FAQ
Do you have questions about digitalization in Education and Research?
In our FAQ you will find concise answers to key topics relating to IT strategies, system integration and digital processes in schools and research institutions.
Still have questions?
Many educational institutions still operate outdated systems that are not designed for scalability or digital collaboration. Modernisation involves migrating to web-based platforms, integrating administrative software and learning management systems (e.g. LMS), and implementing security in line with current data protection standards.
The key is a future-proof, interoperable IT architecture that digitally supports teaching, examinations, and administration.
Research institutions must protect personal data, third-party funded projects, and scientific results with particular care. In addition to Swiss DPA & GDPR compliance, they are often subject to further requirements from funding bodies.
A secure role- and rights-based access model, encrypted data transmission, and tamper-proof logging are essential for an IT security strategy that meets regulatory standards in the research environment.
Many organisations use isolated applications for teaching, administration, and examinations. Modern interface concepts (API integration), middleware solutions, and structured data migration enable ERP systems, examination platforms, and content management systems to be connected efficiently — ensuring seamless processes and improved data quality.
A centralized user management system also simplifies identity management.
Yes, Lehrmittelverlag St. Gallen now operates a central platform for task management in schools. The solution was implemented as a web-based system with role-based access, multilingual capability, and PDF export.
Its modular design allows continuous expansion — ideal for growing requirements and digital learning processes. This creates a scalable, future-ready infrastructure for schools.
