FAQ

Education Abroad CRM questions, answered

What is an Education Abroad CRM?
An Education Abroad CRM is software for global engagement offices to manage outbound mobility, faculty-led programs, exchanges and partner agreements end-to-end. Hanover combines digital applications, eSignatures, payments, partner MOU tracking, student communications and live dashboards in one mobile-first platform, replacing the patchwork of legacy systems, spreadsheets and shared drives most offices use today.
How does Hanover compare to Terra Dotta, ViaTRM and Sunapsis?
Terra Dotta, ViaTRM and Sunapsis are decade-plus-old systems built around rigid workflows and require IT projects to change. Hanover is mobile-first, configurable without code, and goes live within a single semester. Pricing is modular, the roadmap includes AI-assisted advising and reporting, and offices can shape the platform around their workflows instead of conforming to a vendor's structure.
How long does it take to implement Hanover at a university?
Hanover is designed to go live within a single semester. A typical fast-start implementation runs 8–12 weeks and covers data migration from your current system, configuration of application forms, payment integration, MOU and partner setup, and staff training. Multi-campus systems with deep SIS or finance integrations may run 14–20 weeks.
Does Hanover integrate with our SIS, payment and SSO systems?
Yes. Hanover offers SAML SSO, a RESTful API, custom data warehouse feeds, and Stripe, Mailchimp, QuickBooks, Xero, Microsoft 365, Google Workspace and Calendly connectors. Where institutions need direct SIS integration with systems like Banner or Workday Student, we connect via REST API where your IT team prioritises that integration. Onboarding includes mapping your existing identifiers and reconciliation rules into Hanover.

Is Hanover SOC 2 attested for student data?
Hanover is SOC 2 Type II attested and GDPR compliant, with continuous controls monitoring, encryption at rest and in transit, role-based access and immutable audit logs on every privileged action. Data residency and sub-processor information are documented in the Trust Center at /security for institutional risk and compliance reviews.
