Solutions we are assisting our clients implement:
Workday Data Integration with BBA
clients use Workday in conjunction with BBA to offer reporting capabilities on student records at specific points in time, whereas Workday only shows current data. Additionally, clients prefer using BBA's familiar tools and data structures to avoid learning new, complex tools.
CRM Data Integration with BBA
clients integrate CRM data (e.g., Salesforce, Slate, Recruit) with BBA to enhance admissions reporting. This integration includes nurturing activities such as campus visits and virtual recruiting events, providing a comprehensive view of the admissions funnel process from prospect to registered student though student success.
Student Success and Retention Application
RS-5 has developed a Retention Application for clients to enhance student success and retention. By utilizing data analytics, clients can identify at-risk students, implement supported interventions by advisors, faculty, and peers, and monitor student progress. The objective is to provide timely interventions to improve retention rates.
Academic Financial Analysis (AFA)
the AFA application offers detailed analysis of trending revenue and expenditure per Student Full-Time Equivalent (FTE) and financial performance of academic programs. AFA enables clients to obtain essential insights, make informed resource allocation and alignment decisions, and prepare their institution to adopt a strategic, disciplined, data-driven approach to the continuous financial performance management of its academic portfolio.
PowerBi
clients often encounter difficulties when migrating reports from Pyramid Analytics to Microsoft PowerBi. We provide assistance in migrating reports, dashboards, and data models while ensuring consistency and accuracy. RS-5 has created a systematic approach that simplifies the conversion process, enabling clients to start using PowerBi reporting within a few weeks.
Qualtrics Survey Reporting
clients utilize the Qualtrics API to integrate survey data with internal SIS data and external surveys such as NSSE, facilitating comprehensive survey results reporting and enabling informed decision-making.
