DEVELOPMENT AND RESEARCH OF METHODS FOR INTEGRATING THE ID PLATFORM WITH THE PLATONUS EDUCATIONAL SYSTEM TO IMPROVE THE EFFICIENCY OF ACADEMIC PROCESS MANAGEMENT (CASE STUDY OF YESSENOV UNIVERSITY)

Abstract

The article presents the results of a study on methods for integrating an ID platform with the Platonus educational system to improve the efficiency of academic process management at Yessenov University. The study aims to create a unified digital environment that ensures automated synchronization of user data, centralized authentication, reduction of information duplication, and increased transparency of processes. The key development tasks considered include creating a secure data exchange mechanism, implementing a stable ETL process, forming a unified data model, introducing Single Sign-On (SSO) technology, and building a RESTful API for interaction with external services.

The study also includes an analysis of the existing digital infrastructure of the university and identifies the main problems of fragmented information systems, including heterogeneous data formats, repeated storage of user information, and the need for multiple authentications across different services. Particular attention is given to issues of information security, protection of personal data, and ensuring the stability of data exchange between systems. Modern approaches to the integration of educational platforms used in universities during the period 2020–2025 are also examined, including the use of microservice architecture, centralized identity services, and real-time data synchronization mechanisms.

The practical significance of the research lies in the development of an architectural model that ensures reliable and scalable integration of the Platonus system with the ID platform. The proposed solution makes it possible to optimize authorization processes, improve the accuracy and relevance of academic data, reduce the processing time of user requests, and decrease the administrative workload on university staff. In addition, the paper presents a comparative analysis of different integration approaches, their advantages and limitations, and provides methodological recommendations for implementing and further scaling the developed system within the university’s digital ecosystem.
