TargetX Adds to the Growing List of Colleges that Rely on Its CRM for Student Recruitment


CONSHOHOCKEN, Pa. — Higher education company TargetX has announced the addition of six schools that will use its cloud-based CRM system to improve the effectiveness and efficiency of their student recruitment and enrollment management.

Among the latest institutions to select TargetX’s “Recruitment CRM” are:

– Auburn University at Montgomery, in Alabama
– Birmingham-Southern College, also in Alabama
– College of Charleston, in South Carolina
– Concordia University – Portland, in Oregon
– Ferris State University, in Big Rapids, Michigan
– Pepperdine University, in Malibu, California

The Recruitment CRM is a groundbreaking Customer Relationship Management system that helps colleges manage, integrate and automate the process of student recruitment from the first point of contact through enrollment. Among its strengths is built-in electronic communication, including the leading email broadcasting tool in higher education marketing. It is also fully integrated with a powerful event manager and online application.

TargetX designed the system in 2008 on the proven Force.com platform of Salesforce.com, the worldwide leader in on-demand CRM and a pioneer in cloud computing. The result is a cloud-based system that is the most powerful, mobile and customizable recruiting tool in higher education.

Building on its success with recruitment, TargetX recently announced that it was expanding into the advancement and student-retention areas with two new CRM tools in the cloud. The introduction of “Advancement CRM” and “Retention CRM” means colleges can now take advantage of shared systems across the campus, becoming more efficient and cost-effective in their efforts to build relationships with key audiences.

“It’s exciting to see how many colleges are embracing change and opting for a cloud-based recruiting solution like TargetX’s CRM,” said the company’s CEO, Brian Wm. Niles. “It bodes well for our new student-retention and advancement tools since IT departments are looking for products that greatly improve efficiency, reduce costs and can be expanded across campus. And that’s what they can look forward to with our new Enterprise CRM.”
