Allow participating colleges to assist and support each other beyond technical issues and operating processes.
Create standard operating processes and data definitions based on industry best practices without each college recreating the wheel.
Leverage resources to expand the system capacity of smaller colleges so they have access to quality services that they otherwise could never afford.
Encourage cross-institutional collaboration to reduce operating expenses.
Improve the student experience by increasing modernization, accessibility, and mobility resulting in higher enrollments and better student retention.
