Why OpenRegistry?

  • "Off the shelf" solutions usually end up requiring significant customizations and integration work and/or solve only a portion of an institution's needs
  • Lots of institutions still rolling their own
  • Combined institutional efforts better leverage scant resources and allow for learning from others' experience (eg: Sakai, uPortal, CAS, Shibboleth, Kuali)
  • OpenRegistry is tailored to the needs of higher ed
