Decision Matrix: Selecting an Institutional Performance Management Solution in Higher Education (Competitor Focus)

This report provides a comparative analysis of the leading IPM vendors in the higher education market in order to help institutions select an IPM solution based on its technology strength, reputation amongst end users and ability to influence the market.

Report Highlights
Vendors traditionally focused on the ERP and SIS market are now leveraging their ownership of the data to provide compelling, higher education-specific IPM solutions.

Aiming to fill an unmet need for lower-cost and more flexible IPM solutions that deploy rapidly, maverick vendors are taking new approaches to solution development and delivery.

When it comes to functionality, IPM solutions are diverse, offering institutions choice but also risking further confusion over what constitutes IPM.
