WHAT IF YOUR STUDENT INFORMATION SYSTEM SUPPORTED GROWTH?
In the continually shifting and competitive higher education landscape, delivering the right strategy for growth is critical for survival. Many institutions find that their legacy student information systems make it harder to adapt to new models, hampering Admissions and Advancement efforts.
Unit4 supports growth strategies across the entire student lifecycle:
- Admissions technology with configurable workflows that automate outreach campaigns based on prospect behaviour.
- Streamlined application processes that create program-specific application types and document management.
- Relationship management tools that build long-term affiliations with alumni and partners.
Unit4 helps Admissions and Advancement leaders to focus on recruitment and relationships, not routine tasks.
IN BUSINESS FOR PEOPLE
Unit4 works closely with hundreds of colleges and universities around the world, including many IVY League institutions, that strive to serve students whilst conducting world-changing research.
Here, Nicki Matthew describes how Unit4 has helped the teams at University of Aberdeen to empower students to choose and build their ideal curriculums:
Deliver a digital upgrade to students, faculty and staff
Students, faculty and staff have come to expect more as they experience a technological revolution in their personal lives. Unfortunately, when it comes to their campus life, they often experience a “digital downgrade” using dated systems that don’t meet their high expectations.With Unit4 Student Management, you can provide your students, faculty and staff with an intuitive experience built for today’s mobile user. What once was a source of disappointment has now become a competitive advantage.
With its adaptive architecture and configurable setup, Unit4 Student Management is a next-generation student information system built for change. You can update strategies and processes quickly and easily, lowering your IT investment and system support costs, while improving the user experience for faculty, staff and students.
WHAT IF YOUR TECHNOLOGY COULD HELP YOU TO RETAIN MORE STUDENTS, AND PROPEL THEM TOWARDS GRADUATION AND EMPLOYMENT?
Student success is more important for an institution to achieve than ever. The increasingly transactional nature of the student-university relationship means applicants study retention, graduation and employment rates in granular detail. It is vital that institutions are able to monitor, report and improve these rates so they can compete with both traditional and emerging competitors.Unit4 Student Management allows you to predict retention rates and target at-risk students with support and specific communications. Students are supported through campus life with a personal, branded and intuitive student portal on any device, at any time. Administrators can change digital offerings using intuitive interfaces – no hard coding required. In-memory analytics can be deployed to set up dashboards to measure KPIs. The result is streamlined administration that frees up student time for studies, and administration time for personalized support.

What if financial impacts of research opportunities, bids and projects were fully transparent?
The business of research is more complex than ever before. Global institutions and new entrants are competing for funds, and funders expect increasing levels of financial compliance.Unit4 Research Management helps you outperform the competition. It provides transparency from commercial, compliance and financial perspectives and unlocks insights with in-memory analytic tools so that academic, business development and finance teams can plan success. And it automates more financial and project administration tasks so that skilled researchers can focus on world-changing research.
What if you could easily monitor, report and improve on key institutional metrics?
Tuition pricing pressure, shrinking budgets, and higher expectations from constituents have created a new economic model for colleges and universities to be better stewards of their resources. Unfortunately, outdated systems result in manual workarounds that delay services to students and encourage inaccurate recordkeeping. Shadow systems and siloed operations create an opaque information hub that discourages collaboration and undermines data integrity. And disconnected administrative systems make it difficult to craft budgets and control spending, and to quantify the ROI of your human capital.
To overcome these obstacles, Unit4 Education Solutions are built on the flexible Unit4 People Platform that enables you to adapt your strategies and processes without needing to hire expensive IT consultants to modify your system. You can maintain a laser focus on key metrics with visual dashboards and embedded analytics that get the right information in the right hands at the right time.
