Overall Satisfaction with Technolutions Slate
It is being used by our Admissions Dept. There is some use by other offices: Pharmacy/PA, Fine Arts, Financial Aid.
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.
- Slate has allowed our Admissions Department to use more forecasting tools to plan their strategies.
We had been on Recruitment Plus- it has been sunsetted, so we were forced to move. I also looked at Fire Engine Red. Slate seemed far and away the most robust CRM/Admissions solution.
