Planning Your Integration

How Long Will It Take?

A conservative estimate for the data integration project duration is three months. Each institution’s data ecosystem and CAS situation are different, so the work involved in building a data integration can vary. Your workload over the academic cycle can also add more variability to the project timeline. With a dedicated team, it’s possible to build data integration much faster.

Things to Consider During Your Planning Stage

Here are some questions to consider when planning your integration:

• At what stage(s) do you want data and documents from WebAdMIT?
• Do you want to import SSN to TargetX?
• How should In Progress applications be imported? (i.e, inquiry, unsubmitted application, or both?)
• What data needs to be imported to TargetX? (Download the Data Dictionary via WebAdMIT to view available data and documents.)
• Consider:
  • What is required to create and review applications in TargetX?
  • What is needed for decision letters?
  • What is required to create records in SIS?
• How many schools and test scores (both official, if applicable, and unofficial) need to be mapped?
