Custom Software Development
Custom Software Development for Higher Education
Need software that doesn’t exist yet? FlightPath Academics designs and develops secure web applications, system integrations, and custom software solutions built specifically for colleges and universities.
Built for higher education
Your software partner for campus innovation
With more than 20 years of software development experience in higher education, FlightPath Academics understands the unique operational challenges colleges and universities face. We understand academic policies, student information systems, faculty workflows, and the technology that keeps campuses running.
Every institution has unique processes that off-the-shelf software can’t always support. Whether you’re replacing an aging application, connecting existing systems, or building something entirely new, we can help.
FlightPath Academics is also the company behind FlightPath, Jetstream CRM, and Faculty Atlas. The experience we’ve gained designing, building, and supporting those platforms benefits every custom project we undertake.
From small departmental applications to institution-wide systems, we build secure, maintainable software designed to serve your institution for years to come.
- Custom web applications built specifically for your institution
- Modern replacements for aging legacy systems
- Hosting, maintenance, and ongoing support available
