About the Relationship
SurfWisely had two pilots coming up and needed a ClassLink integration to make them successful. That’s when SurfWisely’s Myron Grover began weighing the costs of one integration vs many. Interested to hear more about Edlink’s solution, Myron responded to a tailored cold email from Edlink's Nick La Riza and then set up a meeting to talk.
During their conversation, Myron explained SurfWisely’s integration needs with their pilots, requiring single sign-on (SSO), rostering, and potentially grade passback by connecting to a learning management system (LMS). It became clear that developing these integrations independently would be both expensive and time-consuming. SurfWisely could also take this opportunity to future-proof their integrations and make them easy to manage at scale and for long-term maintenance. After learning more, Myron could see how Edlink as an integration partner could help SurfWisely provide new functionality efficiently.
With one integration to Edlink, SurfWisely can connect to over 25 popular LMS, Student Information Systems (SIS), and Identity and Access Management providers (e.g., Google Classroom, Aeries, and ClassLink). Edlink’s integrations can provide integrated functionality like SSO, rostering, content sync, and grade passback while centralizing integrations for management in the Edlink Dashboard. With Edlink as their integration partner, SurfWisely can save hundreds of hours and thousands of dollars by not developing integrations one by one.
When asked what was the deciding factor for choosing Edlink over anything else, SurfWisely said:
“It was the one-to-many integrations and the white glove service.”
