Toronto Metropolitan University is a different institution—we’re open to taking risks, it’s part of our culture—and this project directly supported our new model of delivery. Diabsolut built something very stable, and I sleep well at night knowing it won’t break down. From concept to a fully functioning system, the support we received was outstanding.

The Challenge

After going from less than 30K students at the time, to 45k students, Toronto Metropolitan University knew they would need scalability and a more centralized, efficient solution. Their previous system was a limited CRM that relied on one person to provide updates and fix bugs through a slow and painful process.

Pain Points

  • Scalability issues due to a significant increase in student population.
  • Limited and inefficient previous CRM system, reliant on one person for updates and bug fixes.
  • Need for a centralized system to manage Career Services functions such as student appointments, employer relationships, and campus events.

Requirements

  • A scalable and efficient CRM platform.
  • A centralized system to manage all Career Services functions.
  • Easy-to-use platform for both students and staff.
  • Integration capabilities for seamless event management.

The Solution

Diabsolut got to work implementing and customizing Sales Cloud and Experience Cloud to meet Toronto Metropolitan University’sneeds; along with integrating Linviofor event management —creating the seamless single platform the university was seeking. Most importantly, the new platform was straightforward and easy to use, covering all of Career Services bases, with room to grow.
