LS2 Innovation — Microsoft Partner for higher education
As a Microsoft Partner, LS2 Innovation specializes in Microsoft 365 Education and Microsoft Teams for Education integration for colleges, universities, and CEGEPs in Canada, France, and Belgium.
Why a higher-ed-specialized Microsoft Partner?
Microsoft 365 Education is a rich environment: Microsoft Teams for Education, Outlook, OneDrive, SharePoint, Class Notebook (OneNote), Entra ID. Microsoft's education tooling — particularly School Data Sync (SDS) — is built primarily for K-12. When a college or university deploys Microsoft 365 Education, several operational gaps appear: limited integration with higher-ed SIS platforms (Jenzabar, PeopleSoft, Banner, Workday Student, Omnivox, Clara, COBA), incomplete handling of multi-section courses, manual archive workflows, and audit logging that doesn't satisfy Law 25 or GDPR auditors.
LS2 Innovation fills these gaps with two products dedicated to the Microsoft ecosystem: Teameo (SDS alternative for higher-ed) and Calendo (class calendar synchronization).
