CEdMA Honors Ellucian as Leader in Educational Services with 2017 Impact Award

SANTA CLARA, Calif.--()--The Computer Education Management Association (CEdMA), a professional networking organization for training executives, managers, and professionals in technology companies, today announced that Ellucian Global Education Services is the recipient of the 2017 CEdMA Impact Award for their impact in driving customer adoption and value.

The CEdMA Impact Award seeks to recognize a CEdMA member company that shows a demonstrable impact from their training program to their company results. The Ellucian Global Education Services team has been recognized for launching the Ellucian Rapid Deployment Methodology, which simplifies the implementation experience and packages education with professional services. In addition, the team designed a learning strategy and implemented an internal training program to fully change behaviors regarding deployment across the board.

The Ellucian Global Education Services team’s goal was to reduce time to value, decrease cost, and improve the Ellucian customer experience. The metrics speak for themselves – 60 percent faster customer implementations, a significant increase in their Net Promoter Score (from 19 percent to 28 percent promoters), and a 50 percent reduction in cost of ownership for their customers. An unexpected benefit of the project was a reinvigorated Global Education Services team, with a new purpose: student success. This new focus spawned the creation of noteworthy initiatives including evolved instructional design strategies, global expansion, and credentialing programs.

“We firmly believe that customers who spend less time implementing a system can spend more time serving their students, that is why we made the fundamental shift to a rapid deployment methodology, allowing our customers to quickly realize and leverage the value in their technology,” said Ellucian Director of Global Education Services, Melissa Majors. “We are honored that CEdMA has recognized our hard work and ability to achieve successful outcomes for our customers.”

Pat Durante, President of CEdMA, commented, “Ellucian Global Education Services has clearly demonstrated that training programs can have a direct impact on key business drivers well beyond training revenue and margin. Beyond substantial improvements to traditional training results, they have delivered measurable impact on everything from time-to-value, to customer loyalty (NPS), to a lower total cost of ownership for their customers. They are a shining example of what we at CEdMA believe is the higher mission of education services: driving company and customer success. On behalf of CEdMA, congratulations on receiving the 2017 Impact Award.”

The Ellucian Global Education Services team will showcase the impact it delivered during the annual CEdMA Training Leadership Conference this October. To learn more about Ellucian and start your path to becoming an Ellucian expert, visit the Ellucian website: http://www.ellucian.com/.
