Certified Partner Program
Join A Growing Group Of Innovative Technologies
Working Together To Deliver Real Campus Outcomes
The Intellicampus Certified Partner Network
Presidents from schools around the world ask us to help them design and deploy future-ready strategy. A big part of that strategy includes technology. Historically, ERP and SIS dominated the technology conversations and budgets. But that’s changing now. The focus of smart leaders is shifting away from ERP/SIS investments to those that can provide real transformation.
Does your technology provide real, measurable transformation? If so, we want to learn more, and consider if it fits in our growing network of partner brands.
How it Works
Beyond Academics created Intellicampus to provide decision makers in higher ed with a capabilities “wish list” to select from. These capabilities range from mobile app way-pointing and smart classrooms, to digital wallets, and generative ai-powered assistants. As leaders pick off capabilities they want their campus to have, we invite the matching Intellicampus Certified Partners in to the discussion.
Being part of the Intellicampus Certified Partner Network often means you bypass your competition and get walked right into the President’s office as the preferred solution hand-selected by us to fit the exact strategy being deployed. That’s a significant market advantage.
To institution leaders, knowing you are an Intellicampus Certified Partner means your company has already been vetted to meet key criteria we know they are looking for.

FAQs
What due diligence do you conduct?
We evaluate your product. We evaluate your sales team. We evaluate your marketing materials. We spend time with your executive team. We go through a product demo to see how your messaging aligns to what decision-makers are actually looking for. We understand your pricing and business model to ensure it is optimized for market.
Is there a cost to be a Certified Partner?
There is no upfront cost. However, you will have opportunities to invest in shared marketing campaigns and lead generation programs if you find them interesting. As an example, if we are all attending a major industry event, we may share resources to host an Intellicampus reception for clients. You may also opt to replace your current design firm with the elite creatives at HERO agency - who know higher education buyers inside and out.
What’s an example of two IC Partners teaming up to “innovate” together?
At one school that Beyond Academics was engaged to drive strategy, we invited two ICs in to solve two very different problems that the SIS was not delivering on. These two nimble technologies bolted on and gave students and staff a much better experience. That deployment went so well that these two ICs have decided to team up and sell that combined offering to multiple schools. The find that selling the combined solution give each of them a significant market advantage over selling against their direct competitors in an apples-to-apples bid situation. Even though they could have met each other at an industry event and considered the idea of teaming up, it took Intellicampus and Beyond Academics installing them in a use case together that they likely would not have conceptualized on their own. That’s the win-win-win of this example.
Does Intellicampus Invest In IC Partners?
Typically no. However, if your company is early stage, consider the Intellicampus Accelerator instead.
We are already a preferred partner of a major ERP. Is that a conflict?
We actually prefer companies that are on a major ERP’s preferred vendor list. It means you’ve already jumped through the hoops of understanding their technology and integrating with it. Chances are, you’re in a very large ocean of vendors there. Becoming an Intellicampus Certified Partner puts in an even better position with decision-makers with the dual endorsement.
