Bringing Together Thesis Elements + 3D Technologies: What This Means for Our Clients

Written by The Elements Team | Jul 20, 2026 2:45:00 PM

If you’ve worked with Thesis over the past several years, chances are you’ve also worked with members of the 3D Technologies team. From implementation planning and data migration, to training and go-live support, our teams have partnered closely to help higher education institutions transition to Thesis Elements as their SIS. And to our clients, it has often felt like one team already.

Now, it officially is.

As part of our continued commitment in delivering the best possible experience for our clients, Thesis Elements has acquired 3D Technologies, bringing implementation services fully in-house.

We wanted to take a moment to share what this means for you and answer some of the questions you may have.

Why are we making this change?

Simply put, because it allows us to serve you even better.

Our partnership with 3D Technologies has been built over years of successful implementation and support of Elements and CAMS and we share a deep commitment to our clients’ success. We’ve learned alongside one another, solved challenges together, and celebrated go-live milestones with institutions across higher education.

Bringing our teams together under one organization creates a more connected experience for our clients and positions us to continue accelerating the future of Thesis Elements.

What does this mean if I’m already a client?

For most clients, very little will change day to day. You’ll continue working with the people you know and trust. Your current projects, timelines, and points of contact will remain the same.

What will change is happening behind the scenes. Our implementation consultants, product teams, customer success manager, training, and support staff will now operate as one organization with shared priorities, processes, and goals. That means even closer collaboration and fast communication across every stage of your journey with Thesis Elements and CAMS.

What does this mean for institutions preparing to implement Thesis Elements?

Future Elements SIS institutions will benefit from an even more streamlined implementation experience. Instead of coordinating across partner organizations, every phase of your implementation will now be managed by a single, unified team. From discovery through go-live and beyond, you’ll have one organization fully invested in your success.

That means more seamless communication, stronger alignment between implementation and product teams, faster feedback loop when new ideas or enhancements are identified, and a consistent experience from sales through long-term support.

Will my implementation team change?

No. One of the biggest strengths of this transition is that the talented professionals you’ve worked with are staying exactly where they belong: helping institutions succeed. The difference is that they’re now part of the Thesis organization, allowing us to collaborate even more effectively and continue investing in their expertise. Your project remains on track with the resources you have already been collaborating with.

Looking Ahead

Technology is only one part of a successful Student Information System implementation. The people behind the technology matter just as much. By bringing implementation, product development, customer success, and support together under one roof, we’re creating stronger connections across every part of the client experience.

This acquisition represents more than organizational growth. It’s another step in our long-term commitment to you. We’ve always believed that your institution deserves more than just software. You deserve a partner who understands your goals, listens to your challenges, and is invested in your continued success long as you go-live.

That commitment isn’t changing. It’s simply getting stronger.

Thank you for trusting us to be part of your institution’s journey. We’re excited for what’s ahead and look forward to continuing to support you as one unified team.
