In today’s dynamic higher education landscape, institutions need robust Student Information Systems (SIS) to effectively manage student data, streamline administrative processes, facilitate enrollment, track academic processes, and enhance student experiences. Salesforce offers powerful solutions tailored to the unique needs of higher education professionals, enabling institutions to transform any SIS and drive student success.
With Salesforce, institutions can leverage advanced analytics, automation tools, and personalized engagement strategies to enhance student experiences and improve outcomes.
From employee onboarding to student or client intake sessions, internal professional development series, or other types of trainings, organizational resources can become swamped by recurring training needs. Often, trainers and trainees are both best served when trainings are recorded and stored in an easy-to-access Learning Management System (LMS) that automatically tracks progress, allows a trainee to move at their own pace, and relieves organizations of live training tasks or other unscalable processes.
Beyond student data, many institutions pair an SIS with an (LMS) to facilitate the delivery of training and educational content. LMSs create multiple advantages for organizations such as:
There is a distinct advantage to integrating the LMS with any SIS, or even a customer relationship management (CRM) system. Doing so provides a streamlined process for organizing training catalogs that work together with CRM data in a central location, whereas having a separate LMS can often add complexity and inefficiency to workflow.
As an award-winning Salesforce consulting partner, we believe Salesforce is the best platform for many use cases due the endless opportunities for customization and integration depending on goals and needs, including an SIS and an LMS. We work with customers to choose the right LMS software, then take care of all the technical details to integrate the LMS with their Salesforce environment.
Imagine one portal where everyone including recruits, applicants, new employees, current employees, and clients can log in at a single point of entry to manage required forms and take training. Envision a workforce where valuable data analytics are not stored on different systems — but rather all accessible in the same portal, providing insights throughout an employee or client’s journey within your organization. Picture training that is not siloed into various divisions and stored in disparate OneDrive, Dropbox, and Google Drive accounts, but rather all stored together and accessible to everyone on one easy-to-access platform.
This is the power of an integrated LMS and Salesforce solution with profound time and cost-saving implications. We can set this up for your organization and relieve the burden of training processes that are outdated, inefficient, or no longer keep pace with employee and customer expectations.
