According to the report, "Competing in the expanding digital education ecosystem requires integration of siloed systems on campus, as well as interoperability with external providers and services. Significant opportunity exists for leveraging data to create meaningful analytics to improve student success."
"DecisionDesk helps to reduce the pain that CIOs face at their institutions by providing a quality, authoritative source of student-provided data," said John Knific, CEO of DecisionDesk. "The data quality begins with the application process and is then distributed across the institution's IT environment, including the CRM and SIS."
In the report, Gartner recommends that Education CIO's should:
- Focus more on the information part of information technology, as well as seek solutions that integrate data sources, and put them at the educator's fingertips.
- Enable interoperability with external services to extend the value chain, and improve the student experience.
- Leverage the value of your data by simplifying the integration of systems.
- Support student success initiatives by considering solutions that leverage data about the student in a more holistic way across the education spectrum.
"We are proud to be included in the report by Gartner as we help higher education institutions achieve enrollment goals by providing an incredible admissions experience for prospective students, administration, and IT teams," Knific said.
