Oregon Tech’s administrative technology portfolio cost significant money and IT staff time to maintain and contributed to poor data accessibility. The institution is leanly staffed as a means of managing costs, so technology maintenance represented a significant burden. Frustrated with their reliance on a few monolithic platforms, Oregon Tech sought a solution that allowed for a more modular ecosystem with greater data accessibility and the ability to optimize data quality while minimizing maintenance needs.
The school partnered with Edify, EAB’s Education Data Platform in Spring 2020. Putting Edify at the center of their digital enterprise has allowed Oregon Tech to choose the best-fit, best-cost solutions for campus without being beholden to a single vendor.
By shifting away from a single-vendor model, Oregon Tech can recapture and reallocate millions of dollars in IT spend toward high-priority student success initiatives across multiple years of partnership.

Why do some legacy technologies pose such a burden?
With Edify: Hub-and-Spoke Integration Offers Vendor Flexibility
Oregon Tech Unlocks Ecosystem Agility with Investments in Campus-Focused Data Management
With best-in-class technologies replacing single vendor solutions, Oregon Tech creates vendor optionality. Individual systems are connected to Edify and then to each other, so that when one system is replaced, it doesn’t break connections to other systems.
