"One of our top priorities is to always try to offer our students a chance to succeed on a daily basis."

"I think a lot of institutions should implement an IT governance model, and they will realize, as did Brookdale, how it was the one, important element that was missing."

“Everybody recognizes the value in continuing the service Ellucian helps us employ best practices so we avoid costly mistakes and make the right decisions in a timely fashion.”

“All the colleges now use the same catalog, same naming conventions, and same data standards. That way, we’re truly comparing headcount in service programs at every institution on a one-to-one basis, as opposed to doing it 25 different ways.”

“With the way Ellucian is set up in our environment, we have the opportunity to allow students to register at multiple institutions. Those kinds of technologies help faculty and staff with their daily lives and improve their efficiency across the board."

“From the very beginning, everything was so clearly presented, and we were prepared for everything.”

"I think that the most beneficial piece of Ellucian CRM Recruit is the way that we can now communicate easier, quicker, faster, and more accurately with our prospective students."

“We’ve been able to automate a lot of things that have, in the past, been fairly mundane tasks for somebody. Those changes allowed counselors and general admissions staff to focus on recruiting higher caliber students.”

“From an operational standpoint, the real advantage with Ellucian CRM Recruit is we don’t have to write the import for Ellucian Colleague for SAT and ACT scores and applications. It’s all part of the Recruit import. Previously, when the new formats came out, we had to dedicate programmer time to …

"I now have real-time data showing me how many students are currently enrolled in a particular course, semester, year, or location and can make better management decisions on the fly. I’ve designed a report that works perfectly for my needs, and I can run it any time at the touch …

"Before Colleague Reporting and Operating Analytics, we were constantly scrambling to assemble the right data in time, having to retrieve information from multiple sources, and struggling to ensure accuracy. We have now designed a variety of reports using reliable data collected and updated on an ongoing basis, not just when …
