6B provides end-to-end interoperability and integration services — from discovery and design to development, testing, deployment, and ongoing support. Whether you’re implementing LTI connections, synchronising student data, integrating assessment solutions, or modernising legacy systems, we ensure your platforms work together reliably and compliantly.
We make interoperability simpler – reducing complexity, accelerating delivery, and enabling your digital solution to work in harmony with the education systems that matter most.
Understanding Interoperability and Integration in Education
Education organisations rely on multiple systems to support teaching, learning, assessment, administration, and analytics. Without integration, these systems become siloed, creating duplicated effort, inconsistent data, and fragmented user experiences. Interoperability ensures that information flows smoothly between platforms, enabling staff and learners to work more efficiently and confidently.
Modern integrations in education rely on widely adopted standards such as LTI, OneRoster, QTI, Edu-API, SIF, and SCIM for identity. By using standards-based approaches, institutions can reduce custom development, improve scalability, strengthen data governance, and ensure long-term compatibility with evolving platforms. Effective interoperability enables automated enrolment sync, unified login experiences, consistent assessment data, and seamless access to learning resources — all essential for a cohesive digital ecosystem.
Our Interoperability and Integration Process
Our process begins with a discovery phase where we analyse your existing systems, data flows, and integration requirements. Through workshops with educational, technical, and operational stakeholders, we identify pain points, define target outcomes, and map the technical landscape. This ensures we design solutions that align with instructional goals, administrative workflows, and compliance expectations.
We then design the integration architecture, selecting the most appropriate standards, APIs, and messaging patterns. Our engineers build and configure integrations using secure authentication, robust data mapping, and reliable synchronisation processes. Comprehensive testing — including functional, performance, and interoperability validation — ensures that integrations operate smoothly within your live environment.
Once deployed, we manage rollout, monitoring, and stabilisation to ensure the integration performs reliably under real usage. We provide ongoing optimisation and support, adapting integrations as your systems evolve or new requirements emerge.

Readiness checklist for Interoperability and Integration
- Identify the systems that need to exchange data or work together.
- Document the types of data that must be shared and how frequently they change.
- Confirm whether your platforms support standards such as LTI or OneRoster.
- Map current workflows to understand where manual effort or duplication exists.
- Clarify authentication, security, and compliance requirements.
- Define the outcomes you want to achieve, such as automation, improved UX, or data consistency.
