The Connect Consortium
community-driven software development
Our community is our greatest strength.
We continually develop our software solution to meet the evolving needs of higher ed institutions. Our client partners are vital in this venture.
We launched The Connect Consortium in 2022 to enable our client colleges to actively participate in our software development roadmap.
The Connect Consortium (TCC) is comprised of our partner institutions who collaborate with each other and the eLumen product team to identify future strategic product improvements. eLumen is eager to learn from our partner campuses and excited for our partner campuses to be involved in the evolution of the application.
Working collaboratively with the eLumen team, The Connect Consortium will engage in purposeful product development, including prioritization of the strategic direction of future improvements. eLumen is excited to offer our partner campuses the opportunity to identify and vote on feature improvements that they find most valuable to the Consortium community.

Frequently asked questions
-
How does TCC work?
Working group members meet with the eLumen team to identify potential features and software improvements to ensure that the platform continues to meet the evolving needs of higher ed institutions.
In collaboration with the eLumen team, the features and improvements are categorized into feature enhancement sets.
Each of our client institutions has an assigned voting delegate (typically a Chief Information Officer) who is responsible for prioritizing the sets on behalf of their community.
The voting delegate votes by rank ordering the feature sets based on their institution's preferred prioritization. -
