Rapid Insight Inc. Launches Retention Analysis Software and Methodology
January 27, 2009 Conway, NH - Rapid Insight Inc., the leading provider of data analytics software to higher education institutions, today announced Retention Analysis Software and Methodology to help colleges and universities analyze and understand the issues of student retention.
The software and methodologies developed by Rapid Insight will enable institutions to optimize student success while stabilizing and increasing institutional revenue. By enabling colleges and universities to understand the profile of the students they are losing, where those students are going, and which students are at risk of leaving, institutions can increase student retention and thrive in a challenging economy.
"Student Retention is at the forefront of everyone's mind in higher education. It's important from both a financial and a student success perspective. Our Retention Analysis product gives customers a framework to understand the behaviors of their students as it relates to retention," said Michael Laracy, President of Rapid Insight. "The first step in dealing with the retention problem is to understand everything about outgoing students, which means gathering, integrating and analyzing as much data as possible, typically from multiple sources. The next step is to use that history to predict which current students are at risk."
The effective understanding and management of retention leads to increased student success and better financial planning.
Scott Mantie, PhD, Associate Dean of Institutional Research and Assessment at Plymouth State University noted that, "Rapid Insight permits us to quickly collect and analyze student data, helping us to target more effective retention strategies. Furthermore, the software enables us to design an effective assessment of those strategies."
The Rapid Insight Retention Analysis software and methodology utilizes Rapid Insight® Data Integration as well as Rapid Insight® Analytics technology. These software tools enable institutions to extract, piece together and manage the appropriate data for analyzing student success and for predicting which students are at risk. With a visual point and click graphical user interface, Rapid Insight aims to empower institutions with data driven decision making as simply and affordably as possible.
