Salamander Soft

The platform connects management information systems (MIS) with directory services and cloud platforms including Microsoft Active Directory, Microsoft 365, and Google Workspace. It handles the automated provisioning and deprovisioning of user accounts for students, staff, and other members of educational institutions, synchronising account data, group memberships, and permissions between source systems and target environments.

The service is configured on a bespoke basis to match the specific data structures, naming conventions, and operational requirements of each institution. SalamanderSoft works with schools, colleges, and universities of varying sizes across the United Kingdom and internationally.

Typical functions include creating new user accounts when students or staff are added to the MIS, updating account attributes when roles or year groups change, disabling or removing accounts when users leave, and managing distribution lists and security groups based on MIS data. The service is aimed at IT departments seeking to reduce the administrative workload associated with manual account management and to maintain consistency between their student records and the systems users access day to day.
