Many higher ed institutions are making data agility optimization a top priority, especially after the events of 2020 that not only accelerated digital transformation but also changed the education industry. On top of continuously collecting and storing student data, colleges must extract important trends and insights from it to improve every stage of the student life cycle.

With traditional iPaaS systems failing to keep up with the data influx and infrastructure changes, many colleges are switching to an integration relationship management platform to improve operational efficiency, authenticate data, and streamline data flow.

Read on to learn how!

What Is Data Agility?

Data agility refers to how quickly you can extract valuable information from data silos and translate that information into action. For higher ed institutions, the translation is usually about efficiently getting student data into the hands of different departments, such as admissions, marketing, administration, and faculty, etc. Using this data, they can easily find insights that can improve their student success rates.

What Is an Integration Relationship Management Platform?

An integration relationship management platform is a one-of-a-kind solution from AMSA Connect designed specifically for higher ed institutions. Colleges can use it to integrate unlimited on-campus systems and centralize data access across all departments. The platform also features an intuitive interface for analytics, duplicate resolution, and error handling.

How an Integration Relationship Management Platform Can Optimize Data Agility

If you’re wondering what makes an integration relationship management platform the perfect tool for optimizing data agility, let’s check out the major benefits:

1.     Instant Healthy Data

If you look back to the definition of data agility, it refers to extracting valuable information, such as names, addresses, and contact information, etc. Usually, this is raw, unstructured data that teams have to process and refine. However, an integration relationship management platform automatically extracts relevant information, deduplicates it, and makes it accessible throughout every department to save time and manual labor.

2.     Synchronous Communication

AMSA Connect features a social media-like feed on which different teams can interact with each other and share real-time updates regarding data processes and implementation. With a connected campus, information transfer becomes more fluid, which optimizes data agility further.

Bottom Line

Data agility is increasingly becoming essential for colleges in 2021 and beyond, as they look to transition from traditional data management practices. Using AMSA Connect’s integration relationship management platform, your on-campus departments and teams can drive out a greater value from data and build better engagement with students and achieve sustained success.
