Universities and Colleges require a framework for organizing and managing their data, this includes prospects, students, faculty, and alumni information. Major focus areas for most institutions are to increase enrollment, understand and provide tailored communications all along the student lifecycle, and increase alumni involvement and donations.
By using social, mobile and cloud technology, universities can easily connect and capture information from interactions they have with prospects, students, faculty, alumni, and organizations. But what happens with that data, how is it collected and distributed to better serve constituents of your institution?
Higher Education Data Architecture (HEDA), which Salesforce developed in 2016 to provides a architecture designed for Higher Education. HEDA is a community-driven data architecture designed to help Universities and colleges create a Connected Campus throughout the entire student journey. Institutions can now utilize the HEDA architecture that is designed to configure Salesforce out -of-the-box for universities and colleges.
HEDA simplifies the process for institutions to enable dynamic, personalized engagements throughout the student lifecycle, from prospect to alumni.
