“Unit4 and Three Rivers Systems will combine to create a strong contender within the next-generation student information system market
…Unit4 would then be able to contend with Workday and take away market share from legacy players such as Campus Management, Ellucian, Jenzabar, Oracle and Tribal Group”
”If the company continues to build momentum, it will be the first
to bring a complete cloud-native student information system (SIS) to market and will be the “one to watch” in the competitive landscape.
A number of Unit4 customers have stated that the company has gone above and beyond, moving away from being a software
vendor and toward becoming a true partner that understands the needs of higher education institutions.
Unit4 deserves full credit for architecting a product that is
accelerating the SIS modernization trend.”

3. Does it meet the needs of both traditional & non-traditional learners?
4. Does it provide CRM capabilities across the entire institution?
5. Is it flexible to adapt to your current and future needs?
6. Does it have actionable retention solutions inside the framework?
7. Does it have an integrated ERP?
8. Is it true cloud architecture?
9. Does it provide a “touch first” mobile and consumer-grade experience for students and staff?
10. Does it offer a rich API layer?
