Microsoft 365 Integration
Unify Teams, OneDrive, Outlook, and Azure AD with your education ERP
Overview
Bridge OpenEduCat and Microsoft 365 to deliver a consistent experience for institutions already invested in the Microsoft ecosystem. Schedule and join Teams meetings from the timetable, store and share course materials through OneDrive, sync academic calendars to Outlook, and manage single sign-on through Azure Active Directory. IT administrators get centralized identity management while educators work within the Microsoft tools they already know.
Key Capabilities
Microsoft Teams Integration
Create Teams channels per course, schedule meetings from the timetable, and record attendance automatically when students join class sessions.
OneDrive File Sharing
Link OneDrive folders to courses for centralized document storage. Students submit assignments via OneDrive and faculty access them directly in OpenEduCat.
Outlook Calendar Sync
Academic schedules, exam dates, and institutional events sync to Outlook calendars for staff, students, and parents.
Azure AD Single Sign-On
Authenticate users via Azure Active Directory. Provision and deprovision accounts automatically based on enrollment status.
Power BI Reporting
Push OpenEduCat data to Power BI for advanced dashboards covering enrollment trends, attendance patterns, and financial analytics.
SharePoint Document Libraries
Publish policies, handbooks, and institutional documents to SharePoint with automatic versioning linked to OpenEduCat records.
Setup Guide
