Seattle University was tasked with the design and build out of Slate for Student Success to bolster internal processes for current students while streamlining the general experience. Previously on multiple systems, the institution sought counsel on how to consolidate their technology stack into a simplified system while maintaining (and exceeding) feature parity.
Already leveraging Technolutions Slate for recruitment and admissions processes, SU opted to procure an additional database to support student success efforts. The University approached RHB to lead internal process conversations and provide a technical roadmap for strategic implementation. At the onset of the engagement, SU intended on taking on a significant portion of the lift for the build themselves.
Ultimately, RHB provided a significant component of the build while simultaneously supporting SU in the design of a systems management and governance model that would inform future success across the organization.
Upon completion of the onsite stakeholder sessions and technology ecosystem analysis, RHB laid a path forward toward successful implementation of Technolutions Slate for Student Success.
Importantly for these engagements, RHB aided the University in thinking creatively about how to flex the system while maintaining best practice in configuration techniques, as there are no “student success” modules within the platform.
With a core focus on data integrations (the crux of a successful student success implementation), advising processes and record management, RHB was able to guide a strategic and thoughtful implementation that met the needs of the team and, ultimately, the institution.
RHB can help institutions like Seattle University navigate complex technological transitions and optimize their student success initiatives. With our expertise in Technolutions Slate and deep understanding of higher education processes, we can guide universities through the entire journey – from initial stakeholder sessions and ecosystem analysis to strategic implementation and beyond.
Our team excels at creative problem-solving, helping institutions leverage existing platforms in innovative ways to meet unique needs. We provide comprehensive support in system consolidation, data integration, process streamlining, and the development of governance models. By partnering with RHB, universities can benefit from our technical know-how and strategic insight, ensuring a smooth transition that not only maintains but enhances functionality, ultimately leading to improved student outcomes and institutional efficiency.
