Founded 2003 · Microsoft-Certified · SOC 2 Type II · ISO 27001:2022 · FERPA Compliant · Public-Sector Pedigree ·
From legacy SIS replacement to FERPA-compliant cloud, research data compliance to AI adoption — Intone helps universities and college systems modernize critical infrastructure without disrupting students, faculty, or the academic calendar. Twenty years of delivery depth, Microsoft-certified, public-sector proven.
Higher education runs on systems that were thoughtful when they were built — and brittle now. The student information system has been customized so many times that no one fully owns it. The research compliance environment evolved one grant at a time. The campus identity directory is held together by integrations that work until they don’t. And every project is timeboxed by an academic calendar that doesn’t pause for technology transitions.
Most modernization partners don’t understand the constraints. They propose big-bang transformations that ignore the registration window, the FERPA implications, the federal research compliance overhead, and the political reality that faculty, students, and staff all have legitimate veto power.
Higher education needs a partner who understands that you cannot “go live” the week before fall registration — and who has the public-sector pedigree to navigate the compliance, governance, and stakeholder dynamics that make this work fundamentally different from corporate IT. That is the partner Intone has spent two decades becoming.
Intone delivers the complete portfolio of enterprise IT services to universities and college systems — with FERPA, Title IX, research compliance, and academic calendar constraints embedded as foundational design requirements. Higher education is where governance maturity and institutional continuity matter most, and where Intone’s certifications and pedigree align most directly to buyer requirements.
Replace aging Banner, PeopleSoft, or homegrown student systems with modern, cloud-aligned environments. Phased migration that respects registration cycles, financial aid disbursement windows, and research grant deadlines. Mainframe and Windows-legacy retirement done without operational breaks.
Align student information systems with finance, HR, advancement, and admissions CRMs into one consistent data layer. Workday, Banner, Salesforce Education Cloud, Dynamics 365 — integrated through API-first architecture rather than fragile point-to-point connectors.
Migrate research computing, administrative workloads, and student-facing applications to Azure. Deploy Microsoft 365 Copilot for faculty and staff productivity. Establish Microsoft Purview governance for FERPA, HIPAA (for medical campuses), and federal research compliance.
Build the student-facing portals, faculty workflow tools, advancement systems, and research administration platforms that off-the-shelf platforms cannot model. Azure-native, Power Platform-enabled, accessible (WCAG/ADA), and integrated into your existing ecosystem.
Continuous monitoring across student data, research environments, and administrative systems. Aligned to NIST 800-171 for CUI, NIST 800-53 for federal research, CJIS for campus public safety, and FERPA for student records. Powered by IntoneGladius® for unified visibility.
Continuous compliance monitoring for FERPA, HIPAA, NIST, federal research, and state regulatory requirements. EagleEye365® delivers audit-ready evidence packages — turning compliance audits from sprint events into continuous state.
Help universities adopt AI responsibly — for student services, research administration, faculty productivity, and operational efficiency — with the governance framework that academic and research environments demand. Aligned to NIST AI RMF and emerging higher-ed AI guidance.
When you need experienced practitioners on campus — for a project, a transition, or sustained capability — Intone places qualified professionals quickly through a US-based talent pipeline. Plus advisory services from senior practitioners who have done this work at peer institutions.
Reduction in FERPA compliance evidence time
One representative engagement: a Research 1 university managing multiple colleges with sensitive research data handling requirements and federal audit obligations. Manual compliance evidence collection was consuming compliance and IT teams for weeks before every audit cycle and threatening semester planning.
Reduced FERPA compliance evidence preparation time by 94% through continuous controls monitoring. Cleared subsequent compliance review with zero findings and reallocated IT team capacity from audit preparation to research data infrastructure modernization supporting new federal grant initiatives.
Founded in 2003. Microsoft-certified. SOC 2 Type II. ISO 27001 certified. Two decades of higher education and public sector delivery that signals the governance maturity and compliance discipline universities require — and that procurement and security teams recognize as foundational.
Public sector and federal agency delivery experience translates directly to FERPA, Title IX, and accreditation requirements. The governance maturity that satisfies a federal audit aligns to the institutional compliance standards universities now need.
SIS modernization + research compliance + identity management + cybersecurity + application development + IT staffing under one roof. For higher ed CIOs managing complex multi-system environments, this means fewer vendor relationships, fewer compliance handoffs, and one accountable partner.
Dynamics 365 and Azure for education workloads. Power Platform for institutional automation. Plus EagleEye365® for continuous compliance and deep experience with NSF, NIH, and federal research data handling — ensuring compliance maturity across teaching, research, and operations.

Intone deploys continuous FERPA controls monitoring across student information systems, research data repositories, and identity infrastructure. We map institutional systems to FERPA requirements, generate compliance evidence on demand, and maintain audit-ready documentation. For universities, this replaces multi-week compliance scrambles with sustained FERPA readiness.
Yes — Intone has deep experience phased SIS migrations for universities and college systems. We plan migrations around semester calendars, maintain parallel systems during transition, and deploy rapid rollback procedures. Migration from legacy platforms (Banner, legacy custom SIS) to modern systems (Workday, Colleague, others) with zero disruption to students and faculty is central to our higher ed IT practice.
Intone delivers comprehensive research compliance across FERPA (student records), HIPAA (health research), NSF and NIH requirements, and federal grants management. We design secure research data handling systems, manage compliant data repositories, and ensure grant-funded research data is handled in alignment with funder requirements and institutional policies.
Yes — Intone is Microsoft-certified and has extensive experience Microsoft cloud transformation for universities. We migrate student and faculty productivity to Microsoft 365, enable Teams for collaborative learning and research, manage identity integration with campus directory systems, and ensure all deployments align to FERPA and institutional data governance requirements.
