Custom Software for Universities & Higher Education

Custom applications for university departments and education organizations that cut data entry mistakes and turn reporting into a push of a button.

Shelves filled with books in a library

University departments manage large amounts of information, often with tools that weren't designed for the job. The result is data entry mistakes, reports that take days to assemble, and staff time spent making sense of spreadsheets instead of supporting students and faculty.

J Street Technology has built custom software since 1994 for more than 600 clients, including university faculty and education technology companies. We take the time to learn how each department works, then build applications that save time and money.

Our work in higher education

We don't just help businesses — some of our most meaningful projects have been in university education. We have a soft spot for working with educators and consistently provide the expertise they need to facilitate software improvements.

We're passionate about saving people time and money and eliminating the headaches of making sense of large amounts of information, and in every project we strive to learn everything we can about how to make our clients succeed. Our partners in higher education — including faculty at the University of Colorado — appreciate that.

Education technology: MasterTrack

For MasterTrack, a start-up educational technology company, we provided consulting CTO services, set up their internal communication and file systems, helped them adopt Office 365 and Salesforce, and tested the latest version of their MasterTrack software.

What we build for higher education

  • Department applications. Desktop and web applications that replace error-prone spreadsheets and forms.
  • One-click reporting. Reports and Power BI dashboards that are ready when you need them.
  • Connecting systems. Integrations that bring data together across the packages your department already uses.
  • Upgrading older databases. Moving aging Access databases onto SQL Server.
  • Technology guidance. Consulting CTO services and help with tools like Microsoft 365.

How much does a custom application for a university department cost?

It depends on scope. As a rough guide, small new applications typically fall between $20,000 and $50,000, medium applications between $50,000 and $100,000, and larger systems above that. We'll give you a realistic estimate after a free consultation.
