Summary

Carlow College, St. Patrick’s, is Ireland’s second oldest university-level institution and currently serves a student body of 700 students. Founded in 1782, Carlow has distinguished itself as a premiere institution for students seeking an education in the humanities.

As a smaller institution, Carlow College was proficient in manually managing student administration using paper files and excel spreadsheets. To improve the student experience and aid faculty efforts, the college needed to acquire a reliable student information management system. More importantly, Carlow needed a solution that would scale into the future and seamlessly adapt alongside the institution.
