Too much time on process.
Not enough on people.
Universities and school districts run on paper. Admissions packets, student records, HR files, financial aid documents, accounts payable — every department has its own stack of documents flowing through processes that still require too many people to touch them too many times.
Staff spend their day rekeying data between systems, hunting for documents across disparate platforms, and manually routing files that should move themselves. Five proprietary document management vendors. None of them talking to each other. None of them giving you access to your own data without charging you for it.
The KnowledgeLake platform connects to your existing SharePoint environment and integrates directly with your business systems — Workday, PeopleSoft, and others — so documents are captured, classified, and routed automatically, and every piece of data flows to the right application without manual intervention.
What the KnowledgeLake platform
does for higher education.
Streamlined across every department
Admissions, student records, HR, accounting — document flows automated across the institution without adding headcount.
Eliminate redundant rekeying
KnowledgeLake enters data into the right applications automatically. Staff stop copying the same field into three different systems.
Instant document retrieval
Any staff member finds any document in seconds from within the application they already use. Full-text search, custom filters, tiered access.
Legacy ECM migration done right
Move from proprietary systems to SharePoint Online or Azure without disruption, without overpaying, and without losing access to your own data.
Workday, PeopleSoft, and beyond
KnowledgeLake builds the integration layer between your document platform and your core business systems — Workday, PeopleSoft, Azure Content Repository.
Minimal IT lift to deploy and expand
Capture documents, automate workflows, and add departments without significant IT intervention. Configured by the teams that use it.
Dealing with complex documents.
We have you covered.
Where inefficiencies and bottlenecks occur.
The overlooked challenges to automation.
Washington University in St. Louis.
Washington University in St. Louis — one of the premier research universities in the country — came to KnowledgeLake with a challenge familiar to large institutions: five proprietary document management vendors, none of them interoperable, all of them charging the university to access its own data. The initiative was to consolidate onto a single cloud-native platform and migrate legacy administrative systems to Azure. Working with KnowledgeLake, WUSTL migrated 14 departments from on-premises Capture Service Pro to the modern KnowledgeLake platform. Phase 2 of the project covers the migration of approximately 14 million documents to Azure, with KnowledgeLake building the integration layer between the platform, SharePoint Online, Workday, and the university's Azure Content Repository — including an AP system API that communicates directly with Workday. The 27-year partnership has expanded with each major transformation the university undertakes. When WUSTL moved to Workday, KnowledgeLake was there. When they migrated PeopleSoft documents to the cloud, no other vendor could match the straightforwardness or the cost.
