Orion, which began shipping Monday, is designed to help administrators  manage campus events, promote course offerings, and track communications with prospective students. It's also designed for inter-departmental collaboration on marketing programs.

"Higher education today is becoming increasingly competitive and the necessity to effectively communicate institutional messaging has become even more critical to success. Intelliworks provides us the tools to build targeted communication plans that effectively utilize our resources and budget. We see the Orion solution as a vehicle to accomplish more with less," said Diane Raymond, director of admission for New England College. "Orion empowers our team to seamlessly manage all relationship marketing and communications interactions with our constituents in a single place. With its fast deployment, ease of use, and affordable pricing structure, Orion provides compelling value to any individual and team to take control of their CRM needs."

NEC is a liberal arts college in New Hampshire serving about 1,500 graduate and undergraduate students.
