Slate is an extraordinary tool. Its rapid adoption across higher ed has forever changed admissions, enrollment, and marketing operations—for the better. But it’s still just a tool. And making it perform the very specific tasks you need it to for your very specific institutional needs requires considerable human and technological resources.
Our Slate clients run the gamut—from operations, to
admissions, to enrollment marketing—from complex public
systems, to small private colleges, to two-year institutions.
As Slate consultants, we’re proud to meet every single
client where they are, to listen intently to their challenges
and hopes for the future, and to provide customized
solutions each and every time. Here’s a list of Technolutions Slate services we’ve provided recently:
Waybetter CEO
“Nothing we do is generic or off the rack. Instead, we approach every client engagement as the unique, one-off opportunity it is to do something great. That means building useful, elegant, lasting solutions that stand the test of time.”
Slate is powerful, but it’s not an enrollment strategy by itself. That’s why we developed proprietary Slate portal pages that bridge the gap between Slate as a database and Slate as a high-powered enrollment marketing engine.
Waybetter’s portal page strategy includes: interactive content modules that are 100% customized to each student, purpose-driven calls-to-action that change based on enrollment status, contemporary design consistent with your brand, plus innovative strategic elements to build enthusiasm, student community, and brand affinity
Slate can be overwhelming. It’s hard to know where to start and where to apply your limited time and resources. That’s why we begin partnerships with our comprehensive Slate audit—an evaluation of over 500 items, scored with our customized rubric.
The results of the audit will help you focus and triage areas of need. Among other objectives, the audit will ensure your communication flows are properly designed, that target audiences are properly configured, that your reports produce the necessary data to monitor your progress, and application workflows are implemented accurately.
Like all great CRMs, Slate can send the right message to the right student at the right time. But what should those messages say?
When should you send them? And how do you make sure they’re going to the right person? Waybetter builds custom comm flows directly in your Slate instance so you can communicate with students across the enrollment lifecycle. This includes email and text messaging for: event marketing, nurturing brand messaging, action-oriented messaging (apply, visit, deposit), and personal outreach from faculty and staff.
Once your Slate foundation is in place, keeping it running smoothly is a job in itself. Our Technolutions Slate support services are designed to help your team maintain, improve, and adapt your instance over time.
Our fully customizable support partnership begins with a discovery call to assess your current setup. From there, we assist with troubleshooting, data cleanup, asset maintenance, and training your team to work more confidently in Slate. Whether you need help clearing out the clutter or scaling up strategy, our Slate experts are ready to jump in.
They are absolute Slate gurus. As a community college we have a lot of complexities—and our internal processes are so detailed—but Waybetter came in, made suggestions, and built solutions. And the time that they were able to get it done was tremendous—they were just so fast, and they communicated with us the entire time. We couldn’t have gotten where we are today without their assistance.
We know our stuff. Watch, listen, and get in touch with us.
We’ll help you drive deposits.
Waybetter has been a Technolutions Slate Preferred Platinum Partner since that program’s inception.
Our team of Slate strategists and technologists build and optimize custom Slate solutions for your institution’s very specific needs. From super-powered portal pages, to custom comm flows, to rule-heavy reader bins, we’ll make Slate the workhorse tool you always hoped it could be.
