GOAL: Enable proactive decision making throughout the student life cycle

Most colleges and universities today face a common challenge: how to attract and retain the right students - from enrollment through graduation and beyond. However, these institutions cannot aggregate and analyse the data needed to gain deeper insight into potential and current students, the quality of student experiences and external impacts on enrollment (such as changing demographics.) These kinds of insights enable institutions to optimise strategies, plans and outcomes in recruitment, retention and graduation - but they are not accessible.

To develop effective enrollment management strategies, institutions must have access to information from across multiple sources, the ability to easily share information across institutional boundaries, and the insight to uncover patterns and trends that enable proactive decision-making throughout the student life cycle.

Forward-looking universities and colleges are implementing data integration, reporting and analytic solutions that enable effective strategic enrollment management (SEM). Each technology plays a vital role in providing institutional decision makers with the insights needed to attract the right students, maximise retention and sustain strong relationships through graduation and beyond.
