OpenEMIS Registrations links directly to OpenEMIS Core. The online form works in a browser or on a mobile device with an internet connection; the datasheet lists Internet Explorer, Chrome, Firefox and Safari. OpenEMIS can be installed on an organisation’s own IT infrastructure or accessed through dedicated secure hosted workspaces. The product is described as free open source software with no licensing fees; its Free open source software plan is free. Users receive a free knowledge base and product documentation. OpenEMIS says it uses industry-standard security protocols, follows OWASP recommendations and is regularly audited against common web attacks.

WebAdMIT is an admissions management platform for recruiting, evaluating, admitting, and enrolling students. Its centralized applicant database supports searching, filtering, sorting, and tracking progress. Staff can assign applications to reviewers or committees, add comments, review supporting documents, and score applications. Email templates, correspondence tracking, and automated notifications, reminders, and updates support applicant communication. Reporting and analysis tools help monitor application trends and recruitment strategies. WebAdMIT integrates with participating Liaison Centralized Application Service data, and its API can transfer applicant data to institutional SIS or ERP systems such as Slate and Banner. Export options include customized files, bulk PDF downloads, reports, and scheduled SFTP delivery to an SIS. It works in current Chrome, Firefox, Safari, and Edge browsers; Internet Explorer is no longer supported. Smartphone and tablet access is possible in a compatible browser, though Liaison recommends a computer. Pricing is on request; a complimentary plan is listed for programs participating in a Liaison Centralized Application Service.
