Data Without Limits:

How the UL System Unlocked the Full Power of Canvas and Enterprise Data

After leading a successful transition to Canvas across all nine of its campuses in early 2024, the University of Louisiana System quickly turned its attention to the next frontier: transforming the way it accessed and used data. Like many systems, UL faced the challenge of unifying information from core platforms like Canvas, Ellucian Banner, Slate, and Workday to create a single, trusted source of truth.

With increasing pressure to drive data-informed decision-making and reduce manual reporting burdens, the UL System needed a solution that could:

Deliver near real-time data across its enterprise systems
Normalize complex datasets into a neutral, BI-friendly format
Access data in weeks, not months
Save on costs by reducing the need for manual processes or third-party tools

By partnering with K16 Solutions, the UL System created a data architecture that makes Canvas LMS data more actionable and accessible—while seamlessly combining it with SIS, ERP, and CRM data. Today, UL institutions are using this approach to improve operational efficiency, enhance institutional research, and drive strategic outcomes with reliable, integrated data.
