  • Once registered for a course, registrants access their course(s) via a Single Sign-on application using their iMIS credentials.
  • Upon completion of the course, Blue Sky eLearn will write back completion data to iMIS including the credit hours and type (where applicable).  This data can then be used for reporting purposes or to create CEU records per the organization's needs.

Easy Does It: Integration Made Simple

The ATS methodology for bridges uses the iMIS API's to achieve the results you expect from a world-class integration. We work closely with third-party partners to use their API's in the most efficient manner. We pride ourselves on building integrations that work on many versions of iMIS. This means that when you upgrade iMIS the bridges will continue to work without having to be rewritten.

The results of this methodology include:

  • Compatibility with all versions of iMIS (unless otherwise noted) using the appropriate iMIS API's that work best with your version of iMIS.
  • The flexibility of on-premise or hosted models for the software.
  • Easy set-up and one-time configuration including installation services from ATS.
