We feel your pain

Fragmented data, limited insights

Without the right tools, continuous improvement can be disconnected and slow-moving. The amount of effort required for data collection and analysis can hinder provosts and institutional leaders from making the progress they’re capable of.
Provost

Outdated tools lead to errors

When critical data is stored on paper or static spreadsheets, it is easy for the numbers to get disrupted. Our suite provides a single source of truth where entire teams can collaborate and reference the same up-to-date data set.
Provost

Burnout and turnover

Increasing workloads across higher ed puts a strain on all roles. An intuitive system that centralizes access and activity, removes duplicative work, breaks down data silos, streamlines reporting and clarifies paths to success is key to boosting morale.
Provost

Lack of visibility

Capturing a complete picture of your institution is key for advocacy, strategizing, and prioritization. Manual updates and disconnected tools limit that visibility. Use a tool with robust integrations for a holistic view of performance.
Provost

Enrollment challenges

Boosting enrollment, retaining existing students, and producing successful alumni are critical for a healthy institution. Ensure student success and secure funding through detailed tracking of student performance.
Provost

Resource allocation

Despite tight budgets, provosts and academic leaders like you must still meet the needs of academic programs. A tool that surfaces key insights automatically and engages the right people in conversations can help maximize your impact.
Provost

Connecting the dots

Without a clear view of the student, faculty activity reporting, and institutional effectiveness, it can be nearly impossible to tell the full story of your institution. Connecting these dots is essential for measuring your impact.
Provost

Accreditation challenges

Without the right solutions, meeting stringent, evolving accreditation standards can strain your staff and put your institutions at risk of non-compliance. Build better processes to keep you and your team accountable.
