I received my annual contract renewal from Technolutions for Slate, our university's CRM. Most annual contracts make me sigh. Always an increase. And never enough budget to cover the increases. Technolutions is different. One thing hasn't change. The price. Since 2000. (That's not a typo). In a sector where costs continue to rise, that level of consistency and dedication is remarkable. It speaks to a long-term mindset and a clear commitment to higher education. I've heard Alexander Clark share his vision multiple times at the annual Slate Summit. He deserves a great deal of credit for leading with that kind of vision and commitment to higher education. We need more partners like this.

Have you ever used a Technolutions Slate portal as a live workbook? When applications are still coming in, distributing files often means downloading a new spreadsheet every day and estimating assignments as the numbers change. Instead, I built a portal driven by a Round-based query and a little JavaScript that lets me experiment with different staff assignment scenarios directly in the interface before building out rules. Curious where else people think a sandbox like this might be useful. Check it out below. ⚠️ File counts shown in the video are fictional and used for demonstration. hashtag #SlateCRM #HigherEd #EnrollmentManagement #Admissions

Headed to New Haven this week for Technolutions Slate Labs — two days of hands-on, in-person learning, building, and collaboration with some of the best in the Slate Student Success community! There’s nothing like getting out of the day-to-day to sharpen ideas, swap strategies, and bring back solutions you can actually use. If you’ll be there, come say hi — I’d love to connect in person! 👋 Solidan

When you work in Admissions, you know year-over-year funnel analysis usually means date-to-date comparisons 📊 But what about your marquee admitted student events? Those are often tied to academic calendars and spring breaks that shift every year. A straight date comparison may not tell the full story. Instead, try equivalent registration reporting. The idea is simple. Compare how registrations are tracking based on the number of days before the event, not the calendar date. Start by calculating the number of days between today and your upcoming event. Then pull data from the same number of days before the event in prior years. Two ways to do this in Technolutions Slate: 1️⃣ Quick method Ask your favorite AI tool for the DATEDIFF between two event dates. Use the result in days. Then filter each column using “today minus X days” to get equivalent timing across cycles. 2️⃣ Pattern method Build translation codes that map calendar dates to your event timeline. For example, GAD-10, GAD-09, etc. Then export registration dates and apply the translation code to compare daily registration patterns across years. Neither method is fully evergreen and both take a bit of setup. But for high-impact events, this can give you a much clearer picture of how things are really tracking. #SlateFeatureFriday

What we heard again and again: AI alone is not enough. Institutions are looking for results. My team at Huron has spent the last several months speaking with university and EdTech leaders to better understand what’s actually reshaping the student lifecycle across recruitment, retention, and career readiness. COMING THIS WEEK: The RISE 40 — a new report highlighting 40 EdTech companies and the market dynamics institutional leaders should have on their radar. If you’d like early access, you can request the report here: https://lnkd.in/esEvJrBi And if you’ll be at the ASU+GSV Summit, we’d welcome the chance to connect there as well!

Experience and collaboration make a difference. Regular team check-ins, shared expertise, and problem-solving together help teams overcome challenges, learn from each other, and continuously improve results. #StudentSuccess #CRMforEducation #DataDriven #Slate Technolutions

If you’re a Technolutions Slate user trying to understand and improve your communications’ effectiveness, Johnny Grimmer and I have built some tools for you! You can find them here: https://lnkd.in/gPnvwb2h. 🔍 Queries: We built three queries that surface performance metrics across different mailing types: ongoing, ad hoc, and form/event communications. These queries are a starting point for knowing what’s happening. 📊 Communication Analysis AI Prompt: We’ve crafted a Slate AI prompt that will help interpret results from those queries, breaking down engagement trends, flagging potential issues, and surfacing opportunities. 🤖 Mailing Audit Assistant AI Prompt: Working alongside Deliver, this AI prompt checks an individual mailing for technical issues, greater personalization, and opportunities to heighten engagement. It can also make these adjustments under your direction! These tools are meant to complement each other: find the mailings worth examining, analyze the patterns, then go deeper on individual mailings. These prompts are also yours to tweak and refine! If you use any of these, we'd love to hear what works and what you'd want to see improved!
