We officially purchased a Salesforce Marketing Cloud account for marketing automation. We are working with consultants from Balance Digital Marketing, based out of Indianapolis, to migrate the Ross Marketing and Communications email campaigns from their current system.

We are also working on finalizing contracts for an ETL tool (Extract, Transform, Load), which basically lets us load data from other sources, like MPathways, and translates it into a standardized format for easy reporting in Salesforce.

The transformation of MPathways student data for admissions and recruiting is underway which will provide student contact information and application data in Salesforce. Our goal is to provide a 360 degree view of prospective student email campaigns, event attendance, application status and general program interest all in one system.
