SIS migrationSITS to Innealla

Moving from SITS to Innealla.

Tribal SITS:Vision runs modular programmes, occurrences and assessments for universities across the UK and Ireland. If that depth now costs you specialist staff you cannot hire, Innealla is the lighter cloud SIS: fixed-price SITS migration, parallel run, and Moodle wired without StuTalk as a single point of failure.

What you get

Your SITS data, imported and reconciled, in a student information system built for Irish colleges.

One student record from application to transcript, a fixed-price migration that imports your SITS data, and a supplier you can actually talk to. Your current system stays the source of truth until cutover, and we prove the numbers before anyone switches off the old login.

Why colleges look at a move

Why colleges look at a move.

Tribal SITS:Vision runs modular programmes, occurrences and assessments for universities across the UK and Ireland. The depth is real; so is the cost of staying on that depth when your college is smaller than the product assumes.

  • 01

    Renewal pressure

    A SITS renewal or re-implementation quote that no longer matches the size of your registry team.

  • 02

    Complexity

    Occurrences, diets and assessment patterns that only a handful of staff can configure safely.

  • 03

    Reporting

    Statutory and exam-board extracts that still need a specialist rather than a saved view.

  • 04

    Integration

    StuTalk and custom interfaces that are hard to change when Moodle or CRM moves on.

Is Innealla the right move?

Who it suits, and when it may not.

It is not the right move for every SITS estate, and we will say so at discovery.

It usually suits

Colleges that need modular programmes and assessment depth without a full university SITS estate.

Colleges that want a system built for how they work, rather than adapted to it, with Moodle and CRM connected from day one.

  • Independent and professional colleges approaching a Tribal renewal
  • Institutions that use a fraction of SITS modules but pay for the full stack
  • Teams that want StuTalk-style exchanges replaced with documented Integration Hub connectors
  • Registries that want exam boards and awards without a specialist-only configuration layer
When it may not

We would rather tell you at discovery than at cutover.

It is not the right move for everyone, and we will say so at discovery. Complex multi-campus estates take longer than the usual two months, and discovery sets that date before you commit.

If your data cannot move cleanly, the grading shows it table by table, with a clear list of what will migrate cleanly and what needs a decision.

How the move works

A known shape of project, not a leap into the dark.

Most SITS moves we run are live in under two months, including a parallel run. We use the APIs and exports your Tribal estate already supports; your exam boards set the calendar.

12 weeks

Discovery

We take a full SITS export, grade every table from A to G, and give you a fixed price for the migration and a go-live date.

  • Export assessment
  • Data graded A to G, table by table
  • Clear list of what migrates cleanly and what needs a decision
  • Fixed price and go-live window before you commit
2Days

AI-assisted migration

Students, programmes, modules, enrolments, results and fees mapped and cleansed in days.

  • Every transformation logged
  • Your data office can audit each step
  • Historic records and transcripts kept
3Agreed period

Parallel run

Innealla and your current system side by side, with reconciliation reports your registry and finance teams can check.

  • Reconciliation on students, enrolments and fees
  • Rollback plan written before the parallel run starts
  • Staff trained as part of set-up
4Go-live

Cutover

Timed to your academic calendar, usually between intakes, with a rollback plan agreed in writing.

  • Moodle, CRM, finance and identity reconnected on day one
  • Old login switched off only once the numbers match

Your current system stays the source of truth until cutover. We prove the numbers before anyone switches off the old login, and if something does not match, the written rollback plan says exactly what happens next.

What carries over

Your history comes with you.

Programmes, occurrences, assessments and results are graded table by table at discovery so exam boards know what will land cleanly in Innealla.

StudentsApplicantsProgrammesModulesEnrolmentsResultsAwardsFee history

Historic records and transcripts

Historic enrolments, results and awards come across, so transcripts can be produced from Innealla for past students.

Documents

Where the old system holds documents, we migrate them to the student’s record or keep a read-only archive, whichever you prefer.

Integrations rebuilt within the fixed price

Our Moodle plugin, the Salesforce managed app or Zoho connector, and GL and payment exports to your finance system are rebuilt on the Integration Hub as part of the fixed price. Anything bespoke is scoped at discovery.

Pricing

A small college pays a small college’s price.

Innealla is a hosted subscription banded by student numbers. At discovery we put those figures beside your Tribal licence and support costs, so the comparison is on paper.

Moving from SITS

How the move works.

Discovery starts with a full extract of your SITS programmes, occurrences and assessments. It tells you how clean that data is and fixes the price before you commit to anything.

  • 01Two-week discovery: a full extract of your SITS programmes, occurrences and assessments, every table graded from A to G, a fixed price and a go-live date
  • 02AI-assisted migration of students, applicants, programmes, modules, enrolments, results, awards and fee history, with every transformation logged
  • 03Parallel run with reconciliation reports on students, enrolments and fees before cutover
  • 04Cutover timed between intakes, with a written rollback plan
  • 05Moodle, Salesforce or Zoho, finance and timetabling reconnected through the Integration Hub on day one
The AI brain

An AI brain, on your terms.

Innealla is built with AI running through it, not bolted on. Staff ask it questions and tell it to do things in plain English, and it works against the live student record within the permissions that person already has.

  • Early alerts on students at risk, drawn from attendance, grades and fees together
  • Runs on a model hosted by Inneall in Ireland, so your student data never leaves our platform and there is no per-token bill from a third party
  • Optionally bring your own OpenAI or Anthropic keys for the tasks or hours you choose, so you control the cost model
  • Every request and every action is logged against the person who made it
How we approach AI for colleges →
Integration Hub

Every connector reconnected, on day one.

Innealla owns the student record and the Integration Hub connects it to everything else a college runs. Enrolments, courses and CRM applications are reconnected as part of cutover, not as a later project. We build connectors for a living, so if one is missing we add it.

  • Moodle

    Our plugin provisions courses, cohorts and enrolments from the curriculum and keeps grades and announcements in step

  • Salesforce

    A managed app we built, so applications and cases flow into the student record without re-keying

  • Zoho

    The same, for colleges on Zoho CRM

  • Finance

    GL journal export to your accounts system, payment providers, sponsor billing

  • CAO, Microsoft 365, Google Workspace

    Plus email and SMS

  • Timetabling

    In the core; an existing Celcat export imports for cutover

FAQ

Questions about moving.

Something else? Talk to us about your system.

Can you import our SITS data?

Yes. Students, applicants, programmes, modules, enrolments, results, awards and fee history all map into Innealla, and the discovery grades each table before anything moves.

How long does a SITS to Innealla migration take?

Most colleges are live in under two months from the start of discovery, including a parallel run. The migration itself is AI-assisted and measured in days; the calendar is set by your intakes and your sign-off.

Will historic records and transcripts survive the move?

Yes. Historic enrolments, results and awards come across so transcripts for past students can be produced from Innealla. Documents are migrated to the student’s record or kept in a read-only archive, whichever you prefer.

We are a UK college. Does Innealla handle UK processes?

Yes. Innealla is built for colleges in Ireland and the UK: awarding-body and partner-university programme structures, progression and classification rules configured without code, and finance that handles instalment plans, sponsors and holds. Hosting is in AWS Ireland under a data processing agreement; talk to us about data residency requirements at discovery.

What happens to our existing integrations?

They are rebuilt on the Integration Hub as part of the fixed price: our Moodle plugin, the Salesforce managed app or Zoho connector, and GL and payment exports to your finance system. Anything bespoke is scoped at discovery.

What is the first step?

A fixed-price Innealla Discovery. You get a graded assessment of your data, a migration price and a go-live window before anything is committed.

Why colleges leave Tribal SITS

SITS:Vision is the UK (and Irish) university workhorse: modular programmes, occurrences, assessment diets, StuTalk and a specialist market around it. That depth is why big HEIs keep it. It is also why a smaller college ends up waiting on a scarce SITS analyst for every curriculum change.

  • Specialist SITS time is the bottleneck on every academic-year change
  • Licence and support sized for a full university student records estate
  • HESA, ILR or partner-university reporting bolted on with fragile extracts
  • Moodle and CRM integrations hanging off StuTalk jobs that only one person understands
  • You need the student and fee core, not the full SITS configuration surface
What Innealla does

How we take you off SITS

We map the SITS academic spine, programmes, modules, occurrences, enrolments, assessments and fee records, into Innealla. StuTalk or database extracts are graded in discovery before price is fixed.

  • Two-week discovery: SITS extract graded A to G, fixed price, go-live against your intakes
  • Occurrences and assessment structures mapped with transforms logged
  • Parallel run with reconciliation on students, enrolments and fees
  • Cutover between intakes; SITS kept read-only until sign-off
  • Moodle and CRM reconnected on the Integration Hub so StuTalk is not the single point of failure

Query the record without a SITS screen

After cutover, staff ask Innealla about students, occurrences and fees in plain English. You are not training another generation on SITS forms. How we run AI on college systems.

Is Innealla the right move off SITS?

Yes when SITS is more system than the college needs, or when specialist SITS capacity is the constraint. No when you need a full research-university SITS estate with a dedicated records team. Discovery says which.

  • Colleges where every curriculum change waits on a SITS specialist
  • UK or Irish private providers that inherited SITS with a university partnership
  • Estates that want Moodle and CRM wired without fragile StuTalk-only jobs
  • Groups that need one product across brands without a second SITS licence

After SITS: integrations without StuTalk as a bottleneck

Enrolments and grades should move to Moodle without waiting on the one person who knows the SITS jobs. That is what the Integration Hub is for.

See integrations

SITS migration questions

Can you import programmes, occurrences and assessments?
Yes. That academic spine is the heart of a SITS move. Discovery grades each area A to G and flags custom tables that need manual mapping.
Do you use StuTalk?
Where StuTalk or supported extracts exist we use them. Otherwise we take a controlled database extract. Either way the grading and parallel run are the same.
How long does a SITS to Innealla move take?
Most colleges are live in under two months from discovery when the data grades cleanly, including parallel run. Heavy custom assessment rules extend the calendar; discovery says so up front.
What replaces our SITS integrations?
Moodle, Salesforce or Zoho, finance and timetabling go through the Integration Hub in the fixed price. One-off SITS interfaces are scoped at discovery.
