Columbia University Single Sign On: From Home-grown to Community
For almost ten years, Columbia University had been running a home-grown web single sign-on (webSSO) system called WIND, and integrating it with a variety of on-campus applications. When Columbia decided to adopt Google Apps they considered the effort required to extend WIND again, and decided it was time to consider a more standards-based approach. Columbia was attracted by the promise of less development, and faster deployment. They chose the Apereo Foundation Central Authentication Service (CAS), an open source WebSSO application that provides authentication for local and cloud-based applications.

uPortal at the California Community College System
Like most colleges, the California Community Colleges (CCC) wanted to implement a portal for their students that would simplify access to important information and services. It would be designed to increase student understanding of the importance of education planning, activities, and campus-based resources that can help keep them stay on track to complete their educational and career goals. CCC chose to develop their “MyPath” Student Portal using Apereo uPortal, a scalable solution that supports multi-tenancy, responsive design, and integration with an identity provider. Apereo community software updates and existing services helps CCC reduce costs and save funding - funding that can then go towards innovation and support of students.

UniTime and the Faculty of Arts at Masaryk University
When the Faculty of Arts at Masaryk University was faced with building renovation, the old manual timetabling process was no longer sufficient. "This class has always been in this room on Monday morning" and "this professor likes this room" just wasn't going to cut it. They adopted and adapted UniTime, and schedules were published eight weeks after adoption.
