Student Number Planning

Higher Education institutions have procedures established around data governance and data collection. Student number planners encounter a challenging task with their implementing systems and administrative processes of the enrolment of their students. Evaluating the departments performance can become difficult if the university does not properly manage their key performance indicators such as student-to-staff ratio, percentage of incoming/outgoing exchange students, student diversity, etc. This can become a major issue fiscally and logistically. A reliable and trustworthy software must be implemented to solve these issues as this will drastically result with the university meeting their potential to ensure the correct allocation of their academic departments.

Recruitment & Retention

With the increasing costs, changes in financial circumstances, and other factors, it becomes vital that the universities ensure that their student retention rate is low and retaining new students. The main challenge revolves around developing data processes that can measure whether the student is a suitable fit as well as identifying whether those students are likely to drop out. By developing a data-informed approach, universities can find solutions to enhance financial aid in a way that is mutually beneficial towards the institution and students.

League Table Analysis

The demand for real-time analytics on academic quality has played a pivotal role with higher education institutions to understand the strengths and weaknesses of the university ranking systems with its competitors. It can become challenging to understand where the institution is ranked in comparison to its competitors based on different metrics. Metrics such as teaching quality, student-staff ratio, student experience, applications, offers made, offers accepted and many others can be difficult to track. Acquiring a platform that can visualize and track performance metrics of the university will improve these metrics that will result in attracting more applicants and leading your institution ahead of its competition.
