Why CRM for Higher Education Most institutions have invested significant money in data systems and have many databases. They often find, though, that accessing, analyzing, and delivering the data and turning it into usable information can become prohibitively expensive and time-consuming. 1 Beckett and McComb s observation reflects the unanimous experience of higher education administrators particularly those of us involved in recruiting and admissions. While student information systems have significantly helped improve the administration of institutions, unfortunately it can fall short of managing the unique day-to-day intricate tasks of recruitment. Today more than ever before, with a tough economic climate coupled with our culture s demands for individual expression and social interaction, recruiters need to do considerably more with a lot less. They need a better way, an easier way, to access and use data to find the right students for their institution. Constituent Recruitment Management (CRM) provides the winning solution to this dilemma, as Gary B. Grant and Greg Anderson explained in an EDUCAUSE and NACUBO publication. CRM goes several steps further than ERP by helping institutions maximize their customer-centric resources The use of CRM applications can lead to improved customer responsiveness and a more comprehensive view of the entire cradle-to-grave customer life cycle. CRM solutions that tie directly into ERP systems are particularly powerful because institutions can take customers through a closed-looped set of well-defined steps and processes to satisfy their needs. 2 1 Beckett & McComb White Paper Increase Enrollment, Retention, and Student Success.

Bringing Recruitment to the Cloud Most of us already live in the cloud and have no idea. We bank online, store photos on Flickr, have Amazon accounts, and regularly check our webmail. Businesses have long understood the power of automation, and cloud computing enables increased efficiency and more individualized interaction with customers or in our case prospects, students, parents, faculty, and alumni. The cloud allows you to perform your computing tasks online anytime, anywhere. You don t need to rely on software, hard drives, servers, and other components that are costly, unwieldy, and inefficient. You don t even need to bother your IT department. Cloud computing has altered the way companies do business and consumers live their lives. Most prospective students already live in the cloud. It s time we join them, don t you think? Imagine having all the data you need on the students you re recruiting at your fingertips and at a moment s notice. You can access a student s application from the road on your laptop and tell her how much you like her essay. Or update a prospect s profile on your cellphone while chatting with him at a college fair table. That s the magic of CRM combined with cloud computing. That s JRM. Nothing but the Best JRM works on the world s leading cloud platform that of Salesforce.com. Winner of CRM Markets Award 2009 for Enterprise, Mid-Market and Small Business Suites and CODiE Award Winner for Best Business Software Solution, Salesforce is credited with revolutionizing the way organizations communicate and collaborate with their customers and prospects all through the cloud. 4
The Importance of Integration Jenzabar wants to help you make the most of JRM by providing tight, seamless integration with your Jenzabar enterprise resource planning solution, other ERPs or SIS systems. It s hard to generalize about admissions officers, but one thing we all seem to agree on is the difficulty of working with multiple vendors. Dartmouth College s Joshua Kim recently blogged (4/10/11) that higher education buyers like their platforms to be integrated, and prefer to deal with as few vendors as possible. He s absolutely right. Jenzabar understands the challenge you face if you re using a variety of tools from different companies. That s why we re not just concerned with seamless integration with your SIS; we ve also pulled together leading solutions in such areas as data integration and document generation. We chose Informatica to ensure the highest data-integrity and Conga to merge information from your database into letters, labels or envelopes. Our partners provide critical add-ons to make the JRM more powerful and effective. And the best part is, we all work together so you can partner with just one vendor. 5
