    Challenge

    Colorado School of Mines’ new Private Pre-Shared Keys (PPSK) wireless network required accurate daily housing data to ensure students received the right Wi-Fi access. Without automation, staff would have needed to update and manage access manually every morning—a process too fragile and time-intensive to support a modern network.

    Solution

    • Operational Burden – Before automation, enabling PPSKs would have required Mines to maintain an error-prone, daily workflow.

    • Automated PPSK Pipeline – Each night, Edify automatically pulls in housing data, transforms it, and updates PPSK access—eliminating the need for daily staff involvement.

    • Instant, Reliable Access – Because the data refreshes nightly, new residents get instant Wi-Fi access with no delays or ticket issues.

    Impact

    • Technology Modernization & Reliability – Nightly automation keeps PPSK access accurate and up to date. This automation improves wireless network reliability and reduces access-related support tickets.

    • Improved Student Experience – With automated Wi-Fi credential updates, Mines students can fully participate in digital coursework, campus systems, and daily online life from the moment they arrive, reducing frustration and improving their transition to campus.

Edify grabs the StarRez [housing] data every day… machines do this better and more reliably than humans… nobody has to touch anything now that we have that set.
