FAIRFAX, Va.-(Business Wire)-September 23, 2009 - Morton College, near Chicago, has partnered with Datatel to create a Strategic Academic Enterprise that allows the College to concentrate more on their mission of student success and less on their technology infrastructure.

Under the agreement, Datatel will provide a host of software solutions and business consulting services that will help Morton College to address the entire student lifecycle—from recruitment to alumni relationships. The newly acquired Datatel technology and services will replace a SunGard Higher Education system used by the College.

“The selection committee reviewed several products and the College overwhelmingly chose Datatel,” said Dr. Leslie Navarro, President of Morton College. “Datatel’s strong reputation, support, and special features presented us the greatest value.”

Morton College is the 18th Illinois community college to partner with Datatel to utilize the unparalleled strength, capability, and flexibility of the company’s products and professional services. Furthermore, Morton is the ninth Illinois community college to choose Datatel in the past five years.

Morton College has licensed Datatel Colleague®, a technology solution specifically designed to manage and improve departmental workflows, business processes, productivity, and efficiency across the Strategic Academic Enterprise. The College has also licensed Datatel ActiveAdmissions, a comprehensive e-recruitment solution that transforms institutional websites into a personalized and engaging enrollment tool, and ActiveAlumni, an online one-to-one e-marketing vehicle that nurtures and sustains alumni relationships.

“With Datatel, we will be able to support better decision making, target our marketing efforts, fully inform our faculty and students, realize less costly business transactions, and fulfill state reporting requirements from a single source of truth,” said Navarro.

Datatel’s Strategic Academic Enterprise is a holistic approach for achieving institutional and student success: Strategic Enrollment Management, Strategic Planning, Institutional Advancement and Marketing, Teaching and Learning, and Performance and Operational Management.
