Why K16

Master the data layer.

Higher ed IT leaders run the systems and control the data layer underneath them. Every strategic initiative on campus eventually depends on it. Siloed or hard-to-reach data undercuts that control. Change takes longer, governance gets harder to enforce, and AI initiatives wait on inputs nobody can vouch for.

K16 Solutions closes the gap between holding the data and being able to use it. The Scaffold Platform unifies and governs data across core systems, creating a trusted, AI-ready foundation for reporting, compliance, and answers you can produce on request.

Clarity: One governed view across every system, campus, and constituency.
Compliance: Retention, accessibility, and audit readiness built into the archive.
AI-readiness: Clean, connected data that analytics and AI can actually trust.

Partnering with K16 Solutions will allow us to produce one easily pooled report, alleviate operational constraints by removing the need for manual manipulation, and improve our ability to communicate effectively with our donors.

Angela Melero

Assistant Vice President of Technology Architecture, University of the Pacific

“We had data scattered across multiple systems, and bringing it all together was essential. With limited resources, DataX stood out as the right solution—automating our pipelines and unifying data without requiring additional headcount.”

Erika Graves

Executive Director, Meharry Medical College

“From a finance perspective, this work significantly improves our ability to access timely and reliable information. Moving from manual reporting processes to automated, right-time financial reporting creates greater transparency, strengthens accountability, and allows leadership to make more informed decisions with confidence.”

Bill Graves

Vice President for Business Affairs, University of Louisiana Monroe

“When Canvas went down, we quickly realized the value of having independent access to our data through DataX. We weren’t relying solely on standard APIs or limited reporting outputs; we had real visibility into the actual course and student-level data we needed.”

Sean Hauze

Chief Operating Officer of IT, San Diego State University
