Cites ZogoTech's proven track record;
integration with Datatel Colleague
DALLAS, TX, April 5, 2007 -- ZogoTech, a leading provider of integrated
Student Engagement and Business Intelligence software for Higher Education,
announced that Richland College has selected ZogoTech's Student Engagement solution
for its Student Support Services department.
Richland College, winner of the 2005 Baldrige Award,
serves 14,000 college credit students and 5,000 continuing education students. Richland is
one of seven locations in the Dallas County
Community College District.
ZogoTech's
solution will help Richland better serve students through at-risk intervention,
consolidating data silos, centralizing contact notes, and linking those services to
learning outcomes such as graduation, retention, and transfer. ZogoTech's proven
integration with the school's ERP, Datatel Colleague, was especially appealing.
Currently, five of the colleges in the Dallas County Community College District
are using ZogoTech's Student Engagement solutions.
According to Myron Laster, Director of Student Support
Services, "We were pulling data from many different data silos.
ZogoTech's solution will allow us to run our own queries without having to
search around or ask other offices to get it from [Datatel] Colleague."
Michael Taft, President of ZogoTech, agreed: "In a school
that prides itself on making data-informed decisions, it is especially important
that everyone have quick access to consistent data. We're excited about
partnering with Richland to provide them with that."
Success with the Student Engagement module will help pave
the way for adoption of the other two modules: Research Intelligence and
Executive Intelligence. The Research Intelligence module allows
institutional researchers, deans, VPs, to quickly analyze data, perform
predictive analytics, run longitudinal cohort comparisons, and ad-hoc reports.
The upcoming Executive Intelligence module will allow Presidents and VPs to get
high-level views of their institution through balanced scorecards and dashboards
influenced from ideas from Richland College.
According to Laster, "We were looking for a program that could bring
together all of the components of student advising, at-risk intervention, and
queries. We have a one-stop shop in terms of service,
so we need to have all of the information about a student in one place.
ZogoTech's solution will give us that."
