    Get to know CampusNet® Academy: Our solution for the management of professional and private continuing education.

CampusNet® Academy

CampusNet® Academy is our solution for linking the demand for continuing education with the right offers. Our integrated software solution offers you support at every step, from the idea of a learning offer to billing and evaluation. Our software adapts to your individual needs.


Who is CampusNet® Academy suitable for?

CampusNet® Academy is the seminar management software of the CampusNet® solution, which is well-known in the higher education sector, adapted to the needs of academies, further education providers and the training courses of large HR departments. The No. 1 commercial software provider in the higher education sector, the Academy version offers many setting options and assistants with which even larger academies can be managed and adapted to your business processes.

CampusNet® Academy provides support in all phases of the transition from traditional analog to digital business. We therefore offer an ideal business basis for medium-sized to very large academies.

Both open and in-house seminars as well as coaching sessions and conferences can be managed - individually designed as face-to-face, online or blended versions. We know that Educational products are the capital of an academy. CampusNet® Academy therefore supports all phases from product development to product management.


Technical description

The Academy solution has been under active development since 2014 and is now ready for the market. After a decade of development, our software meets the latest software standards. The entire code was developed by our team, which is why all rights are held by us in Hamburg.

We worked together with TÜV SÜD Akademie in Munich to provide the technical input and digital processes. TÜV SÜD Akademie uses our solution itself and replaced its previous Orbis system with our help during the data migration.

An important basic paradigm is that CampusNet Academy offers a solution for all processes. Both for the learners and for the learning service providers. Your colleagues use CampusNet® Academy exclusively to organize education. In the same way, participants, corporate clients and trainers have everything in one portal, including access to Zoom or Microsoft Teams.

The solution is an integrated system that saves your working time thanks to many automations and assistants and simply processes things in the background. As we have no interfaces in the core process, the system is time-efficient even with large volumes of data. Our API interfaces are possible to all systems you want to connect to.


Processes in CampusNet® Academy

All academy processes are mapped very precisely in CampusNet® Academy. You can decide to what depth your processes should be mapped. As the entire development of the software was penned in-house, additional attributes can be processed that are individually and precisely tailored to your business.

Manage educational products securely

  • All relevant information for a product - such as minimum or maximum number of participants, duration, associated learning materials and examinations, required room size and numerous other resources - is stored on the product. Qualifications to be achieved and skills to be acquired can also be stored.
  • Product management gives the product a structure. This structure includes not only the order of the subject blocks, but also the time required for them and the learning materials provided (regardless of their form, i.e. whether print, PDF, multimedia, webinar, exam, etc.). There can be several versions of a product: per year, per characteristic and per target group.
  • Customize the number of participants and admission requirements with little effort.
  • Based on the stored product prices, lecturer contracts and conditions, our system automatically creates a preliminary calculation that shows how worthwhile it is to hold the event at the time.

Book and check your events

  • A booking assistant guides your customers through the booking process so that no relevant information is omitted.
  • Participants book events on the website or by contacting the Academy directly. We differentiate between corporate clients and private payers.
  • For corporate clients, several participants can be booked in one order and for different events at the same time. This means that only one invoice is required afterwards.
  • There is also an intelligent duplicate check, which checks for each order whether a person or company is already known to the system. Corrections to the master data can be made in the same step. This not only prevents annoying data volumes caused by duplicates, but also saves time.
  • All participants are usually assigned to companies or firms. Negotiated discounts or discounts granted in promotions can be stored here, which are automatically taken into account in the booking process.

Create events

  • In our system, educational products are comparable to templates from which the same or similar events can be derived again and again.
  • A business event can be derived from any educational product (“template”) at any start and end time.
  • A suitable room is suggested based on the room list while the event dates are being created. Your rooms are optimally utilized.
  • In addition to available room sizes, the assistant also automatically checks public holidays and closing times. Possible start dates are then suggested. Furthermore, our intelligent event planning always aims to avoid weekends.

Annual planning

Planning for the coming year is supported by our assistants, so that all products automatically create the events with a volume key (i.e. with the number of desired events). This saves you an enormous amount of time and effort in your annual planning.


Canceling and rebooking events

CampusNet® Academy is focused on good customer management. If an event has to be canceled, e.g. because too few participants have registered, CampusNet® Academy offers an assistant-controlled rebooking process. The system automatically searches for identical/other events and shows you suggested changes. You can then decide which option best suits your training program.

Participants can then be contacted and booked onto the accepted event with just a few clicks. You can decide whether special conditions such as discounts should be included. Participants are automatically informed both in the event of a cancellation and in the event of admission to the new event. The system also automatically generates an adjusted order. The person processing the order always has an overview of the status of the rebooking process, as the booking history is stored in the participant's data record.

Recurring compulsory courses

If the last recurring compulsory courses were booked via CampusNet Academy, the respective persons are automatically reminded of the renewal by e-mail. The duration of the validity period can be set on the product to ensure a complete qualification. This is calculated individually and printed on the certificate (e.g. “valid until November 2025”).

As training events often do not have a precise cut-off date for extending the certificate, a grace period can be set that determines a time window that is still acceptable for participants and thus leaves an option for extension (e.g. 2 months). If a participant extends their certificate one month earlier or one month later, this is accepted by the system. Initially, participants upload their first qualification to CampusNet® Academy via the participant portal. Such requests are subsequently accepted by organizers. If there are other reasons, an organizer can accept an extension at any time and admit all participants.


Technical description

CampusNet® Academy uses the latest software standards. A Dot.Net framework is used and O-Data is used for communication.

At the center (see illustration) is the application in which all logic is located and the data is collected. Cloud services can also be connected, as well as third-party apps such as SAP or DATEV, which can then communicate with each other in the service framework (middle image) via interfaces (O-Data, Soap, Rest). The logics are divided into different service areas so that they can work independently of each other in parallel. This increases performance enormously.

The application can be displayed from any device via the presentation layer: on the one hand in the desktop app (i.e. in the classically installed client) and on the other via the web portals for all participants, trainers and company customers. The portals are created in responsive web designs so that the functions are also available via mobile devices.

Open and API-based architecture with business process engine

Organizing education is complex

Planning, implementation and follow-up support pass through many hands

Offering educational events and comprehensive educational products always requires educational professionals to coordinate countless tasks and coordination steps. Specialist departments, external partners and suppliers, as well as trainers and customers communicate with each other. They often use different IT systems, exchange unstructured data and have to overcome system breaks and data mismatches on a daily basis.

Typically, there is a lack of

  • standardized communication channels
  • harmonized processes
  • feedback with a status overview
  • clear summaries
CampusNet® Academy simplifies the organization of education

Whether for in-house business or offers to external customers: Everyone uses the same system, finds the data and evaluations they need and communicates effectively. This makes it easy to organize education on a day-to-day basis. The integrated software manages the many tasks and supports targeted communication between those involved. The effort involved is reduced. Complexity becomes manageable.

Highlights at a glance: Intelligent software assistants and much more

For participants, administrators or IT departments: CampusNet® Academy makes everyone's work easier.

  • Through the order without a mouse click
    Automatic order processing saves a lot of time. CampusNet® Academy checks incoming data. If it is complete, customers are automatically navigated through the internal process. From the event to invoice generation. Manual reworking is only required in special cases. 80% of the data is processed fully automatically. Order processing automatically checks for duplicates, order completeness, contracts, discounts, quotas and blocked entries.

  • Who, what, where? Quickly clarified
    Once an event has been created, automatic assistants book rooms and suggest lecturers. The system pays attention to the qualifications of the lecturers and always keeps an eye on the costs. Assignments are made based on availability, ratings and proximity of potential lecturers to the event location.

  • Planning the year ahead
    Events for the coming year are automatically planned in the annual planning based on the last three years. The educational products are set up directly with suitable rooms. Among other things, the growth rate, high-turnover months, number of events, public holidays and closing times for each location are taken into account.

  • All contracts at a glance
    Order an entire contingent or negotiate discounts: All customer contracts are stored in CampusNet® Academy. Whether individual or corporate customers - nothing can be overlooked. If an event does not take place, discounts and prices are automatically transferred to the new event during the rebooking process. Via the customer portal, customers can clearly view all conditions and remaining quotas as well as the participants of their company.

  • A matter of opinion
    Don't search, find. CampusNet® Academy guides users directly to the relevant tasks in the system. No more long clicks and searches. Organized dashboards display all relevant event information, such as status and upcoming actions, in tiles. These views can be customized. This controls who sees which data in which process.

  • An integrated structure to grow into
    CampusNet® Academy is fast thanks to its integrated structure. Even with many events and a high number of participants, the software performs well and scales as required. CampusNet® Academy is suitable for 1,000 to 500,000 participants per year and grows with your company. If processes or responsibilities change, you can easily add additional features yourself, change the CI or adapt the roles. That is maximum flexibility.
Simply connected

With CampusNet® Academy, you can continue to use all your existing systems as they are connected via intelligent and bidirectional interfaces. Our flexibly configurable interfaces allow data and learning content to be managed in CampusNet® Academy, although processing takes place in the connected system. The unique added value: all employees use just one system - CampusNet® Academy.

Our system integrates efficiently into your software landscape. Existing components such as billing systems, LMS or websites can be easily connected and managed from CampusNet® Academy. As the code is 100% owned by Datenlotsen Education Systems GmbH, individual adaptations are also possible. The systems can be scaled as required thanks to the architecture. This means that the academy world can continue to grow together with you.

Next steps

We always install at least two systems. One test system and one production system. First, all peripheral systems are connected to the test system in order to check the interfaces. We migrate your existing data to CampusNet® Academy securely and reliably. All data is protected in accordance with the official guidelines of the GDPR. With over 20 years of experience, we are experts in interfaces and data migration. Setup on your infrastructure or in the cloud takes place in three phases: Setup, configuration and production phase.
