Transact includes a classroom door access module with the ability to add in custom academic event schedules such as spring break, commencement, or reunion dates. The existing product previously leveraged an administrator to configure events for the upcoming school year. The system had an imposed limit of 30 events hindering the creation of events beyond the capacity. Administrators were forced to periodically manually remove old events and create new ones to comply with the limit. The platform features needed being updated to provide a more sustainable and flexible approach to events and scheduling. Solution Blackboard partnered with IntraEdge to design and develop a reusable framework and initial module as part of their envisioned cloud-based solution known as Security Management Solution (SMS). This solution interfaces with on-premise hardware (S2 Netbox) at universities to control door locks using access cards and a configurable schedule. As part of this project, IntraEdge built a next-generation framework in which all modules can reside, as well as the initial module providing flexible, configurable options with an unlimited number of schedules. This framework also integrates with a module to grant room access based on user access level. Outcome IntraEdge was initially contracted to work exclusively on the scheduling portion of the application and successfully completed design and development ahead of schedule. The team overcame multiple challenges such as working with new, cutting edge, complex technology and environments, and working with a distributed team in different time zones. Due to the success of the project and excellent team dynamics, IntraEdge’s team was integrated into an existing team to help finish related features on the platform. The SMS application is releasing a Beta version and has been established as a standard upon which future modules will be based. People are the Platform At IntraEdge, we help innovation stakeholders accomplish their technology goals through quickly identifying the right talent, delivering flexible professional services, and providing skills-based training. Whatever technology solution we deliver, it always comes down to the humans making things happen, which is why we believe at our very core that People are the Platform.
