Background
Not every institution is in the same position following Ellucian’s acquisition of Anthology Student, and the right next move depends heavily on where you stand today.
To help leaders in higher education cut through the noise, and get to a concrete path forward, Deer Brook and HigherEdBPO have put together a free decision tree resource that you can view above by clicking the “Download Now” button.
Our framework dives into three factors that have the most influence on your institution’s risk level and urgency:
- Whether your contract renewal is coming up in the next 12-24 months
- How academically complex your environment is (non-term, multi-campus operations, etc.)
- How deeply integrated your CRM, LMS, SIS, and FA systems are
Based on your answers, our decision tree will map you to one of three strategic paths: “Explore & Migrate,” “Stabilize & Hedge,” or “Stabilize & Stay.”
The resource also concludes with a set of immediate steps that every institution should be taking right now, regardless of which path they’re on. If you’ve been trying to figure out where to start, we highly recommend utilizing this decision tree.
