The U.S. student information systems (SIS) market is showing signs of accelerated change. Institutions are evaluating and re-evaluating administrative systems including SIS for the first time in years, if not decades. Vendors report being overwhelmed with requests for information, demonstrations and new product proposals. Key themes driving 2013 SIS procurements were total cost of ownership, mobile, big data/analytics, student retention/student success, software-as-a-service (SaaS), cloud, security, and social/engagement.
Institutions continue to look for systems to enhance automation and self-service. Managing long-term costs, especially those associated with the SIS and other administrative systems, were key drivers for change. Costs associated with aging systems and systems that have been heavily customized are being targeted for reduction at an accelerated rate. This report is cumulative, providing a detailed overview of the higher education student information systems (SIS) market within the U.S.
The goal of the Student Information Systems U.S. Higher Education Market Share, Trends and Leaders report series is to convey important research about vendors providing SIS software solutions and services. We provide this information to better inform higher education institutions’ SIS purchasing and implementation decisions. There is a scarce amount of resources dedicated to presenting and analyzing specific SIS vendor selections made by institutions. As a result, institutions must fend for themselves to discern one SIS vendor from another in an industry where it can be challenging to make distinctions between vendors due to similar marketing messages. With that in mind, The Tambellini Group (TTG) founded and designed this series of reports to provide institutions with critical overviews of SIS vendors and selections made by institutions that are not available elsewhere in this level of detail. The report explores a vast and complex set of data, ultimately making it accessible and easier to digest. A summary for each SIS vendor focuses on specific strengths.
Additionally, the report examines the SIS choices higher education institutions have made in recent years in order to illuminate emerging selection patterns. TTG’s extensive research captures the key aspects of the SIS selection process,
including institution type, institution size, systems replaced and SIS add-on solutions. Higher education institutions use this report as a valuable resource to evaluate SIS trends and vendors before making SIS selections. Institutions also use this report to better understand the choices that peer institutions make by institution size and type.
In 2014, TTG’s research includes the addition of vendor implementation partner options where appropriate. While some vendors offer vendor implementation, others prefer to partner with a network of consulting services firms. Institutions are advised to review the vendor implementation approach carefully in light of each institution’s culture and requirements.
This report updates TTG’s 2013 Student Information Systems U.S. Higher Education Market Share, Trends and Leaders report published April 2013. The focus of this report is the 2013 SIS landscape, market share and trends, and a review of SIS vendors selected most often by institutions in the U.S. The SIS data points analyzed in this report are derived from the TTG Education Institution Technology Profile Database™, which is the world’s most comprehensive catalog of over 53,300 education technology selections made by institutions worldwide. The Education Institution Technology Profile Database™ contains validated SIS records for more than 5,400 U.S. higher education institutions, which includes both accredited and non-accredited schools.
Executive Summary
“ In 2013 the majority of purchasing
decisions were made by institutions
that had less than XXXX students,
had requirements for term and
non-term based enrollment and
used partners for implementation.”

The total size of the Education Institution Technology Profile Database™ exceeds 18,100 global institutions, including categories such as most recent systems selected for human resources, financial systems, learning management systems, CRM, student success, enrollment management, financial aid, advancement/alumni systems, student/faculty/staff email, library systems, and more.
The TTG 2014 SIS Market Trends Report identifies and explores the following major points:• Institutionswithenrollmentsizeoflessthanxxxxstudents
continued to make more SIS decisions in 2013 than anyother institution size range regardless of the institutiontype.
• In2013therewasanoticeableincreaseinthenumberofSIS selections in mid-sized institutions with an enrollmentrange of xxxx to xxxx students.
• TheXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX institutiontypemade moreSIS selections in 2013 than any otherinstitution type.
• Thelargestgrowthsegmentin2013withinthehighereducation market is in xxxxxx institutions.
• Thenumberofprivate,for-profitinstitutionsmakingSIS selections experienced a decrease of xx% in 2013.
• Vendorpreferencesareclearincertainmarketsegments.
Some of the most critical findings in this report include:• HighereducationSISselectionsaretrendingtoward
institutions that have enrollments of less than xxxxstudents.
• TheSISmarketisshowingsignsofgrowthafterbottoming out in xxxx.
• Withtheexpansivegrowthofcontinuingeducation,workforce development programs, and distance learning,the landscape within higher education is shifting awayfrom a primarily traditional learning environment.
• SISandotheradministrativesolutionsforhighereducationare at the beginning of a new technology life-cycle basedon cloud solutions.
• Newcloudsolutionsareemergingandthelandscapewillcontinue to adjust over the next 3-5 years as new solutionsare delivered.
The total number of SIS selections in the U.S. were made up primarily of institutions with less than xxxx students. xxxxxx was awarded more SIS contracts than any other vendor in 2013. xxxxx is the leading vendor in 2013 among all size institutions procuring a new SIS. Each of the vendors is selected for particular strengths by the institutions that prefer their solutions.
Now in its sixth (6th) year, this annual report shows that every year the top group of vendors selected by institutions is made up of a core group of providers. Each year the top vendor for the year is determined more by the number of institutions that make decisions by institution size and type rather than by changes in vendor product or strategy. For example, in 2013 the majority of the decisions were made by institutions that had less than xxxx students, had requirements for term and non-term based enrollment, and used partners for implementation. Many of the institutions were also xxxxxx. xxxxxxxxxxxxxx is most often selected by private, for-profit institutions and easily maintains the position of market share leader in that category.

The body of the report delves further into this research, shedding light on the new product offerings, services, and add-on products and services that have contributed to higher education institutions’ SIS selections of each vendor solution in 2013. Institutions may use this report to more easily determine the vendor SIS solutions most often selected by other, similar institutions. In every segment, higher education institutions demonstrate certain vendor preferences.

TTG’s definition of the U.S. higher education market includes all accredited and unaccredited postsecondary institutions and schools. The TTG Education Institution Technology Profile Database™ is the world’s most comprehensive catalog of over 18,100 worldwide institutions, including over 10,150 U.S. education institutions. TTG currently has SIS data for more than 5,400 U.S. higher education institutions. Figure 1 shows the percentage of U.S. SIS institutions tracked by TTG by sector of institution.
TTG Higher Education Market Definition
The TTG database includes institutions that are listed in the Higher Education Publications, Inc. Higher Education Directory (HED) and the U.S. Department of Education’s Integrated Postsecondary Education Data System (IPEDS), as well as institutions that are not included by either of these entities. The HED publishes the list of accredited institutions. IPEDS gathers information from every college, university, and technical and vocational institution that participates in federal student financial aid programs. The Higher Education
Figure 1: Percentage of TTG SIS Institutions by Sector of Institution
Act of 1965, as amended, requires that institutions that participate in federal student aid programs report data on enrollments, program completions, graduation rates, faculty and staff, finances, institutional prices, and student financial aid.
Higher education is in a constant state of transition with ever-changing student expectations. Schools continue to deviate from the traditional learning model typically seen in liberal arts schools to a more unconventional, career-oriented approach that accommodates adult, working, and underserved students. The proliferation of private, for-profit, and less than two-year schools, coupled with changing student needs, have had an impact on the U.S. higher education landscape.
Individuals interested in data from TTG are often reviewing market opportunity, education trends, technology adoption in higher education, and overall issues affecting procurements and investments in technology related to education of all types. As a result, the TTG Education Institution Technology Profile Database™ includes all types of institutions, regardless of size and accreditation status.
In addition to research reports, TTG utilizes research data to inform education executives and to deliver individual institution technology profiles to clients. Executives utilize data to compare peer institution records, to educate boards, trustees, and investors, and to reduce risk. Research is conducted from the perspective of the institution decision-maker and is developed to answer questions such as: Which vendor solutions have my colleagues recently selected? and How many other institutions with my basic institution profile have made the decision that I am considering?
By monitoring the selections made by institutions of all sizes and types, TTG is able to report on details unavailable from any other source. For example, in addition to the selection made by each institution, TTG tracks the vendor replaced and when selections are made. Over time, reports are available to indicate which vendor solution is most often selected when a vendor is replaced. The TTG Education Institution Technology Profile Database™ is updated on a daily basis, so report results and comparisons are subject to change as new information is validated and recorded.

U.S. Higher Education Market OverviewAccording to the U.S. National Center for Education Statistics (NCES) and the National Student Clearinghouse Research Center, student enrollment in degree-granting post-secondary institutions experienced minor decreases in both 2012 and 2013, after reaching a record high of 21 million students in 2010-2011. It is estimated that higher education student enrollment decreased by 1.8% in fall 2012 from fall 2011, and 1.5% in fall 2013 from fall 20121. The enrollment decreases are largely attributed to a smaller number of high school graduates after a decade of growth, and a decrease in the number of adult learners who left college because they have gained or re-gained employment.
The institution types largely affected by this year’s decrease in student enrollment are private, for-profit and public, 2-year institutions. According to the National Student Clearinghouse, there are strong indications that traditional private, not-for-profit institutions will begin to contract starting in 2013-2014. Changing higher education student enrollment demographics are being influenced by a decrease in the number of high school graduates, an increase in the number of international students, a continuing trend toward the non-traditional adult learners, and an increase in ethnically diverse students. Looking forward, the NCES projects that total student enrollment in post-secondary institutions will increase by approximately XX% between 2011 and 20212.
TTG research shows that in 2012 the private, for-profit institution segment was the largest institution type making SIS selections, garnering 52% or 76 selections. In 2013 the largest institution type making SIS selections was xxxxxx, xxxxxxxxxxxxxx x-year institutions with xx% market share or xx SIS selections. Public institutions collectively garnered xx% of the SIS selections with xx SIS selections in public two-year institutions and xx SIS selections in public four-year institutions. Public less-than-2-year institutions made xxx SIS selections. According to the National Association of State Budget Officers, state fiscal conditions are modestly improving in fiscal 2014 with spending and revenues projected to rise above fiscal 2013 levels3. This combined with new technology advances is creating opportunities in higher education that will provide institutions with increased productivity and could also contribute to the growth of increased SIS placements.

As shown in Table 1 and predicted in the TTG 2013 Market Trends report, the number of SIS procurements in U.S. higher education showed continued growth in 2013, after bottoming out in xxxx. The number of U.S. SIS selections increased xx% in 2013 over 2012. While the increase in 2012 SIS selections was attributed to the growth of the private, for-profit sector, which comprised xx% of the institutions making SIS selections, the 2013 increase is the result of growth
in the private, not-for-profit sector claiming collectively xx% of the SIS selections, and the public sector, claiming xx% of the SIS selections. This was in line with TTG 2013 market predictions. Public institutions were evenly represented in 2013 with public, four-year institutions claiming xxxxxxxx percent and public, two-year institutions claiming xxxxxx percent of the total SIS selections. Public, less-than-two-year institutions accounted for xxxxx percent of the total SIS selections in 2013.
Market Trends for SIS 2013 Purchases
Table 1: Estimated Number of U.S. Institutions Making a New SIS Selection*
The xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx was awarded three large multi-campus contracts that made a significant impact on the SIS annual landscape in 2013. xxxxxx was selected by the xxxxxxxxxxxxxx for Community & Technical Colleges, which is rolling out xxxxxxxxxxxx across xxxxxxxx campuses in the state. xxxxxxx University selected xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx for their campus-wide SIS, replacing several disparate student systems in sixteen schools across the institution. In addition, xxxxxxx was awarded a large contract at xxxxxxxxxxxx University, where it will be deployed across xxxxxxxxx campuses.
The institution types that made SIS selections in 2013 differed from those that made selections in previous years. The institutions making SIS selections in 2013 trended more toward traditional learning institutions. In 2013 seventy-five percent of the institutions selecting a SIS were traditional learning institutions, as compared to 2012, with only forty-eight percent. The increase in the number of selections in 2013 by traditional learning institutions represents the beginning of a market rebound predicted by TTG in the 2013 SIS Market Trends report. This also attests to higher education industry reports that show a decrease in student enrollment in private, for-profit institutions in 2013.
In the private, for-profit arena, the majority of schools making SIS selections were less-than-two-year schools, which accounted for xx% of the total 2013 SIS selections. While there was a decrease in the number of xxxxxxx institutions making SIS selections in 2013, non-degree granting, certificate-based programs continue to attract students. The xxxxxxxxxxx sector of higher education has a different student base with different operating procedures, business processes and requirements. This parlays into the notion that a solution that serves the traditional learning market extremely well may not be the best fit for a xxxxxxxxxxxx institution. Since both traditional learning and non-traditional learning institutions may use this report to inform future SIS evaluations, TTG started to provide SIS selection data in greater detail in the 2013 report.
Private, not-for-profit institutions accounted for xx% of the 2013 market share with xxxxxxxx SIS selections. Institutions in this sector included religious-based schools, distance learning schools, and private liberal arts institutions. Private, not-for-profit- four-year and above institutions claimed the largest not-for-profit representation with xx% of the total 2013 SIS selections.

As depicted in Table 2, U.S. higher education institutions seeking new SIS software continue to favor those schools with enrollments of less than 2,500 students. However, in 2013 there was more activity in mid-tier schools than in the previous four years. In 2012 eighty-two percent of the total SIS selections were made by institutions with enrollments of less than 2,500 students, as compared to 2013 with xxxxxxxx percent. Mid-tier institutions ranging in enrollment size
from 2,500 students to 9,999 students comprised xxxxxxxx percent of the total 2013 SIS selections versus eleven percent in 2012. SIS vendors xxxxxx and xxxxxxxx were selected most often in 2013 by mid-tier institutions with respectively xxxxxxxxxx and xxxxx selections. The number of SIS selections in schools with less than xxxxx students is highly influenced by the xxxxxxxxxx institution type, which tends to average less than xxxxxx students per campus.

Market Trends for SIS 2013 Purchases (cont.)Figure 2: Comparison of 2013 SIS Placements With and Without Private, For-Profit
Source: TTG Research and Education Institution Technology Profile Database™
Over the last few decades student enrollment in U.S. post-secondary education has increased exponentially. During this time the market for student systems reached a mature state. Up until the last twelve months most vendor SIS product offerings have been primarily centered around on-premise student solutions that have matured into the “laggard” stage of the technology adoption bell curve depicted in Figure 3. A down
economy starting in 2008-2009 and requirements to support non-traditional learning has caused many institutions to re-evaluate how they can use different service models in an effort to respond to reduced budgets and new teaching modalities. Higher education institutions are now actively looking at all types of deployment options that include: on-premise, hosted, managed, SaaS, and a combination thereof.

Research data for this report was compiled by TTG and includes vendor sales through December 31, 2013. TTG maintains, updates, and delivers the most comprehensive database of institution technology profiles available. The company began tracking this data in 2001 in response to client requests, and today provides data to global organizations and institutions. TTG gathers and maintains publicly available data on SIS selections from a variety of sources, including press releases, institution materials (i.e. project websites and presentations), news articles, and vendor case studies. TTG conducts primary research including surveys and interviews with institutions. Institutions provide updates to technology profiles through online research portals on various websites.
While other firms have historically provided some information and opinions regarding market trends, the data to support these opinions has typically been provided by vendors minus detailed customer lists or by survey responses, which have limited response rates. Without the benefit of detailed, verified technology profiles, institutions, vendors, consultants and financial analysts were generally left on their own to try and find enough critical technology data to support important decisions. TTG’s Education Institution Technology Profile Database™ is used by institutions to find peers with similar technology implementations, for benchmarking comparisons, and vendor references. Vendors, consultants, financial analysts, investors and venture capitalists also utilize the database to gain insight into market share data and other facts about vendor sales history that are not available from any other single source. Prior to the availability of this database, it was difficult to track and understand market share data by vendor and vendor product. The 2014 report was informed by interviews with the top vendor representatives. TTG thanks the following software
vendors for participating in the research: Campus Management CorporationJenzabarEllucianFAMEKauli FoundationOracleRJM SONISWEBThree Rivers SystemsUNIT4Workday
In every case, vendors provided detailed and helpful updates including product roadmap plans. TTG wishes to especially thank the vendors for taking time to comment on market trends and issues.
TTG also interviewed implementation partners for Oracle and Workday for this report. The list of Oracle implementation partners profiled is a partial list. The list of Workday implementation partners profiled is a complete list. The individual institution profile data is accessible on edu1world.org, which is powered by software from Enterprise Hive, LLC. Since 2008, institutions have been self-reporting purchases and updating their own technology profiles via edu1world.org for easy cataloging and retrieval of information. This is especially helpful for institutions that wish to maintain an inventory of technology purchases without dedicating internal resources for managing data. In April 2014, The Tambellini Group analyzed more than 1,000 responses to a targeted survey to higher education decision makers and buyer/influencers which provided additional information and insight for this report.
