Slate, by Technolutions, is so much more powerful and easier to use than Banner. While we still use Banner for our current students, it wasn't enough for what we needed to do to reach our prospective student population. Especially with the communication options, Slate is lightyears ahead of what is possible with Banner.

BLOWS THEM OUT OF THE WATER. Slate has consolidated where we can create forms and the student records we can easily tie them to. Slate is so enrollment friendly because it was literally created with that use in mind. Once you go Slate it’ll be hard to ever go back. It’s the prime CRM for the job and it’s functionality for SMS and robo call campaigns allows us to easily reach students/parents through multiple avenues.

We chose Slate because it was customizable, provided accurate CRM data tracking and management, and was affordable. The software itself was updated and intuitive, which is something our previous CRM lacked. It had better reporting systems, easy set up and implementation across our institution, and the ability for applicants to monitor their own progress.

We used Ellucian recruit that is based on Microsoft Dynamics, I must say that Slate is much simpler to use and navigate for everyday user. While Dynamics is very powerful and robust tool it is really hard to navigate and keep track of campaigns and prospects. Slate is simplified version of dynamics and better suited for users who are in higher ed, while dynamics is more for "sales" in enterprise world. Education world is different.

Other products can provide what you need to do your job, but can make doing your job more difficult, or even time-consuming. Slate gives you the ability to do your job and to do it well. It creates a means of doing your job efficiently and in a timely manner, creating shortcuts and better processes than other products.
