Technolutions Slate: Best in Breed
It is used for virtually all admissions/recruiting processing: communications, applicant ranking, event management, outreach/marketing.
- Being able to create a standard communications flow to/from applicants.
- Very intuitive interface.
- Query functions are fairly robust, but easy for end-users to use.
- Some of their table structures are overly complex; don't necessarily conform to usual standards in relational databases. This is being addressed, but some oddities still exist.
Technolutions is rather nimble and responsive with updates and addressing needs.
- Slate has allowed our Admissions Department to use more forecasting tools to plan their strategies.
