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.
