Our take
Modern Campus offers a whole suite of engagement-oriented SaaS products for higher education institutions, including enrollment, communication, curriculum management, and career pathways planning.
The company’s roots go back to 1982 and the early days of web development and SaaS, but a 2019 merger between higher education CMS OmniUpdate, and Student Lifecycle Management (SLM) company Destiny Solutions, led to a 2021 rebrand as Modern Campus.
Now over 2,000 North American institutions are customers of the company, including St. Louis University and Utah Valley University. This gives an indication of Modern Campus’ relevance and strength of position in the market.
There are no signs of slowing down as Modern Campus looks to tap into increasing demand for the modernization of campus life. Since rebranding, the company has been making key acquisitions in the higher education sector to expand its own services range, including campus engagement platform Presence, and conversational text messaging platform Signal Vine.
