Get to know us

After decades building software to support campus operations, Constituo’s founders recognized higher education is unlike any other industry. Specialized platforms and disconnected systems create real barriers to efficiency and growth.

Our Perspective

We consistently saw teams struggle with applications that couldn’t reliably share information. Behind the scenes, fragile spaghetti code kept systems barely running—until it didn’t.Find how our solutions assist financial aid teams to support families in bridging hopes into realities for prosepctive students.

Our Approach

As problem solvers and software engineers, we knew there was a better way. Drawing on our success in higher ed content solutions, we turned to cloud-based technologies to help campus teams work smarter and faster.

Our Focus

Since 2016, we’ve helped hundreds of colleges and universities streamline operations. From IT to Admissions to Finance, we partner with teams to improve processes with accuracy, speed, and consistency.

Our DNA

Unlike complex tools built for other industries, Constituo Integration and Constituo Content are built 100% to support higher education. It’s in our DNA—and it drives our commitment to grow with your campus.
