Interfolio, a pioneer in faculty-focused workflow technology, acquires DATA180, a noted leader in addressing higher ed data needs
Summary
“As a united force we shape a ‘must-have’ class of technology to help institutions better use data for decision making and reporting, improving transparency, promoting equity and enabling best-in-class efficiency around historically manual disparate processes. Additionally, this will allow faculty more time to teach, engage students and conduct research.” Founded in 1999, Interfolio is led by an experienced ed-tech team and includes state-of-the-art products addressing the complex job-search and shared-governance workflows of hiring, promotion and tenure. DATA180, launched in 2002 by former academics, provides the most-advanced technology to help faculty harness the voluminous and varied activity data – from research publications to program evaluations – that must be reported regularly to administrators for internal reviews, compliance and accreditation, among other uses. Similarly, without capturing an accurate picture of trends, gaps, opportunities and candidates, it is difficult to deliver on diversity initiatives, which will adversely affect everything from recruitment to research funding. “Interfolio did something comparable for all aspects of the intensive career process, so we are enormously excited by what we can achieve together to grow a technology category designed for those dedicated to teaching tomorrow’s leaders.”
