CIIS will establish a single source of data using a software-as-a-service
(SaaS) deployment of Ellucian Colleague and Ellucian
Ethos. The institution looks to achieve data integration across
departments and its various solutions—streamlining the flow of data,
reducing manual processes, and allowing faculty and administration to
make more insightful, data-informed decisions. A SaaS deployment will
allow CIIS to easily access the most current application releases and
advanced functions while offering greater flexibility, a modern user
experience and more robust business continuity capabilities. With
Colleague, students will have access to mobile-friendly tools allowing
them to conduct their school business from any device and giving them
increased visibility into their journey to graduation.
“Data is essential to every interaction between CIIS students, faculty
and staff,” said Judie Wexler, President of California Institute of
Integral Studies. “Implementing this solution set from Ellucian will be
a huge step forward in offering students faster responses, a unified
view of their degree path and its financial implications, as well as
providing deep analytics-based insights for staff. These improvements
will, in turn, facilitate expanded enrollments and growth in both
tuition and non-tuition revenue.”
Additionally, CIIS will use CRM Advise to identify cross-departmental
data for advisors leading to more personalized communications and
experiences for current students. The institution will leverage Ellucian
Analytics to surface data in a way that enables informed decision-making
driving student success, institutional growth, and operational
efficiency. And Ellucian Workflow will improve efficiency by automating
repetitive tasks and streamlining outdated business processes across the
institution.
“CIIS joins a growing community of Ellucian Colleague cloud institutions
who are harnessing the power of their data in the cloud to create more
impactful experiences for students, faculty, and staff,” said Ellucian
President and CEO, Laura Ipsen. “Ellucian’s unified digital platform
unlocks vast opportunities for growth, efficiencies, and strategic
insight, and will serve as a foundation for continued innovation at
CIIS. We’re thrilled to have them on board.”
