Improve Student Outcomes and Institutional Efficiency with AI-Powered Salesforce
Mirketa helps higher education institutions, K-12 districts, and EdTech companies unify student data, streamline admissions, and improve retention with Salesforce Education Cloud and AI. From early alert systems that flag at-risk students to alumni donor management — we build the connected systems that let your staff focus on students, not spreadsheets.
The Data and Process Problems That Hold Educational Institutions Back
These are the operational and student success challenges we hear from Provosts, VP Student Affairs, Registrars, and IT Directors at universities, community colleges, and K-12 districts every week.
Siloed Student Data Across SIS, LMS, and Support Systems
Your Student Information System has enrollment and grades. Your LMS has attendance and assignment completion. Your advising system has meeting notes. Your financial aid system has holds. None of these systems share data automatically — so advisors are manually piecing together a student's situation from four different logins every time a concern is raised. By the time they have the full picture, the student may already be planning to leave.
Manual Admissions and Enrollment Processes Creating Drop-Off
Prospective students who submit an inquiry and then wait days for a response often choose a competitor who responded in hours. Manual application review, document collection, and enrollment confirmation processes create friction at every step — and each friction point is a place where a prospective student quietly stops engaging. Institutions with manual admissions workflows typically lose 20 to 30 percent of qualified prospects to process delays alone.
No Early Alert System for At-Risk Student Identification
Most institutions identify at-risk students when a professor flags a concern or when a student fails a midterm — by which point the student is already significantly disengaged. Without an automated early alert system that monitors attendance, LMS engagement, and grade trends simultaneously, advisors are always reacting to problems rather than preventing them. Students who feel unsupported at the first sign of struggle are the ones who do not return for the next semester.
Donor and Alumni Management Spread Across Disconnected Tools
Your advancement office is managing major gift prospects in one spreadsheet, annual fund donors in another, event attendees in a third, and alumni engagement in a legacy database that has not been updated in years. Without a unified donor and alumni management platform, your development team cannot see the full relationship history of a major gift prospect — and personalized stewardship at scale is impossible.
Compliance Reporting That Is Time-Consuming and Error-Prone
IPEDS reporting, Title IV compliance, accreditation data submissions, and state-level reporting requirements consume significant staff time every year — and the data is often pulled manually from multiple systems, reconciled in spreadsheets, and reviewed multiple times before submission. Manual compliance reporting is not just slow — it creates audit risk when data from different systems does not reconcile cleanly. Institutions that automate compliance reporting typically reduce the time spent by 60 to 70 percent and significantly reduce the risk of data errors.
Five Solutions That Connect Your Student, Advancement, and Operations Data
Each solution addresses a specific institutional challenge — with measurable outcomes and a clear implementation path for higher education, K-12, and EdTech organizations.
Salesforce Education Cloud for Student Recruitment, Success, and Alumni Management
We implement Salesforce Education Cloud configured for the full student lifecycle — from first inquiry through graduation and alumni engagement. Admissions counselors manage prospects and applications in one platform. Advisors see a complete student profile including grades, attendance, LMS activity, and financial aid status. Alumni and donor management connects advancement to the student record. One platform replaces four disconnected systems.
AI Early Alert System — Flags At-Risk Students Before They Disengage
We deploy an AI early alert system that monitors attendance patterns, grade trends, and LMS engagement simultaneously. When a student's behavior matches historical dropout indicators — declining login frequency, missed assignments, falling grades — the AI automatically flags them and triggers a personalized outreach workflow for their academic advisor. Advisors stop reacting to crises and start having proactive conversations with students who still have time to turn things around.
Admissions and Enrollment Automation with Salesforce Experience Cloud Portals
We build Salesforce Experience Cloud portals that give prospective students a self-service admissions experience — submitting applications, uploading documents, checking application status, and completing enrollment steps without calling the admissions office. Behind the portal, automated workflows route applications, trigger document requests, send status updates, and schedule counselor follow-ups. Admissions teams process more applications with less manual work — and prospective students get the fast, transparent experience that modern applicants expect.
Alumni and Donor Management on Salesforce Nonprofit Cloud
We implement Salesforce Nonprofit Cloud (NPSP) for advancement offices that need to manage major gift prospects, annual fund donors, alumni engagement, and fundraising campaigns in one platform. Development officers get a complete relationship history for every donor and prospect — giving history, event attendance, volunteer activity, and communication preferences — so every interaction is informed and every ask is appropriately timed. Institutions using Salesforce Nonprofit Cloud typically see 20 to 30 percent increases in annual giving within the first two years.
System Integration: Salesforce with Banner, Ellucian, Canvas, or Custom SIS
We integrate Salesforce Education Cloud with the major Student Information Systems — Ellucian Banner, Ellucian Colleague, PeopleSoft Campus Solutions, and Workday Student — as well as LMS platforms including Canvas, Blackboard, Moodle, and D2L Brightspace. Our integration approach creates bi-directional data sync so student records, enrollment data, grades, and attendance flow automatically between your SIS and Salesforce. Advisors see a complete student picture in Salesforce without logging into multiple systems.
Mid-Size University Reduces Dropout Rate by 24% and Cuts Admissions Processing Time in Half
A mid-size public university with 18,000 students was facing two connected problems. Their admissions team was processing applications manually across three systems — taking an average of 11 days from application submission to decision. And their advising team had no early warning system for at-risk students — they were only learning about struggling students when professors flagged concerns, often 6 to 8 weeks after the warning signs had first appeared.
Mirketa implemented Salesforce Education Cloud with SIS integration (Ellucian Banner), an Experience Cloud admissions portal, and the Student Success AI early alert system. Within one academic year, admissions processing time dropped from 11 days to 4.5 days, the dropout rate fell by 24 percent, and advisor satisfaction scores improved significantly — advisors reported spending more time on meaningful student conversations and less time on administrative data gathering.
Before Mirketa, our advisors were spending half their time just trying to figure out what was happening with a student — logging into Banner, then Canvas, then our advising system. Now they open one screen in Salesforce and they have everything. And the early alert system has completely changed how we think about student support. We are having conversations with students 6 weeks before they would have dropped — not after.
