Brief Presentation Description
Higher education institutions are drowning in student data but struggling to transform insights into timely, effective interventions. InsightStream AI bridges this critical gap by delivering an advanced, comprehensive platform that seamlessly integrates predictive analytics with intelligent case management, empowering campus personnel to move from reactive support to proactive student success.
Unlike traditional analytics dashboards that simply present data, InsightStream AI creates an Intelligence Engine for Student Success. Our platform combines a sophisticated data lake with advanced machine learning models that not only identify at-risk students but provide transparent, actionable recommendations for intervention strategies. The breakthrough lies in our integrated case management system, built directly on top of these analytics, where risk predictions automatically trigger personalized workflows and evidence-based intervention recommendations. Student success teams access intuitive dashboards that combine elements from key data sources (SIS, LMS, etc.) and translate complex risk algorithms into clear visual indicators, with seamless workflows for creating intervention plans, tracking student progress, and measuring outcomes. Additionally, by taking advantage of modern natural language query capabilities within the platform, campus stakeholders can interact with their data environment in a more approachable way. The platform’s technical foundation ensures enterprise-grade security and FERPA compliance capabilities, while enabling analytical power and transactional reliability.
Our white glove implementation approach distinguishes InsightStream AI from one-size-fits-all solutions. We begin each partnership with comprehensive strategic planning sessions, tailoring our data lake architecture to align with campus-specific priorities and existing infrastructure. This collaborative design process ensures that predictive models reflect each institution’s unique student populations, retention goals, and intervention capabilities. Rather than forcing institutions to adapt to rigid software requirements, we architect solutions that amplify existing campus strengths while addressing specific strategic challenges.
Currently, we’re collaborating with three HESS institutional partners who are providing invaluable insights as we refine core functionality and design around relevant applications.
Join us to learn how InsightStream AI is transforming student success from reactive crisis management to proactive, data-driven intervention strategies that improve retention outcomes by maximizing the impact of student success initiatives.
Preview live demonstrations and hear directly from our development partners about their early experiences implementing intelligent case management workflows.
