The latest trends, news, and solutions in Higher Education
Most CRMs were not built for higher education.
They were designed for sales pipelines, customers, and deals. When colleges and universities adopt them, they find that the higher ed features were bolted on later, resulting in awkward workflows, complexity, and systems that never quite fit how institutions actually recruit and support students.
Jetstream CRM was built differently from day one.
Effective communication is at the heart of successful advising. Among its many features, FlightPath makes it easy for institutions to connect with students by bringing text and email messaging into one centralized platform.
Advisors can both send and receive text messages and emails, making easy work of staying connected with a full caseload of advisees. Plus, the communication history is attached to the student's record, regardless if they change advisors down the line.
Colleges and universities need modern, effective advising tools, but many available systems come with enterprise-level price tags. Even the advising add-ons built into major SIS and ERP platforms often require expensive licensing, limited customization, and significant staff effort to maintain.
FlightPath offers a smarter alternative. It delivers a full-featured, enterprise-grade advising system at a fraction of the cost, without sacrificing capability or flexibility.
Academic leaders need a clear, reliable way to understand and demonstrate faculty & staff impact. Teaching, research, service, grants, creative work, and community engagement all contribute to institutional success. Yet when this information is scattered across emails and spreadsheets, it becomes difficult to support accreditation, showcase faculty & staff achievements, or make data-informed decisions.
This is why institutions need Faculty Atlas, the modern faculty activity tracking and reporting system.

It is a budget-friendly, modern advising and degree audit platform designed to help colleges and universities make advising more efficient, consistent, and student-centered. Here are five common challenges and how FlightPath helps address them:
