Morton College has reportedly selected Datatel to build strategic academic enterprise. This move is expected to help the college concentrate more on its mission of student success and less on their technology infrastructure.

 

Datatel officials said that as part of the pact the company will provide a host of software solutions and business consulting services that will help Morton College to address the entire student lifecycle—from recruitment to alumni relationships.

 

“The selection committee reviewed several products and the College overwhelmingly chose Datatel,” said Dr. Leslie Navarro, president of Morton College, in a statement.

 

Dr. Navarro said that Datatel’s strong reputation, support, and special features presented the college the greatest value.

 

According to officials, Morton College is the 18th Illinois community college to partner with Datatel to utilize the capability, and flexibility of the company’s products and professional services.

 

Officials said that Morton College has licensed Datatel Colleague, a technology solution specifically designed to manage and improve departmental workflows, business processes, productivity, and efficiency across the Strategic Academic Enterprise.

The college has also licensed Datatel ActiveAdmissions, a comprehensive e-recruitment solution that transforms institutional Web sites into a personalized and engaging enrollment tool, and ActiveAlumni, an online one-to-one e-marketing vehicle that nurtures and sustains alumni relationships.

 

“With Datatel, we will be able to support better decision making, target our marketing efforts, fully inform our faculty and students, realize less costly business transactions, and fulfill state reporting requirements from a single source of truth,” Navarro said.

 

Datatel is a provider of technology products, services, and insight to higher education. Colleges, universities, and technical schools across North America partner with Datatel to construct strategic academic enterprises dedicated to achieving student success

.

Earlier this month Datatel had announced that it has strengthened its position in the higher education constituent relationship management market with the introduction of Datatel Recruiter – the latest addition to the company’s Enterprise CRM solution.

The solution helps admissions office personnel build strong and lasting relationships with prospective students throughout the admissions process and beyond.
