Modernising admissions & student lifecycle management
Many higher education institutions continue to rely on manual processes, disconnected systems, and fragmented data to manage admissions and student lifecycle activities. These challenges create inefficiencies, increase risk, and make it difficult for staff to deliver the experience that modern students expect. Valto's Higher Education Admissions & Student Lifecycle Platform was developed to address these challenges. Built on Microsoft's Power Platform and Microsoft 365 technologies, it helps universities and colleges automate application workflows, centralise student information, streamline governance activities, and create a trusted single source of truth across the institution. Proven within leading Cambridge colleges, the platform provides a secure, scalable, and future-ready foundation for managing admissions, student records, committee processes, and institutional governance.
