The 2025 Forrester Consulting Total Economic Impact™ (TEI) study, commissioned by Ellucian, examined how Colleague SaaS powered higher education institutions to empower student success, realize cost savings of a modernized infrastructure, and achieve strategic goals. Based on a composite organization of seven higher education institutions, Forrester concluded that Colleague SaaS had a $7.2M three-year risk-adjust financial impact.

- Reduced time spent by 85% on financial aid and registrar processes
