Overall Satisfaction with Slate, by Technolutions
Slate is our prospective student information system. We use it to collect and manage prospective student data, campus visits and events, applications for admission and scholarships, and communications to students and parents. We started with our undergraduate programs and have recently expanded to include our graduate programs, as well. It also helps us to track our enrollment goals in real-time with powerful query and reporting tools.
Pros
- Queries and reports.
- Drip marketing.
- Student data management.
- Event management.
- Application review.
Cons
- Customer service.
- Training and user support.
- Including print mailings in drip marketing.
- YOY reporting.
- Increased enrollment.
- Increased student engagement with admissions counselors.
- Increased event and campus visit attendance.
- Increased email campaign performance.
- Decreased time spent on data management.
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.

Yes - I don't use it often, but the Slate mobile app seems to work pretty well. Our institution uses SSO (single sign on) and it is able to accommodate that kind of login. Once I'm logged in, I'm able to view student data and run queries and reports pretty easily on the go. Other functions are less easy to use in the mobile app; however, most of the time, I'm only using the app to find and view student data, so it works well for me.
