Technology Optimization for Student Information Systems—Delivered by Experts Who Know Financial Aid Inside and Out

Unlock the Full Potential of Your SIS with Technology Optimization

At FAS, we optimize your Student Information System (SIS) so it works for you—not against you. Our consultants combine deep technology expertise with financial aid subject matter knowledge to unlock real, measurable value for your campus.

When your SIS runs at full potential, it doesn’t just improve financial aid, it strengthens enrollment, enhances the student experience, and supports your institution’s strategic goals.

Is Your SIS Helping or Hindering Your Success?

Your SIS is one of the most powerful tools on your campus—but only if it’s configured the right way. 40% of institutions report they lack the resources to maintain administrative and processing capabilities. Too often, campuses struggle with:

Inefficient workflows
Manual processes that burden your staff
Poor student experiences
Late awarding
Compliance headaches
Underutilized features and modules

These issues not only slow your operations—they also hold back recruitment, retention, and student satisfaction.

A Proven Path to SIS Excellence

Our Technology Optimization Service is designed to quickly identify and address the friction points in your SIS—and help your team sustain the improvements.

Here’s how it works:

1–2 Week Assessment

We evaluate your SIS performance across 9 critical dimensions to pinpoint what’s working—and what’s not.

Exit Briefing with Senior Leaders

We present clear findings and actionable recommendations to your leadership team.

Targeted Optimization Work (Optional)

Based on our finding and recommendations, you may choose to lead some improvement initiatives on your own or you can partner with the FAS team to execute improvements across configuration, workflows, and business processes.

Sustainable Solutions

We don’t just optimize—we teach. Our experts work alongside your staff, transferring knowledge and building internal capacity so your team can sustain and evolve the improvements over time.

The Right Expertise.
The Right Results.

Unlike general tech consultants, our team brings a rare combination of skills to the table:

Deep SIS configuration and technology expertise
Unmatched knowledge of financial aid systems and regulations
Firsthand experience working with colleges and universities nationwide

This unique blend ensures every optimization is both technically sound and operationally strategic—especially in financial aid, where compliance and efficiency matter most.

FAS consultants are knowledgeable on all the major Student Information Systems

and Financial Aid Modules.
