Expertise

Draw on the knowledge and expertise we’ve gained from years of successful Higher Education (HE) projects.

• The Inoapps team joined us after years working in the industry, giving us a deep understanding and empathy for the daily challenges faced by staff and students.
• This has allowed us to develop focused offerings—from a specialized implementation methodology designed to accommodate HE governance processes and enhance knowledge transfer, to specialized support for HESA and TRAC reporting and processing sponsored students.

Industry best practice
