Helping Institutions with Continuous Improvement
With a long history of outstanding service to the higher education community, Datatel brings to colleges and universities comprehensive education offerings and services to address the challenges of CI. Our offerings are built upon the successes of higher education's quality movement pioneers, early adopters, and Datatel's acknowledged reputation for higher education expertise.
In this competitive marketplace, recognitions for excellence are particularly noteworthy. That's why Datatel is especially delighted that the University of Wisconsin-Stout (UW-Stout) – a longtime Datatel client – became in 2002 the first higher education institution to receive the prestigious Malcolm Baldrige National Quality Award. In 2005 Richland College – the second longtime Datatel client - became the first community college to receive the Malcolm Baldrige National Quality Award. Both institutions attributed this distinction in part to their excellent information and analysis system – Datatel Colleague. Learn more about Datatel’s continuous quality improvement offerings.
