As a committed long-term partner with higher education institutions, Timecruiser incorporated open-architecture philosophy in CampusCruiser portal service. This results in solutions for institutions to maintain control of its own technology direction and destiny. Timecruiser aims to be a value-add partner that brings innovative functions, open-ended solutions and cost efficiency to the higher education market.
Have CMS/LMS already?
For institutions that already have implemented a course management or learning management system, CampusCruiser portal is the best solution to protect previous investments and further enhance the institution's total communication efficiency. To avoid user confusion, CampusCruiser's Academic Tools and Learning Management Suites can be invisible to the users. Solutions of single sign-on integration with major eLearning application are available with CampusCruiser.
Have portal already?
If your institution has a portal already, but would like to offer your constituents certain functions of CampusCruiser portal such as e-mail capability, personal productivity tool set, survey, or course management functions, CampusCruiser can be repurposed easily to fit into your institution's portal environment. For example, CruiserMail™ package offers institutions only the e-mail service and personal productivity suite. All other undesired portal functions are stripped off from this offering. Institutions need not worry about user confusion and, more importantly, unnecessary financial outlays.
What about other and future 3rd party applications?
To assist institutions to achieve the benefits of one destiny portal, Timecruiser provides professional services to collaborate with institution's technical team in order to facilitate customized single sign-on solution for homegrown web applications (Please refer to Third Party Application Integration). Meanwhile, as an education technology partner, Timecruiser continues to look for value-add third party applications to offer ready solutions of seamless integration for institutions.
