Key takeaways

• The Ellucian Ethos platform offers first-of-its-kind enterprise-wide data integration and powerful analytics, including integration and compatibility with applications from partners and institutions

The average higher education institution relies on upwards of 100 individual point solutions to deliver key services, covering everything from recruitment to financial aid, alumni relations to payment systems. Over time, this approach has resulted in siloed, disjointed decision-making and complex maintenance efforts.   

Combined with increasing student expectations for consumer grade experiences and growing financial pressures, IT departments are forced to find new ways to deliver exceptional experiences and increase value. To meet this challenge, institutions strive to provide an empowered environment that interconnects people, processes, and technology across the institution. Interconnected campuses unify the institution to power coordinated programmes designed for student success. For example, they empower student success coaches to provide meaningful guidance with a 360-degree student profile view that includes intended major, grades, financial aid, and student association membership. By combining information across multiple systems, coaches can shift conversations from check-ups to true advisement.  

But in reality, creating this connected environment is no easy feat. Establishing a uniform data structure, defining business rules, and managing system integrations and maintenance can be complex and time consuming.
