TopSchool Publishes New eBook, "More Than Data Collection: Complete Student Lifecycle Management"

DENVER, May 7, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- TopSchool, a leading SaaS provider of Student Lifecycle Management (SLM) solutions for higher education, has published its latest eBook, which is designed to help higher education institutions more effectively use data throughout student recruitment, retention and career placement.  Authored by TopSchool's Vice President of Product Management, Chris Chumley, the eBook helps schools embrace the power of data.

"Student Lifecycle Management is all about the proactive use of data," Chumley said in a recent blog post.  "While many schools rely on a stand-alone Student Information System (SIS) to capture data, they then find themselves limited in their use of that information to recruit, retain and place students. There is so much more you can do when you pull the data out of the system, which is the foundation of complete Student Lifecycle Management." 

As a student moves through each phase of the lifecycle, his or her data repository expands, as does the school's opportunity to act on that data.  As Chumley points out in the eBook, Student Lifecycle Management delivers on the promise of being truly student centric. 

The right Student Lifecycle Management processes and technology allow colleges and universities to:

• Analyze and predict interest
• Tailor communications
• Identify areas of concern
• Deliver a higher level of service
• Build a loyal and lasting relationship

"More Than Data Collection: Complete Student Lifecycle Management" is available for free through TopSchool's website.  To download a copy, please click here.
