How well institutions understand their students is critical to the success of student engagement and retention in today's data-driven academic environment. But what occurs if duplicate records and disjointed systems prevent that understanding? Identity resolution in education then becomes revolutionary—and GetOnCRM, a trusted Salesforce consulting company, is here to set the standard.
Identity Resolution: An Overview and Its Significance in Education
Connecting information from various systems—such as learning platforms, alumni portals, support tools, and admissions systems—to create a single, cohesive student profile is known as identity resolution. It ensures that a student's interactions with both digital and physical touchpoints are precisely linked to a single, reliable identity.
Institutions must deal with:
Inconsistent or redundant student records
Communication gaps between departments
Difficulty tracking behavioral and academic progress
Compliance concerns with FERPA, GDPR, and other privacy regulations
This is why more educational institutions are leveraging Salesforce Data Cloud implementation services and Salesforce Marketing Cloud development services to deliver smarter, more connected student experiences.
