“We are able to see our faculty shine in real time…We didn’t have that before. Before, when the provost wanted to present to our board of trustees on great faculty accomplishments, that meant emailing the dean to email the chair to email the faculty to try and figure out who’s done something great. Now in the provost’s office, we can run a report and have that data in front of us in minutes, which allows our provost a lot more ability to highlight the great things our faculty are doing. Our faculty then are able to leverage that same tool to show their great accomplishments for potential grant awards.” –
