What We Help Institutions Do

Connect, automate, and modernize

SIS Integration

Connect Jenzabar, Ellucian, and other student information systems to the tools around them — so data flows instead of being re-keyed by hand.

CRM for Enrollment & Engagement

Implement and govern CRM platforms like HubSpot and Salesforce across Admissions, Advancement, and Student Affairs.

Process Automation

Eliminate the manual reconciliation, status updates, reporting, and routine communications that quietly drain staff time.

AI Assistants & Agents

Deploy AI for common student and staff questions, document summarization, and drafting — always with humans in the loop.

Governance & Compliance

FERPA/HIPAA-conscious, audit-ready implementations with access controls and clear policies built in from day one.

Reporting & Insight

Unified dashboards so leadership can finally see across departments instead of chasing siloed spreadsheets.

Why MKAI

A partner who actually knows your systems

Most AI vendors understand models but not the realities of a student information system. Most higher-ed integrators treat AI as a buzzword. This work needs both. MKAI is led by a former higher-education IT Project Manager who delivered HIPAA-compliant CRM integrations and digital transformation across Student Affairs and the Business Office — hands-on with Jenzabar, Ellucian, and HubSpot — and pairs that with real AI and automation engineering.
