How colleges and universities are using Salesforce to make the lives of their students and staff better?

The Covid-19 pandemic forced educational institutions to heavily depend on technology to keep operations running smoothly as students were moved out of classrooms. While this shift was accelerated by the pandemic, it was inevitable given the evolving expectations of today’s students, who seek easily accessible information and constant connectivity with their peers and faculty. Salesforce Education Cloud, along with a strong network of Salesforce consulting companies and implementation partners, provides solutions that meet these needs by creating a more connected, efficient campus experience.
Salesforce Education Cloud
Let’s examine how the implementation of Salesforce Education Cloud, supported by Salesforce consulting services and Salesforce managed services, can improve both administrative and student experiences at universities:
Fundraising
Many colleges face challenges when it comes to efficiently managing marketing and fundraising operations due to scattered alumni and donor data. Salesforce consulting partners can help institutions integrate this information into one cohesive platform, making it easier to identify key insights and act upon them. By leveraging Salesforce data migration services, universities can streamline donor management, improving fundraising efforts. For instance, Morehouse College increased alumni donations by up to eight times using Salesforce. Other leading institutions like USC, Stanford, Purdue, and Notre Dame have also seen enhanced fundraising outcomes with Salesforce.
Increased Productivity
With Salesforce custom application development and Salesforce Service Cloud implementation, colleges can connect their entire organization, providing access to customizable dashboards and integrated data across departments. This integration boosts productivity for both administrators and students by offering self-service access to crucial data. Universities like Purdue, Yale, and Stanford, with the support of Salesforce consulting firms, have successfully adopted Salesforce to enhance productivity and operational efficiency across campus.
Improved Recruitment Process
Salesforce Education Cloud streamlines the recruitment and admissions process, making their recruitment efforts more efficient and targeted. Salesforce marketing cloud implementation partners and Salesforce consulting companies can assist institutions in utilizing Salesforce Marketing Cloud and Salesforce Sales Cloud services to track the student journey, optimize social marketing, manage budgets, and send personalized messages to prospective students. By integrating recruitment data into a single platform, colleges can focus on enrolling the right students specific to their campus needs. Institutions that have adopted these tools have reported a more streamlined and effective recruitment process.
Enhancing the Student Experience
As hybrid and online learning continue to grow, the student experience is increasingly shaped by the technology their institution provides. With Salesforce app development and Salesforce custom application development services, colleges can offer tailored solutions that deliver personalized student experiences. By leveraging Salesforce’s integrated platform, schools gain actionable insights into student engagement, helping them deliver a personalized and responsive educational experience. Salesforce Service Cloud integration ensures efficient communication between faculty and students, allowing colleges to manage assignments, provide feedback, and keep students connected, regardless of their location.
Improving the Work Environment for Staff
Hybrid and online education posed significant challenges for both faculty and administrative staff, many of whom were unprepared for the technological demands of remote learning. Salesforce managed services and Salesforce consulting partners can support universities in navigating these challenges by providing teachers and administrators with user-friendly, customizable dashboards. These tools allow educators to communicate easily with students, track interactions, and manage coursework. Through Salesforce Service Cloud implementation, institutions can further enhance operational efficiency, ensuring that staff can focus on what matters most—delivering quality education.
Colleges are also using Salesforce analytics cloud to analyze student and staff performance data, enabling a data-driven approach to decision-making. With Salesforce implementation partners and Salesforce development services, universities can continue to optimize their systems to create a more effective, collaborative, and supportive environment for staff.
By partnering with Salesforce consulting firms, leveraging Salesforce implementation services, and adopting custom Salesforce solutions, colleges and universities are transforming their operations. From enhancing student recruitment to improving staff productivity, Salesforce Education Cloud is empowering educational institutions to build a more connected, data-driven campus for both students and staff. The integration of Salesforce Service Cloud, Marketing Cloud, and other Salesforce products is setting the foundation for a future-ready educational ecosystem.
Pranshu Goyal, Director of Products at Mirekta, states: “We envision DSM to be used by every small to a medium-sized organization dealing with bad data and want to get rid of duplicates easily with no cost. We have faced issues dealing with duplicates in our organization. That inspired us to make a solution that is not only simple to use but can be used widely to make the organization’s data clean to make them more efficient and productive. We want DSM to be a solution for every organization looking for duplicate management capability better than the Salesforce out-of-the-box solution with no additional cost.”
