When your network spans 146 schools and 77,000 students, keeping systems talking to each other is no small feat. For Brisbane Catholic Education (BCE), integration isn’t just about connecting software, it’s about connecting people, processes, and purpose - securely.
What began as a behind-the-scenes project to link BCE’s ERP (SuccessFactors), payroll, LMS, and other enterprise systems has evolved into a trusted, ongoing partnership. Integral has gone on to deliver further integration projects, designing the solution and creating re-usable patterns for BCE’s enterprise grade integrations, ensuring data flows where it should, when it should, securely, accurately, and without fuss.
A standout achievement in 2025 was the integration of DoneSafe, BCE’s new student risk and compliance platform. Think of it as a digital safety net: replacing the old RCS system, providing real-time visibility of student health and incident data, and giving teachers and student safety or administration officers confidence to act fast when it matters most. Our team built a school-specific security model to ensure only the right people see the right information, a perfect blend of accessibility and accountability.
The result? Safer schools, sharper data, and simpler workflows. Staff now spend less time chasing information and more time focused on what really counts, supporting students.
BCE also joined Integral’s Managed Service program in late 2025, engaging our team to support its Azure-based integration and data warehouse platforms. This step transforms integration from a project into a partnership, laying the groundwork for a stable, scalable, and data-driven future.
Looking ahead, new integrations around student enrolments are already underway. From workflow design to security architecture, our focus remains the same: translating complex needs into clean, reliable solutions that make BCE’s digital ecosystem hum.
Powered by Azure Function Apps, Azure Service Bus, Azure API Management, and SQL Server, this work shows how thoughtful integration can do more than connect systems, it can connect an entire education community.
Because when the data flows, so does everything else.
