Meeting Abstract: Boston College (BC) is developing and implementing a new next-generation student information system (SIS) that is entirely application based. BC’s EagleApps is a fully modular solution for managing the core business of colleges and universities, and it is the first microservices based enterprise system available for higher education. The DXtera Institute, in collaboration with Boston College, will lead a community of interested colleges and universities in an implementation study to evaluate this innovative technology. The goals of the study include understanding the capabilities and architecture, exploration of incremental deployment options and to help design implementation plans tailored to participating institutions.
