Because Bellevue University is a leader in adult learning, its programs have attracted a growing number of students in the military. Course registrations for military personnel were growing at a rapid pace, and Bellevue University needed to simplify and automate its interactions with the United States Army. This included all aspects of the registration process, such as enrollment, course selections, tuition fees, and graduation status.

The United States Army has a system called GoArmyEd that is the centralized web portal its personnel use to register for college courses. However, the registration process between Bellevue University and the Army was manual and cumbersome. Since this area of Bellevue University's business was growing, it recognized the need to build an interface between its systems and GoArmyEd.
