To efficiently and effectively lead an institution today, it is vital that data be readily accessible. Data informs virtually every aspect of strategic decision-making at UMUC and the context and commentary provided by HelioCampus are even more valuable than the cutting-edge tools and technology they use. Their expertise provides us with a new level of confidence as we navigate the highly competitive and constantly changing higher education marketplace.
This project went way beyond the nuts and-bolts of hiring an IT company to help run data. HelioCampus understands the landscape of higher education, and so they were able to look at the findings through a policy perspective. That’s incredibly rare.
The HelioCampus Benchmarking Consortium and my external consultants are complementary and synergistic. They form an outstanding team in our pursuit of operational excellence.
After an extensive evaluation process, St. Edward's University selected HelioCampus based on their higher education experience and flexible, modern technology solution. The HelioCampus offering allows the university to address questions and planning across multiple divisions and functions with a single platform. The pairing of a extensible platform with data science services fit our needs and lets us focus on providing access to better information and self-service tools to our constituents.
Given our limited resources and expertise in analytics, HelioCampus was the only complete solution we could implement without the need to hire more staff. Their subscription model includes ongoing services to assist us along the way, and we can customize and extend the platform to meet our unique needs. The HelioCampus offering accelerated our analytics initiative, all at a total cost of ownership that is a fraction of what many other universities spend.
