Aligning Student & Financial Information

Meeting the challenge of creating a complete decision support picture of every student, from kindergarten to graduate school, requires bringing together tens of millions of facts from disconnected systems. Once these facts are collected, they need to be delivered to non-technical professionals who can use them to improve the balance between education delivered and resulting outcomes.

Salient gives admissions counselors, advisors, and teachers a source of comprehensive intelligence on the impact of students, faculty, and program activity on financial health. Salient incorporates database information from different sources to measure how new policies, programs, curricula, and strategies affect student outcomes.

More importantly, Salient offers a knowledge transfer system so easy that you can share soft knowledge, and thereby support team management. Salient's built-in intelligence allows you to connect student profiles to outcomes and financials. Interactively survey performance data, expose outliers, and investigate root causes. By easily accessing exceptions, comparisons, trends, and outliers, you can connect your institution's policy changes, investments, and new programs to performance outcomes.
