# Integrating your ecosystem

DegreeSight is able to integrate with your School Information System (SIS), Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP), Customer Relationship Management (CRM), or other back-end systems such as an Equivalency Management System (EMS). This page will provide a generic overview of the integration capabilities of DegreeSight and guide you through how to set up your specific instance and ensure data is flowing across the respective systems as desired..

### DegreeSight Integration Capabilities

DegreeSight can integrate with your SIS or ERP, CRM, or EMS in two directions:

* Inbound:   DegreeSight can ingesting catalog and equivalency data. This involves importing course catalogs and equivalency data from your SIS or EMS into DegreeSight, most often as a part of the initial onboarding process or by working with your IT team.
* Outbound:   DegreeSight can push student profiles, events, transcripts, and updated equivalencies downstream into your SIS or EMS. This involves exporting data from DegreeSight using our primary "Integrations" pages within the application, and can be configured during onboarding or updated at any time post launch.

### Workflow for Setting Up Integrations

Most integrations can be set up through the user interface (UI) in DegreeSight. The following steps can be followed to set up integrations:

1. Go to the Integrations tab in the DegreeSight UI. This can be found underneath your institution's logo on furthest right of the top nav bar.
   1. ![](/files/LgKlOudLy1mGJNBXS5wT)
2. Select the system you want to integrate with.
3. Follow the prompts to enter the required information.
4. Test the integration to ensure that it is working correctly.

### Specific Integrations

Specific integrations will be covered in detail in child pages of this knowledge base. These pages will provide step-by-step instructions for setting up integrations with your SIS or ERP, CRM, or EMS.

We hope this overview has provided you with a general understanding of DegreeSight's integration capabilities. If you have any questions or concerns about integrating DegreeSight with your system, please refer to the specific integration pages or contact our support team for assistance!

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://degreesight.gitbook.io/getting-started/setting-up-your-instance/integrating-your-ecosystem.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.
