Meet Alma’s App Center, Streamlining Third Party Vendor Management 

Intuitive tool seamlessly integrates schools’ mission critical programming into Alma SIS

We play nice with others 🙂

Created to give learning communities agency to integrate mission-critical third-party applications with Alma’s platform, this self-serve tool can shorten the implementation period by weeks or more, ensuring users are prepared well in advance of the first day of school. Alma’s App Center takes the guesswork out of third-party integrations, simplifying the entire user experience and empowering users to successfully set up and support their preferred integrations – without needing a data expert – from start to finish.

“Alma has a modern interface that is intuitive for our users … and is proactive in cultivating relationships with third party vendors to add additional functionality to the environment.”

Director for Innovation and Technology

Reliable access across all systems

Alma’s Vendor Library is front-loaded with dozens of schools’ most commonly used third-party applications. Searchable within the Vendor Library, administrators select their desired applications fitted with an installation template that allows the integration to configure to the school’s settings, and work right out of the box. Once completed, users enable the integration by selecting which schools’ files and data to share and how often the information is updated by Alma, easily viewable (and tested) right in the Integrations Dashboard. Don’t see your preferred vendor on this list? No problem! Alma can easily add to the library and work to ensure all formatting and content is correct.

Commonly used integrations

Don’t see your preferred vendor on this list? No problem! Alma will work with you to customize and automate a secure file transfer (if we don’t have it already.)

TIME-SAVING SINGLE ENTRY FOR TEACHERS

LMS Integration

Google Classroom and Canvas integrations allow teachers to continue working in their LMS of choice while eliminating dual information entry in Alma. With a simple resync, Alma pulls all aspects of assignments back into the SIS. It’s a timesaving win for teachers; one entry of information, streamlined back to Alma!

THE SKY’S THE LIMIT

Alma API

Alma’s external API is the most robust, well-documented, and extensive API on the market. Schools and districts can create custom, secure API integrations with other systems utilizing the full spectrum of data captured in Alma. Create a data flow that functions exactly as desired with helpful support and documentation and without limitations and surprise fees.

FLEXIBILITY & CHOICE

You want it,
Alma can do it.

Alma partners with each school district to identify necessary integrations and determine the best approach for achieving a fully integrated technology stack. You’ll have the flexibility to create and define integrations that suit the needs of your learning communities.

“I love Alma! It has everything that our school needs, and syncs data with other programs we use within our school.”
