When I was at Dreamforce 2015, I was part of a panel that discussed how technology is changing higher education. While Saleforce is penetrating the administrative side of the house, it has yet to establish a presence on the academic side. Of course, the academic side is changing dramatically as co-curricular experiences are quickly becoming the new battleground in the hotly contested market for undergraduate students. This of course will require new ways of thinking about how we collect, aggregate, analyze and use data. Perhaps it will not be too long before Salesforce emerges as the one software platform to truly rule them all.
