Key features of the Ethos integration

Automated Joiners, Movers, and Leavers: The integration enables institutions to automate the onboarding and offboarding of identities, including students, employees, contractors, and parents, streamlining identity management processes.

Real-Time Data Lookup: Fischer Identity reads from Ellucian's Message Queue, triggering events in near-real-time, and looking up information from over 80 Ellucian Ethos Data Models. This allows for quick and efficient data access and management.

Delta Exports and Data Management: Fischer Identity offers full exports or delta exports of Ellucian Ethos Data Models. After exporting data, Fischer Identity prioritizes data from multiple data 

Bi-Directional Data Integration: Fischer Identity can import (write back) data to Ethos, keeping the data synchronized between systems and enabling data-informed decision-making.

Use case specifics 

Institutions can export data from and Ellucian Ethos and consume it within Fischer Identity's policy engine. The integration combines information from Ethos, such as student profiles, employee profiles, etc., to generate usernames and emails based on the exported data. This information and more can also be pushed back into Ethos as needed.

Other examples of the integration's capabilities include writing back additional Fischer-generated values as authentication codes for account claiming and using other Ellucian solutions to communicate with targeted users regarding their identity. The integration also enables the exporting of buildings or departments to automate policy generation or generate downstream system entitlements for use in an identity lifecycle.

In summary, the integration between Fischer Identity and Ellucian Ethos provides institutions with several key features, including automated identity management processes, real-time data lookup, delta exports and data management, and bi-directional data integration. The integration enables institutions to efficiently manage user identities and access to various systems and resources, streamlining identity management processes and improving data-informed decision-making.
