Campus Management will deliver Microsoft Dynamics CRM in Higher Education

designed to drive enrollment growth and aid student retention

    BOCA RATON, Fla., Oct. 24 /PRNewswire/ -- Campus Management Corp. today
 announced the selection of Microsoft Dynamics CRM as the technology
 framework for its next generation solution for CRM in Higher Education.
 Campus Management has been a pioneer of CRM in Higher Education, providing
 the most robust and proven capabilities across the student
 lifecycle-designed specifically for institutions delivering a blend of
 traditional, non- traditional, on-site, and distance education programs.
 Institutions running Campus Management's solutions grow their enrollments
 three times faster than the industry average, and consistently achieve
 higher rates of retention and program completion.
     "Campus Management understands the challenges in higher education,"
 said Rich Seidner, Microsoft's executive director of education. "Enrollment
 growth and profitable operations now matter to every institution. Campus
 Management is creating a unique solution, using Microsoft Dynamics CRM to
 deliver process automation, real-time performance statistics, and student
 lifecycle management for all types of institutions-on-ground, online,
 hybrid, and multi-campus."
     Campus Management initially developed its solutions to support the
 needs of the for-profit education sector and recognized the need to support
 CRM processes far earlier than many of its competitors targeting the
 non-profit sector. (1)
     "CRM is in Campus Management's DNA. Our next generation CRM in Higher
 Education extends the business benefits of CRM to manage and measure all
 stages of the student lifecycle from source through student outcome," said

 to bring our solution to market faster and with greater integration and
 customization options for our customers by building on Microsoft Dynamics
 CRM."
