Why Higher Ed is Moving to Salesforce Education Cloud and Education Data Architecture — and How StreamForce Can Help

The higher education landscape is rapidly changing, driven by technological advancements and evolving student expectations. Institutions are increasingly turning to Salesforce Education Cloud and Education Data Architecture (EDA) to modernize their operations and enhance student experiences. This shift not only streamlines processes but also allows for more personalized, data-driven decision-making that meets the needs of today’s diverse student population.

Salesforce Education Cloud offers a comprehensive, student-centric approach by integrating tools for admissions, enrollment, student services, and alumni relations. This holistic view of the student lifecycle enables institutions to deliver tailored support and engagement. At the core of this system is EDA, which standardizes educational data management, allowing institutions to unify and analyze data across various systems. This integration empowers educators to gain actionable insights that can improve student outcomes and foster more effective teaching strategies. Moreover, Salesforce enhances communication and collaboration among students, faculty, and staff, crucial in today’s hybrid learning environments.
