Education Success Story
Private University System
United States
Education
Our client is a prestigious private university system comprising multiple campuses and serving over 25,000 students across undergraduate, graduate, and professional programs. The institution is known for its academic excellence, research initiatives, and strong alumni network spanning various industries and geographic regions.
The university struggled with fragmented student data across multiple systems, leading to inefficient support services and disconnected alumni relations.
The university struggled with fragmented student data across multiple systems, leading to inefficient support services and disconnected alumni relations.
We implemented Salesforce Education Cloud anchored by the Education Data Architecture (EDA) to unify the full student lifecycle—from prospect and applicant to enrolled student and alum. Academic advisors gained a single source of truth with comprehensive success plans, early‑alert workflows, and guided case management. Experience Cloud portals enabled self‑service for students and alumni, improving engagement while reducing administrative burden.
For advancement, we integrated Nonprofit Cloud to centralize donor profiles, pledge histories, and campaign performance. Marketing Cloud orchestrated segmented journeys with dynamic content and campaign automation, while event management streamlined registrations and attendance tracking. MuleSoft connected SIS, LMS, and identity systems to ensure real‑time data synchronization. Tableau dashboards provided leadership with actionable insights on enrollment, retention, alumni engagement, and annual giving—closing the loop between operations and strategy.
