Case Study: Education Elements achieves a 154% increase in reading scores and 50–60% faster content integrations with Informatica

Education Elements - Customer Case Study

Education Elements builds personalized learning environments for K–12 districts—serving 200+ schools, 4,000+ teachers and 120,000 students—and faced multiple data and onboarding challenges: teachers struggled to reconcile non-standardized student performance data from many digital content partners, provisioning and custom point-to-point integrations consumed scarce engineering time, onboarding new districts and content integrations took weeks to months, and a 7,000-student client required faster enrollment and Salesforce/API connections.

By adopting Informatica Cloud and PowerCenter (including a Salesforce connector and custom connectors), Education Elements standardized integrations, enabled “citizen integrators,” and delivered single sign-on for students. Integration time for content partners fell from 2–3 months to 2–4 weeks (50–60% faster), Salesforce integrations halved to 1–2 months, PowerSchool integrations are 50% faster, and teachers gained timely GoodData reports—resulting in streamlined onboarding, saved instructional time and measurable learning gains (one district saw reading scores rise 154%).
