Modern Campus

“I like that Modern Campus CMS is flexible and intuitive enough for people in various departments to add their information and make the pages meet their own needs aesthetically. And they don’t have to know HTML to do it.”

“I like the SaaS version of Modern Campus CMS because I know that our servers are being maintained by the experts at Modern Campus, which takes the stress off of our IT team. I also like Modern Campus CMS over an open source solution because there is an extra feeling of security. I want to make sure I don’t get a call at 2 am saying the website is down. I have comfort knowing that the system is solid and proprietary, and that Modern Campus professionals who know the ins and outs of the system are there if I need them.”

“Students are basically already addicted to adding things to their calendars. I hear it every day; they’re so excited about how easy it is and what’ll mean for them student orgs and individual learning moving forward. Oh and I love love love that we had a lot of aesthetic control in how our portal was built, in what it looks like. I know that that’ll be huge in other departments getting on-board, too.”

“Franklin, our Happiness Expert, is a phenomenal partner. It’s more than just a business relationship. We’ve developed this very professional friendship in which we frequently catch up on life and what’s going on. But also because of his in-depth student affairs knowledge, when I’m trying to figure out how we can meet a challenge, adapt to a different way of working, or create a solution in Involve , he’s right there with me. He has the forethought to offer great ideas that are realistic, too.”

“Once students get a hold of the Involve mobile app, they get really excited. They gush about things like ‘Oh, I can add things to my calendar! I can look every day and see what’s going on on campus. I can plug the whole week in!’ The student buy-in has been amazing.”

“Students who couldn’t participate at all are now able to! No one is ‘too busy’ because our programs are too flexible to accept that as an excuse. Involve has made all the difference in making virtual engagement a benefit, rather than a barrier.”

“Modern Campus CMS made my job easier—so easy that by implementing the CMS, half of my job responsibilities went away,”

“The experience using Modern Campus CMS is amazing, a complete 180 from our old Joomla CMS. Modern Campus CMS is so much friendlier and we feel confident letting people into the CMS because we know they can’t break it.”

“The reactions have been extremely positive,”

“This was such an important step in the process, and one that is pretty much free,”

“We weren’t even close to being accessible with our old site,”

“A ton of community colleges use Modern Campus CMS, and the fact that Modern Campus is focused exclusively on higher ed sold us. We have worked with big firms in the past and didn’t feel that they understood how a community college really works. Plus, I called the references they listed in their proposal along with about 15 other schools using Modern Campus CMS, and we heard the same thing over and over: Modern Campus has the best customer support in the industry. It really pushed them to the top.”

“Modern Campus CMS fit the bill for what we were looking for,”

““Our system is much more user friendly, and we focus a lot of our attention and efforts on creating a positive student experience.””

““We’ll be able to customize the look and the feel of each company’s portal, and give our clients access to it,” he added. “It’s going to be another selling tool for us as we work with employers in Northeast Ohio, because it’s going to make life easier for the human resource manager—who is our customer and point of contact.””

““The Corporate Engagement Manager will allow the HR manager to have a view of what courses their employees are already taking,” said Peterson. “It will allow them to register employees directly, and see who’s completed their certificates, and who has not.””

““We're now three years in, and we've seen a 34% enrollment increase,” Moir said, adding that the system enables staff to dedicate more time and energy to serving what they consider their mission: workforce education.”

““In less than six months, we’ve seen an increase in the number of students that are registering online using Destiny One,” said Peterson. “That’s an early positive indicator.””

““If I have people that are angry, we have to talk them off the ledge, calm them down, and then get them registered for a class,” Peterson said. “How many people don’t call and just walk away and go to another college to take a workforce training non-credit class? We can’t capture that but, intuitively, I know that we were losing students because people just got fed up.””

““Ultimately, we were able to change resistors into team players.””

““There are a lot of capabilities in the Destiny One system that are very exciting and of great interest and potential use for our users,” said Peterson. “Once they saw how it would enhance the student experience, make their jobs easier, and help grow our enrollment, people started coming on board.””

““The primary user was the non-credit workforce training area, but we had all these other smaller ancillary areas within the college that all needed to be able to use the system,””

““We heavily rely upon Banner to operate and manage our college, so integration with the main campus ERP was very important for us,” said Peterson. “The fact that Destiny One has a track record of successfully integrating with Banner—and given that we were able to verify the depth of the integration through the due diligence process—gave us a certain level of comfort partnering with Modern Campus.””

““If Destiny One didn’t integrate with Banner, it would have created a two-step process where student registration and financial information would not automatically migrate into Banner—it would have to be downloaded and then uploaded,” he said. “This is an inefficient process with the constant possibility of errors.””

““Over two years, we have had a 64% increase in people registering online since we've implemented,””
