We combine data with ongoing professional services to help institutions better understand the connections through easily navigated data models and visualizations. Products organized by subject area can be implemented independently or leverage the power of the platform when interconnected to make more informed decisions.

Student Lifecycle

Student Lifecycle supports cross-functional analyses that enable institutional stakeholders to better understand the connections between admissions, enrollment, student success and financial aid data.

For Institutional Research, Student Lifecycle increases the ability to deliver strategic decision support across academic and administrative functions.
For Admissions leaders, Student Lifecycle helps you understand opportunities to optimize recruitment, financial aid and admissions strategies to maximize yield.
For Student Success leaders, Student Lifecycle helps you measure and improve student persistence and retention to drive student outcomes.

Decision Support Series:
A Packaged Solution

Regardless of your starting point, the Decision Support offerings consist of an Enterprise Platform & Data Warehouse, Higher Education Data Models, and Data Science Services.

Enterprise Technology Platform

Our secure, extensive, high performance data platform provides an open and extensible environment to leverage existing and future investments.

Source Systems & Third Party Integrations

Integrations with your institution’s relevant systems of record, third-party and public data sets where applicable allow for data replication into a Data Lake.

Data Models

Data models provide intuitive, logical relationships and integrations between data sources as well as within individual data sources that are not normally fit for reporting against. Organized by subject area, data models provide for efficient and organized analysis and serve as the foundation for dashboards and predictive models.

Data Visualization

Intuitive data visualizations and standard dashboards help make your data actionable and understandable. The HelioCampus platform includes a set of standard visualizations, showing trends for key metrics. Each dashboard can be configured and customized based on your business rules and specifications.

Data Science Services

While the technology platform and data organization are critical, ongoing data science services help tackle critical institutional challenges. These services include decision support, assisting with building predictive models, conducting user training, or integrating additional data sources into the platform.

The complexity of the technology, combined with the need to move ahead rapidly, and the success of the pilot, really fueled the university wanting more. We chose to partner with HelioCampus as opposed to building our own solution because what they provided was probably where we would have been in three to five years. We couldn't wait.

—Michael Cipriano , Associate Vice Chancellor & CIO, UMass Lowell

UMass Amherst understands the value of analytics and has already made investments in this area. We are looking forward to working with HelioCampus to help us refine institutional decision making and focus on student success.

—Steve Goodwin, Deputy Chancellor and Chief Planning Officer, UMass Amherst

I think the key to our progress has been that we have become more collaborative throughout the university. HelioCampus and the dashboards we have developed through our partnership have really elevated our ability to be transparent; today, everybody is seeing the same information and our decision-making processes are much clearer to everyone. I think our story is about change and leadership, but also it’s about the importance of data for what we’re trying to do as an institution.

—Steven R. Moser, Provost and Senior Vice President for Academic Affairs, The University of Southern Mississippi
