How student information systems and data analytics help you exceed the expectations of empowered students
Higher education institutions are under increasing pressure to transform. Students have come to expect better value for money, intuitive student apps and full support throughout their journey.
At the same time, study habits are changing and the student population is becoming more diverse. With increased competition due to globalization and alternative learning models, universities and higher education institutions need to look at new ways to increase student engagement and improve student retention.
Flexible student information systems (SIS) are the key to effective student life cycle management (SLcM) – from recruitment and admissions to student administration and support, continuing beyond graduation. We can draw upon our experience and expertise in higher education to develop tailored solutions to meet your needs. With it.education, our solution powered by SAP Student Lifecycle Management, you can differentiate your organization in a highly competitive market.
The key to becoming a smart university or higher education institution is to integrate and manage the entire student life cycle – from prospect to alumnus. By communicating, collaborating, and supporting students throughout their journey, you can improve student satisfaction and strengthen student success.
Data-driven universities and higher education institutions will gain an edge on the competition. Students and administration demand easy access to real-time information, while analytics enable universities to predict outcomes, personalize learning programs, and provide proactive support.
Effective higher education marketing strategies should treat each and every student, both current and prospective, as an individual. This means segmenting students and analyzing their past, present, and future actions to make personalized recommendations and offers in real time.
With a single platform for commerce, universities and higher education institutions can reach students through all channels and promote their offerings. For example, online shops can enable students and prospects to browse products and services on any device, so they can purchase branded merchandise or course materials at any time.
As more and more millennials enter the workforce, staff and university faculties are becoming more demanding. To increase internal efficiency, universities need to provide all employees, from academic staff to administration, with access to advanced technology and mobile self-service tools.
