Getting started

A supported path into everyday use.

  1. Tell us how you work

    Share the way your courses, people, payments and current systems fit together. We identify priorities, responsibilities and what may need to connect.

  2. Set up your organisation

    ISH configures the agreed settings and workflows. Migration and integrations are assessed and scoped separately where needed.

  3. Get your team comfortable

    We help prepare your people for their everyday work and complete agreed checks before use, then continue supporting the platform.

ISH operates, maintains and improves the shared cloud platform, with customer data stored in Australia.

Your organisation retains its own settings and workflows. We agree migration, integration and responsibility boundaries where they are needed.

University of Sydney, Sydney Short Courses

Customer example

Short-course delivery within a university environment.

Sydney Short Courses needed a course platform that could work within a complex university environment. ISH worked across the University’s teams to deliver onCourse with connections to its finance system and Adobe Experience Manager.

Practical questions

What short-course teams usually ask.

Where is customer data stored?

Customer data is stored in Australia, and ISH operates onCourse on AWS. Read security information.

What support is available?

Customers can use the published handbook and contact the ISH support team through the established support channels. See support options.

How does pricing work?

Subscription pricing, included usage and setup terms are set out on the pricing page. Professional services outside the included setup are scoped separately. See pricing and terms.

Can existing information be migrated?

Migration depends on the information, its condition and the agreed scope. We assess the work and responsibilities before it begins. Review getting-started considerations.

Can onCourse connect with our other systems?

Supported connectors and APIs provide a foundation. System ownership, interfaces and exception handling are agreed for each implementation. Explore integration considerations.
