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:
• Institutions with enrollment size of less than xxxx students
continued to make more SIS decisions in 2013 than any
other institution size range regardless of the institution
type.
• In 2013 there was a noticeable increase in the number of
SIS selections in mid-sized institutions with an enrollment
range of xxxx to xxxx students.
• The XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX institution type
made more SIS selections in 2013 than any other
institution type.
• The largest growth segment in 2013 within the higher
education market is in xxxxxx institutions.
• The number of private, for-profit institutions making
SIS selections experienced a decrease of xx% in 2013.
• Vendor preferences are clear in certain market segments.
Some of the most critical findings in this report include:
• Higher education SIS selections are trending toward
institutions that have enrollments of less than xxxx
students.
• The SIS market is showing signs of growth after
bottoming out in xxxx.
• With the expansive growth of continuing education,
workforce development programs, and distance learning,
the landscape within higher education is shifting away
from a primarily traditional learning environment.
• SIS and other administrative solutions for higher education
are at the beginning of a new technology life-cycle based
on cloud solutions.
• New cloud solutions are emerging and the landscape will
continue to adjust over the next 3-5 years as new solutions
are 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 Overview
According 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.
“ In 2013 the largest
institution type making
SIS selections was xxxxxxx,
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
institutions with xx% or
xx SIS selections.”

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.

*The 2014 report is based on available 2013 SIS selection data. SIS market data is subject to final verification and updates. The TTG Database contains SIS selection data for approximately
1,800 institutions for which the actual purchase year is estimated or unknown. If the purchase date is unknown, the selection is not included for calculating vendor selections in 2013.

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.

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 Corporation
Jenzabar
Ellucian
FAME
Kauli Foundation
Oracle
RJM SONISWEB
Three Rivers Systems
UNIT4
Workday
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.
