Case Study: ish integrates onCourse with 7 third-party tools with ObjectStyle

ish integrates 7 third-party tools in 5 months with ObjectStyle

ish, the company behind the onCourse student management platform, faced a challenge when its education industry clients requested integrations with several popular third-party accounting, marketing, and teaching automation tools. The goal was to integrate services like MailChimp, Moodle, and Xero without compromising the core architecture or performance of the onCourse platform. ObjectStyle was engaged to address this need.

ObjectStyle implemented a solution by creating a lightweight, standalone API connector microservice to handle the integrations. This approach allowed them to successfully integrate seven third-party services one by one, enabling automated data exchange for events like student course sign-ups. The effort totaled 5,250 man-hours over an average of five months per integration, and the results provided course providers with a dedicated interface to manage the new connected services.
