At my school we have two systems: 1) peoplesoft (PS) which we use to manage accounting and class enrollments 2) the learning management system (LMS)
The LMS gets enrollments from PS. This is because enrollments must be tied to accounting. There are rules on how students are billed, drop dates with full refunds, drop dates with partial refund, etc. Cloudcourse seems to do well that part that we now handle with PS but it is not an LMS and it not integrated with any accounting software. Enrollments must also have full revision history and I do not think cloudcourse does that. If a student changes its status, it must be possible to see what was its status at any moment in time.
