Powerful Connections with
Recruits, Students and Alumni
When fully optimized, your institution’s customer relationship management (CRM) system is an incredibly powerful tool. Our CRM consulting can grow enrollment, improve retention, support fundraising and advancement and foster productive relationships with constituents both on and off campus. Even better, it can be a treasure trove of data that powers next-generation analytics to drive success at every stage of the student lifecycle – from applicant to alumnus.
CRM Consulting Services
A single CRM solution can manage and unify your institution’s entire list of contacts. When optimizing your CRM, we can help make it work in conjunction with other departments to enhance communication even further. You can even use stored data within your system to customize a specific user’s experience the next time they visit your institution’s website.
Our experienced CRM for higher education consultants delivers these results for institutions large, small, public and private. They understand that effective management of student and alumni relationships is essential to the mission. As such, they provide support for a wide range of the most popular CRM software systems in higher education today, including Salesforce, Microsoft Dynamics, Technolution’s Slate and specialized systems such as Ellucian’s suite of CRM Recruit, CRM Advise and CRM Advance.
