Data Analytics Platform

One set of numbers everyone can trust - including AI.

Unify every campus system and transform the raw data with your own definitions - so anyone, from the president to an advisor, can pull the answer themselves.

One picture of every student. SIS, LMS, CRM, NSC and 20+ more sources, reconciled into a single real-time record.
Your definitions, not a national model. Hundreds of pre-built calculations turn raw data into research-grade metrics configured to match how your college counts.
Any point in time, in seconds. Compare this term to the same day last year from nightly snapshots, with no report to rebuild.
Answers in minutes - no SQL, no IR ticket. Self-service, role-based access for every role, from KPIs down to the student(s) behind them.

Pathways Analytics

No student or earned credential slips through the cracks.

Catch all of the finished students still waiting to be awarded, the off-path terms about to be wasted, and the credentials sitting one course away. All of it, up to date, available within seconds, and off your live SIS.

Every student, checked against every credential. Each student is measured against every degree, certificate, and stackable credential in your catalog - so a completion can never hide.
Scheduling that follows real demand. See which required courses students need and which sections will fill, before you build the schedule.
Off-path, caught before it costs a term. Flag students that register for courses that won't count toward their goal while there's still time to move them back.
The ones who left, a few credits from finishing. Reach each stop-out with a message built on exactly what they still need to come back.

Student Engagement

A complete picture of every student - while there’s still time to act.

Every touch point a student leaves across campus lands in one place, in the hands of the people who can act on it. Spot who’s slipping, reach them in time to keep them on path, and learn what actually worked.

No office working from half the story. Grades, attendance, aid, and every past contact in one profile, visible to everyone who touches that student.
At-risk alerts on your definition of risk. Flag the students slipping by your rules, not a generic national score, early enough to matter.
The outreach list, in minutes. Advisors pull exactly who needs a call this week themselves - no IT ticket, no IR request.
Proof your interventions actually worked. Run an intervention on a cohort and see whether persistence moved. Keep what works, drop what doesn't.

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about ZogoTech, answered.

Who is ZogoTech?

ZogoTech is the data analytics company built exclusively for community colleges. We connect every campus system into one trusted source of data and turn it into answers any staff member can act on - from a college-wide trend down to a single student. Underneath, we provide the data warehouse, the community college metrics and definitions, and the governance that would otherwise take a college years to build. We have done this, and only this, since 2003.

Who is ZogoTech for?

Community colleges, and everyone in them who relies on data to make a decision. A president or board sees college-wide trends and outcomes; institutional research answers questions in minutes instead of weeks; advisors, success coaches, and enrollment teams find and reach the exact students who need them. If your institution is a community college with more data than time, it is built for you.

Why does ZogoTech focus on community colleges?

Of children born in the 1940s, about 90% went on to earn more than their parents; for those born in the 1980s, it fell to roughly half. Research on economic mobility, including work by Raj Chetty, points to broad-access higher education - colleges that admit nearly everyone and then work to make them succeed - as the most scalable way to rebuild that opportunity, and that is exactly what community colleges do, with affordable, career-aligned education. ZogoTech is a mission-driven company; many of us were first-generation students, immigrants, or the first in our families to reach the middle class - so our focus is on helping these colleges move more students along that path.

Should we build our own data platform instead of buying one?

Pooling your data into one place is the comparatively easy part. The hard part is everything that makes the numbers trustworthy: hundreds of community college calculations, shared definitions, data lineage, point-in-time history, and governance, all maintained as state and federal rules change. Building that is a multi-year effort that pulls IT and institutional research off their real work, while ZogoTech delivers it already built and kept current across more than 100 colleges. Most colleges find that buying is faster, lower-risk, and less expensive once the true cost of building is counted.

Does ZogoTech replace our SIS, BI tools, or IR team?

No. It makes them better. ZogoTech sits on top of the systems you already run, unifying their data rather than replacing them, and your existing BI tools can read directly from it. It does not replace your institutional research team either; it removes the manual report-building that consumes them, so a lean office can answer far more questions. Colleges describe the effect as an IR office in your desktop - the capacity of additional analysts without additional hires.

Which community colleges use ZogoTech?

ZogoTech partners with more than 100 community colleges across 200+ campuses - from small rural institutions to large, multi-campus districts. Its partners include Aspen Prize finalists and Achieving the Dream Leaders of Distinction, alongside colleges simply determined to do more with the data they already have. Serving community colleges since 2003, institutions such as Odessa College, Stanly Community College, Chattanooga State Community College, and College of the Siskiyous use it to graduate more students, raise retention, and cut the hours they spend on reporting.
