Case Study: Northern Alberta Institute of Technology (NAIT) achieves trusted identity data and faster integrations with Semarchy xDM

Improving data management & student experiences with unified data

Northern Alberta Institute of Technology (NAIT), a Canadian polytechnic serving more than 34,000 students across four campuses, faced fragmented identity data from many systems, inconsistent definitions of affiliation, and increasing application proliferation that made integrations slow and error-prone. After evaluating vendors, NAIT worked with InfoMagnetics Technologies (IMT) and selected Semarchy xDM to deliver a commercial Master Data Management (MDM) solution.

Semarchy xDM was implemented as a central hub, using industry-leading match-and-merge capabilities to create a single “golden record” for students, staff, alumni, and donors. The Semarchy solution cleanses, standardizes, and validates identity data, powers NAIT’s website and student portal with real-time flows, speeds up integrations, improves data quality and consistency across systems, and reduces support requests—enabling NAIT to reliably manage identity data for its 34,000+ users.
