Porter and Chester Institute and YTI Career Institute Select Campus Management's CampusNet Cloud

BOCA RATON, Fla., Oct. 29, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Campus Management Corp., a leading provider of enterprise software products and services for higher education, today announced that Porter and Chester Institute and YTI Career Institute have selected CampusNet^SM Cloud Enterprise to host their technology solution, offering the benefits of flexible on demand infrastructure and the ability to connect to on-premises systems.

Porter and Chester Institute and their recently acquired YTI Career Institute are two leading career training institutions, collectively serving 5,000 students across 13 campuses. To effectively support the acquisition required an enterprise-level hosting offering that would seamlessly integrate their applications and an off-site virtual data center. By migrating to CampusNet Cloud, the administrative personnel from both institutions are able to access all their hosted servers, allowing them to operate more efficiently across multiple campuses.

"The Cloud is a big focus for higher education and is even more pivotal since our acquisition as we faced the massive challenge of merging two similar institutions but with distinct data attributes and trying to consolidate our systems into a single operating platform," said Brian Boyce, Director of IT, at Porter and Chester Institute. "Capitalizing on our successful history of working with Campus Management, we ultimately selected CampusNet Cloud based on its reliable, scalable and secure technology, as well as the fact that it provided access to our hosted applications and made life for our administrative team easier post-acquisition."

"The higher education space is constantly evolving and Campus Management has witnessed many of the challenges higher education institutions have faced when hosting software on-premises. With CampusNet Cloud Enterprise, we are empowering institutions to efficiently transfer their infrastructure to the cloud," said Connor Gray, Chief Strategy Officer of Campus Management. "Moving to the cloud includes the added benefit of allowing an institutions' applications, in this case—the entire CampusNexus^SM suite—to be managed simultaneously on a single platform, which has allowed Porter and Chester Institute and YTI Career Institute to easily merge their two separate student information systems."

CampusNet Cloud Enterprise allows institutions to leverage both existing Campus Management applications as well as other applications within the enterprise footprint such as learning management and financial applications.   

CampusNet Cloud can be deployed rapidly, customized as needed, and offers the following features:

• Leverages a secure multi-tenant environment
• Allows direct connections and integrations with hosted SQL server and Active Directory via virtual private network to on-premises systems
• Deployment of 3rd party applications alongside the Campus Management portfolio
• Ability to add servers, storage, memory, and computer resources as needed to a private cloud
