About the Episode

In today's new virtual-admissions world we're living in, having software that empowers enrollment management teams to design a remarkable, personalized, and student-success-oriented admissions experience is a "must-have," not a "want-to-have."

Cornelia Anderson, Co-Founder and CEO of Verity IQ joins Zach in this week's episode to chat about how the next wave of CRMs, SIS's, and other university-wide apps and software must be built within a framework of "all-on-one" instead of the traditional "all-in-one" framework. In other words, integrations with easy-to-access API's are the future.

Ideally, all staff members at a college would be able to use whichever marketing tool, social tool, etc., that they'd like and be able to efficiently reference the core system or record. Don't miss the episode for a critical discussion about the power of a truly integrated, enterprise-wide system for all university departments and teams.
