DQ Smart Connector A single update. All systems synchronised.
DQ Smart Connector automates user and account management in Swiss schools.
Updates from source systems such as ClassOwl or Microsoft 365 are automatically transferred to all connected target systems – including Apple School Manager and Microsoft 365. Set it up once, and enjoy long-term peace of mind.
YOUR CHALLENGE
Schools juggle too many systems on a daily basis
Manual account management is time-consuming and carries risks.
Every new enrolment, every change of class, and every departure must be manually updated in every system. This ties up resources, leads to errors and leaves behind outdated user accounts that pose a security risk.
- New students or teachers have to be added manually across multiple systems.
- The start of a new school year involves a massive administrative burden in terms of account management.
- Class changes and permission updates are not consistently applied across all systems.
- Outdated or forgotten accounts increase data protection and security risks.
- A lack of synchronisation between the school administration, Apple School Manager and Microsoft 365 leads to inconsistencies.
Centralised automation for your school’s IT
DQ Smart Connector connects your school’s IT systems and automatically synchronises user accounts – from creation to deactivation.
You simply define once which systems act as sources and which as destinations. DQ Smart Connector takes care of the rest.
Central User Management
User changes – new additions, modifications, and departures – are recorded once in a source system and automatically synchronised with all connected target systems.
Supported systems: ClassOwl, Microsoft 365, Apple School Manager.
Further integrations available on request.
Role-based access
Define who is permitted to access the administration interface.
ICT officers, the school office and the school management are each granted appropriate access rights to configure source and target systems or initiate synchronisations.
Automatic or manual – the choice is yours
Data synchronisation can be carried out fully automatically at set intervals or on an event-driven basis.
If necessary, IT staff, the school office or the school management can manually trigger synchronisations with a single click.
Not tied to the school year and scalable
DQ Smart Connector operates continuously, without the need for a reset at the end of the school year.
It is also possible to roll it out class by class – ideal for a controlled pilot scheme. The solution grows with your institution.
Hosting in Switzerland
Servers and data are located exclusively in highly secure data centres in the greater Zurich area. The service boasts an uptime of over 99 %. Maintenance, updates and monitoring are handled by DQ Solutions.
Grows with your needs
Via the integrated marketplace, you can gradually expand DQ Smart Connector with further integrations. These include, amongst others, connections to learning platforms, digital educational publishers and government systems.
DQ Solutions is constantly expanding this ecosystem. Additional modules are optional and can be added as required.
