Is Your Institution One Resignation Away from a Crisis? The Hidden Risk Inside CAMS SIS
CAMS — built on a legacy, non-relational database architecture — was not designed for the operational complexity that today's registrar offices face. It was built for a different era of higher education, when enrollment was simpler, student pathways were linear, and the same five staff members had been running the office for twenty years.
As you know, that era is over.

Experts Discuss SIS Market "Shakeup": Rethinking Your Strategy for a Modern SIS
In a recent webinar hosted by ListEdTech, industry experts Charlie Moran (Moran Technology Consulting) and Justin Ménard (ListEdTech) offered one of the most candid data-informed perspectives we’ve seen on the current state of the Student Information System (SIS) market. Their candor, grounded in decades of analysis, made one thing abundantly clear: for many institutions, especially mid-sized colleges, the status quo is not sustainable.
How SFBU Meets its Mission Through Adoption of Salesforce as an SIS
San Francisco Bay University (SFBU), a small nonprofit university near Silicon Valley, serves a mission-centered population of first-generation and low-income students. But like many smaller institutions, SFBU struggled with disconnected systems and paper-based processes that slowed operations and limited growth. To support domestic enrollment expansion, the school adopted Salesforce not just as a CRM—but as a full Student Information System (SIS)—bringing together recruiting, admissions, financials, and student records on one connected platform.
Why Salesforce Is the SIS You Didn’t Know You Needed
Let’s be real: most SIS platforms are stuck in the past.
Built for a world of paper forms and 9-to-5 office hours, traditional SIS systems are clunky, rigid, and allergic to change. They're not built for the way students expect things to work today—and they definitely weren’t built for the way your team needs to operate.
But plot twist: you might already be sitting on the solution.
If you’re using Salesforce (or even just thinking about it), you’re halfway there. What you may not realize is that Salesforce can also run your entire Student Information System. Yes, really.
