The organization increasingly required a solution to ensure that students receive accurate information at just the right points in their application and enrolment journey .
Following a market review , the university selected the Tribal Student Marketing & Recruitment CRM solution based on several key factors including its ability for rapid deployment , strong customer references , a large installed user base and ease of integration into the university ’ s Student Management System , SITS : Vision .
The university was also impressed with Tribal Group ’ s deep understanding and engagement with Microsoft Education , ensuring the organization ’ s ability to maximize the benefit of MS Dynamics in a tertiary setting .
