Key Challenges Higher Education Teams Face
Why is student engagement inconsistent across the lifecycle?
When admissions, student services, advising, and advancement operate in different systems, communication becomes fragmented and hard to track.
How can institutions personalize outreach at scale without adding more staff?
Manual processes, outdated templates, and disparate databases slow down both recruitment and student communication.
Why do data discrepancies cause issues across departments?
Enrollment CRM, SIS, advising tools, and marketing systems often hold conflicting records — making segmentation and reporting unreliable.
What prevents institutions from understanding the full engagement journey?
When email, events, advising interactions, and academic milestones live in separate tools, measuring impact becomes nearly mpossible.
