Case Study: Ivanhoe Grammar School achieves 100% portal adoption and automated AD integration with Elcom

Ivanhoe Grammar School - Customer Case Study

Ivanhoe Grammar School, a multi‑campus coeducational school in Victoria, needed a modern, secure CMS after moving away from its previous LMS left their portal costly, outdated and non‑responsive. The school required easy content management, robust user access controls, Active Directory integration and Single Sign‑On, .NET compatibility, and the ability to build custom modules that tied into existing school systems.

Elcom’s .NET CMS delivered AD/SSO integration, scheduled AD imports, and a flexible Visual Studio/API framework so Ivanhoe could build C# modules (timetable feeds from Synergetic, subject selection, letters system, embedded sites and reusable code blocks) and a personalised, responsive homepage. The result: 100% family adoption, ~70 self‑sufficient content publishers, major time savings from automated user syncing, positive usability feedback and a dynamic portal tailored to the school’s needs.
