A Challenging Landscape
With the boom of new technologies and the rapid adoption of new engagement approaches, every industry is going through somewhat of a digital transformation. Business schools included. These shifts, coupled the decline in MBA programmes and increased student expectations around personalisation and communication, make the business school landscape even more competitive. Business schools can no longer rely on traditional methods and systems for engaging candidates and students. They need to transform in order to deliver on-point and innovative business education, and to exceed student and market expectations. Student success is about going above and beyond at every stage of the student journey. At Salesforce.org, our mission is the same as yours: to help students succeed. We partner with trailblazing business schools to drive transformation with the world’s best technology. Here’s what we’ve achieved together.

With Education Cloud, you have a centralised view of every interaction which enables teams to collaborate seamlessly together to deliver personalised 1-1 messages that centre around the candidate’s needs.
Student Success
Deliver a world class student experience
Students, and business schools alike, invest a lot of time and resources in order to maximise their educational impact. If a student has a negative experience, doesn’t graduate or doesn’t find a job quickly, everyone pays the price. A focus on student success is critical to growing your business school, as well as your brand internationally. Education Cloud provides you with a 360-degree student view to deliver engaging and personalised student experiences, offer frictionless and individualised service on multiple devices, and helps your teams to cultivate a thriving student community.
