Initiative Title | Research, purchase and implement Customer Relationship Management System (CRM) |
---|---|
Submitted in Previous Year(s) | 2019 |
Critical Information, Notes, Justification, Rationale | Currently, our admissions department does not have an efficient way to track our inquiry and applicants through the admissions funnel without having to run manual process. In addition, many of our offices in Student Services send out a number of communications. Unfortunately the current systems we have in place do not allow other departments in Student Services to view this information. This makes it increasingly difficult to assist our students. A CRM would allow for our department to track and maintain all admissions data, allow for cross communication among student services divisions and would assist with event and admission application management. |
Consequences of this initiative not being funded | Many SUNY Community College's are utilizing CRM in their recruitment plans. In order for us to stay ahead of the game, we need to make sure we are providing a service that our students of today come to expect. In addition, not having a CRM calls for a lot of manual reporting. A CRM would not only enhance our communication but give us live data as students go through the admissions funnel. |
