Below are answers to the most frequently asked technical questions from institutions seeking to purchase Terra Dotta software. Detailed information on any of these topics is available upon request.
Following an exhaustive audit of our hosting services at our U.S. data center in Louisville, KY, we are pleased to announce that Terra Dotta is PCI certified. PCI DSS v3.0 is the latest security standard published by the Payment Card Industry for service providers and others who interact with online payment processes. For more on what PCI DSS certification means for Terra Dotta and its clients, click here.
Many institutions using Terra Dotta software integrate their site with the various information systems on campus, such as any Student Information System, Human Resources Directory, or Secure Campus Login System, from major names like Banner, PeopleSoft, and Datatel to homegrown systems. Many interface options are available, including LDAP, CAS, Shibboleth, webservices and any other systems. Integrating with campus systems allows applicants to login to Terra Dotta software using their campus login credentials and pull the desired student information into the software to ensure that it’s accurate and complete.
When implementing a new data system, it is important for offices to keep historical records intact. Terra Dotta clients can import this type of data into Terra Dotta software through a user-friendly data import tool.
Terra Dotta software delivers information through both public and private interfaces. Database security and FERPA/HIPAA are crucial considerations in our development process and user-permissions system. Terra Dotta software security is thoroughly tested internally by Terra Dotta engineers and externally by WhiteHat Security.
