Technology Implementation

Invimatic s approach to building the digital student onboarding platforminvolved a combination of modern technologies to ensure a user-friendly,scalable, and secure solution. Here s a breakdown of the keycomponents:

1. Custom Web Development

Framework: Ruby on Rails, a powerful and matureframework, was chosen for the backenddevelopment of the core platform. Ruby on Rails isknown for its rapid development capabilities,scalability, and large developer community
Front-End: React, a popular JavaScript library,was used to build the user interface (UI) of theplatform. React allows for the creation of dynamicand responsive interfaces that provide a smoothuser experience across different devices.

2. API Integration

To seamlessly connect with the university sexisting Student Information System (SIS),Invimatic utilized industry-standard APIintegration tools. These tools facilitate securedata exchange between the onboarding platformand the SIS, ensuring accurate studentinformation retrieval and updates.

3. Cloud-Based Infrastructure

Platform: The platform was deployed on theAmazon Web Services (AWS) cloud platform. AWSoffers a robust and scalable infrastructure thatcan handle large volumes of data and user traffic.Additionally, AWS provides various services fordata storage, security, and applicationmanagement.

4. Database System

PostgreSQL: This robust and open-source objectrelational database management system(ORDBMS) was chosen to store all studentonboarding data. PostgreSQL offers strong dataintegrity, scalability, and advanced features fordata manipulation and analysis.

5. Security Considerations

While not explicitly mentioned in the tech stack,security is paramount. Invimatic would likelyleverage various AWS security services like IAM(Identity and Access Management) to control useraccess and data encryption tools like KMS (KeyManagement Service) to ensure sensitive studentinformation remains protected.
