Where the value is

Education is a journey: run it like one.

Recruitment & admissions

Enquiry-to-enrolment pipeline with document checklists and offer tracking, with conversion measured per school, programme, and market.

Student services one-stop

Requests, letters, and casework in one queue with SLAs, so students stop forwarding emails to find an owner.

Enrolment marketing

Marketing Cloud journeys for open days, application deadlines, and offer-holders, with parents and students nurtured in Arabic and English.

Agentforce for student questions

Fees, deadlines, requirements, and status: answered instantly day and night, with complex cases routed to the right office.

Alumni & advancement

Relationships, giving, and events on one record: the network that outlasts graduation, finally managed deliberately.

Insights

Thinking for education leaders.

The regional picture

Enrolment is competitive across borders.

01

Groups scale across countries

School and university groups expanding across the Gulf need admissions machinery that works identically in every campus and currency.

02

Parents are the customer too

Decisions are family decisions. Communication journeys that respect that (bilingual, timely, transparent on fees) convert where brochures don’t.

03

Branch campuses import expectations

International universities arriving in the region bring global CRM standards with them. Local providers must match that experience to compete.

Questions we get

Asked by every institution, answered straight.

Does this replace our student information system?

No. The SIS stays the academic record. Salesforce runs recruitment, services, and engagement around it, integrated at enrolment.

Can it handle agent-driven recruitment?

Yes. Agency portals, application attribution, and commission visibility are standard patterns we deploy for international intakes.

How fast can admissions go live?

A scoped intake cycle can be live in a term. Talk to the team about timing it before your next cycle.

Fill every seat with the right student.
