"What we’ve built will not expire. It will evolve. For Hughes Hall, this means Athena (the Valto Higher Education Admissions & Student Lifecycle Software) becoming one central system that connects all the systems used across the college through APIs. This is a real game changer and will revolutionise how we operate."
Hughes Hall, University of Cambridge
"We pushed the functionality of the tools to the limit in order to achieve the complexities of the brief and Valto always found a way to equip the tools to work for us. So often data captured is thrown into a black hole of data storage, this solution enables us to monitor activity in real time and to present this in a useful format to inform decision making."
