Brigham Young University's BYU-Pathway Worldwide online education program has partnered with Anthology to roll out two of the company's six cloud-based ed tech platforms, creating a central hub for administrators, staff, mentors, and its 60,000 learners worldwide.

Anthology's SIS, Anthology Student, will provide tools to streamline registration, financial aid, advising, and other administrative tasks. It's CRM, Anthology Reach, will assist enrollment and retention to support a learner's successful journey from admission to degree completion, the company said.

BYU-Pathway Worldwide Chief Information Officer Troy Davis said the flexibility of Anthology's products will enable the university's online program to serve its students "throughout the world in multiple locations and languages" to help student success in gaining skills to obtain employment earlier in their degree program.
