In their own words
Slate
Slate is a cloud-based information management system and higher education CRM for admissions and enrollment, student success, and advancement operations. Admissions teams can manage applications, reading, decisions, texting, events, and data integrations. Student Success includes forms, queries, appointments, communications, portals, case workflows, and campus-system integrations. Slate for Advancement combines donor management, alumni relations, event management, communications, and automations with real-time data insights. Native capabilities include surveys, document management, payment processing, SMS, chatbots, portals, and microsites. Institutions can connect systems through scheduled web services, batched file transfers, or the API; listed integrations include Common App, Banner, PeopleSoft, and OnBase. Mobile-ready interfaces support iOS and Android. The maker says data is encrypted at rest and in transit, supports multifactor authentication and institutional single sign-on, and stores each institution in its own private database. Admissions pricing is based on annual application volume, starting at $30,000 a year for fewer than 1,500 applications. Advancement pricing starts at $50,000 a year for fewer than 2,500 active full-time undergraduate enrollment. Existing database use for Student Success has no additional cost; a separate Student Success license is $30,000 a year.
