What is the experience like for teams switching to Slate by Technolutions from another tool?

Teams switch to Slate by Technolutions when previous systems feel outdated, lack admissions-specific tools, or leave recruitment and application work spread across multiple platforms. Prior systems mentioned include admissions CRMs and enrollment tools such as Salesforce, Ellucian PowerCampus, Jenzabar, Hobsons, and CAMS, as well as document and legacy systems. The move can bring admissions data, applications, and communications together, but configuration and learning the system take effort, so teams benefit from planning implementation and having people available to support it.

Expanding integration options and making data exchange with other systems more straightforward.
Improving mobile access and the flexibility to customize the user experience.
Adding options such as automatic logging for text campaigns and staff task management.
