones. As part of this effort, the university has developed a game-based learning microservice, which allows students to take a series of tests to demonstrate their competency. As students pass each test, they are automatically (and progressively) moved to the next level of the program. “Traditional courses take around six-months to complete,” says N2N CEO and founder, Kiran Kodithala. “Now, universities can break down courses into multiple rubrics, test student competencies at each level, and then place students within an academic program according to their proficiencies.”

Startup Exhibition companies are given access to Startup Grind’s global audience through media, and onsite at the annual Global Event (www.startupgrind.com/conference) held February 12th through February 14th in Redwood City, CA. The exhibition helps companies to accelerate their pace towards growth and success by gaining the visibility of mentors and investors inside the network.
“These startups have great teams, traction, technology and massive markets,” says Andersen. “Our biggest goal is for each startup to go back home with a new and improved game plan that would not have happened without the exposure of the exhibition and the mentors/resources that were gained through our network.”
N2N believes that secure and turnkey data Integration, powered by APIs (Application Programming Interfaces) is critical to the success of a modern enterprise.

I have been supporting educational institutions since 1998 with their administrative student information systems. During the last 18 years, I have supported institutions with ERP implementation, Enterprise Architecture, Application Development and overall Enterprise Management. The first 10 years of my professional career included supporting educational institutions with their Systems Integration needs and I realized the plight of IT staff at these institutions. They are constantly being challenged to integrate the ERP system that was designed in 1980’s with the latest products and solutions. The existing approach of using scripts, batch jobs, and other deprecated technologies was getting increasingly cumbersome and expensive.
I founded N2N in 2010 with a singular mission to make seamless integration affordable for us. To this effect, we designed an integration platform that seamlessly integrates campus infrastructure with the different products on-campus. Over the last 6 years, we have successfully integrated the legacy SIS systems with Mobile Applications, SaaS products, CRM platforms, Content Delivery Systems, and Learning Management platforms.
After successfully launching illuminate last year, I am more confident than ever that my firm mission to solve the integration is now within reach. Illuminate allows customers to build and secure web-services within minutes. Using Illuminate, developers can build web-services using SQL , PLSQL or stored procedures as the Business Object.

I am most excited about the potential for Illuminate to support the emerging trends in education. New entrepreneurs are actively in the process of creating “uber for learning”, “facebook for learning”, “google for learning” and many other disruptive technologies that have the ability to completely transform the way we learn in the future.
My resolution for the year 2017 is to enable every educational institution with the power of Web Services – Kiran Kodithala, CEO, N2N Integration Inc.
