"We're giving the departments a lot more data, in different ways, so that they can make decisions and take action when they need to."

“Argos’ cost model is much more attractive. The pricing is good, and it’s an all-in-one package, so we didn’t have to decide how many report writers would be on it in advance. We didn’t know what that number was going to be, especially as we grew.”

"When I was introduced to Argos, the CO-OP was a great source just to see the possibilities. My imagination went wild. I could see all sorts of ways we could use Argos at our institution."

“The transformative power of our data mart has made information accessible to research. They are able to create visualizations that shine lights on areas of success and areas needing enhancements. We would not have been able to take this huge step forward without the assistance of Evisions.”

"The DataBlocks in Argos allow us to better organize our reports. And Argos has further simplified the process with its ability to schedule and automatically deliver reports without any IT intervention."

"Evisions has been pretty big for Southern Utah. From Argos to IntelleCheck to FormFusion, Evisions has saved the university a lot of time, which helps us work towards other goals."

"Argos is the tool of choice. It has immediately changed the way we work, in that it has consolidated data so staff don’t have to do hours of compilation any longer, and everybody’s looking at the same information."

"The biggest benefit of Argos is the ease of use and the amount of resources available through the web to maximize the use of the application. And one of the biggest points of sale that was given to us was the robustness of the HelpDesk. They gave our statistical office some direction and from there on, we were self-sufficient."

"Argos empowers employees to run reports themselves, without help from IT. It helps support our institution's strategic goals and plans."

We have found that most times, creating reports in Argos has been quicker and more robust than building native Banner reports. Argos has saved our school money by making our reporting more efficient and by putting the tool into our end users’ hands, thereby lessening the number of reports generated directly from our office. Argos easily creates professional, detailed reports that would have normally taken multiple steps to implement.

“I need to know if something is failing, like if grades aren’t being calculated or registration is down. Scheduled Argos reports gives us a health check on our student information system on a regular basis.”

"Argos has so many features and so much flexibility that it allows users to get real information faster than ever before. We originally bought Argos so we could 'do' reports. We quickly learned that is is so much more than just a reporting tool."

“Argos assists me in monitoring staff performance and gift processing entry. We have been able to reduce the amount of paper previously used by our department now that Argos reports are emailed to our respective areas. And we are able to proactively enhance our matching gift program by using Argos to report on various employment and giving parameters.”

"Evisions’ Argos is by far one of the best products Jacksonville University has purchased and implemented. The installation of the product took less than fifteen minutes and allowed us to start migrating reports instantly. Furthermore, the unlimited licenses, ease of use, free training, free upgrade model and fantastic support make Evisions a truly unique company. When it comes to reporting, Argos was the best decision we have ever made."

"The University of Leeds needed an intuitive, configurable solution that was centrally developed and maintained, yet available to the entire reporting community."

"Argos allows me to provide the Faculty Deans with up-to-the minute data on admissions where previously it took around a week to get that information together. The dashboards make it so much easier to understand the data."

"If we were going to buy something, ideally, it would be from someone we trust, someone we knew provided good products; we knew that was Kevin, for us it was kind of a no brainer."

"The summary reports we’ve created in Argos have been invaluable for our department. Reports like, ‘Financial Aid Year in Review’ and ‘Financial Aid History’ are accessed frequently and put financial aid data at our fingertips."

“Evisions has hit the sweet spot of reporting needs with Argos and they have delivered on all of their commitments.”

"I came to SUNY Adirondack from a school with no reporting tool, where everything had to be requested. When I got up here and found Argos, it was just unbelievable how much easier it made my job."

"With Argos I can deliver more data, but I'm able to control that data. I'm able to better control who is getting access to that data. That's a huge plus."

“Argos helps me keep the pulse of my many volunteer groups. It provides me a user-friendly interface, that allows me to search on just about any question I have as I deal with over 1,000 volunteers.”

“A tremendous benefit of Argos for us is the ability to report across multiple databases. We are able to do reporting with Jenzabar CX information along with information from PowerFAIDS, JICS and Blackboard.”

"The Evisions Argos product was not only extremely easy to learn, it has been extremely powerful as well. We were able to quickly rebuild and expand upon a large number of reports in a relatively short time. In addition, we have been able to create simple lookup screens and dashboards that have decreased the need for Colleague Licenses. The ability to combine information from multiple data sources onto one screen is just one example of its versatility. I would recommend the product to any business organization."

Argos reporting has streamlined the issuing of documents to all students, providing a consistent student experience."

"We're a big fan of Argos. We have had the product for some time now and it has made a huge difference on our multiple campuses."

Argos has created a collaborative environment between schools, who are now able to share DataBlocks and resources. People are calling each other. We’ve got the technical gear in place, so now people can push the envelope because they’re challenged by what other colleges are doing.

"The Argos OLAP Data Cubes gave us a multi dimensional view of the University’s data including enrollment and grant information. With Argos it was easy to chart or slice and dice this information."

“The Lehigh Alumni Relations Office uses a constituent relationship management model to assess alumni connectivity, activity and ultimately philanthropic support for our great university. The Argos platform has allowed us to pull, synthesize and analyze data in ways only dreamed of in previous years. Our successful achievement of yearly stretch goals and our strategies for increased participation are directly related to our use of Argos.”

"It is rare to find a software vendor that truly puts customers first. Evisions demonstrates this with the quality of their software and customer support. Their software installs quickly, is easy to learn and it just works like it should. We spend at most a quarter of the time supporting Evisions software as we did with our previous reporting software. It is almost always flexible enough to approach an unusual problem in several different ways."

"Argos presents the questions users need to answer to get specific about what they are looking for. People are not only getting the information they need, but they’re learning how to think about data as well."

“Before Argos, our counselors would spend a great deal of time writing notes, entering in the notes into a spreadsheet file and generating letters to our instructors related to our students with disabilities.”

“We have had many end users take advantage of the no additional charge web-based training and we love the CO-OP for sharing of DataBlocks.”

“The product is easy to use. The on-line training is very good, and we were producing reports within a day. As our skill level progressed, we began creating very complicated reports and dashboards. The Evisions support team has always been readily available to answer any questions we had.”

"After installing Argos, our DBA was immediately able to do a simple query against the database and retrieve results."

"Allow me to congratulate you on the development of the Dashboard. It is an extraordinary tool. Here I can see which programs are weak and which ones aren’t, I can compare myself with other centers, I can see the contribution made by the center to the institutional and systemic enrollment...Extraordinary!"

"We're very happy with the relationship we have with Evisions. We're constantly challenging the developers and the management of Evisions with ideas of where the product should go, and we’ve actually seen some of our requests come to fruition. That's rare."

"About 4 years ago I moved to Mt. San Antonio College, a much larger single location college with about 60,000 students and we decided that we would go with Banner again there and we relied and went back to Evisions to not only pick up all their other products that I had used before but also we standardized on Argos for reporting."

“From an Institutional Research perspective, Argos is a great tool to have on campus because it provides people with information they can use, not just the numbers.”

"Argos is user friendly. The banded report allows for easy creation of formatted reports. Pre-designed reports provide a quick way to extract the data required."

“I have used other reporting tools and Argos is by far the most cost-effective and user friendly.”

My staff found Argos very easy to learn and found it helpful that users have the choice of using the query builder or straight SQL code. This assisted with the migration of existing reports and enabled my newer staff to learn the Banner tables easily. The free online training and the ability to download dashboards from the CO-OP are wonderful features. I had a few users who were very apprehensive about the change; however, they are now some of my heaviest users.

"We’ve been a long-time satisfied Argos user. Argos has allowed us to implement effective solutions for day-to-day tasks in several vital business areas, including Admissions, Alumni, Finance and the Registrar’s office."

"Argos saves significant time in getting data to end users throughout the Academic cycle from admission through enrolment and onto Graduation."

"We needed to improve our ability to produce ad hoc reports including dashboards for decision-makers. We wanted to empower our staff to easily generate any report that they needed to service our university and students."

"Evisions has been incredibly easy to work with. Their professional staff and support staff have been friendly and helpful. When we have had issues, they have been quick to inform us of a current solution or develop new ones. We’re just beginning to see the power and versatility of the Argos software. Projects that used to take us 10-15 different reports can now be accomplished in one DataBlock."

"We found that the Argos Dashboards are easy to develop and were easy to use to get quick answers to questions."

"Argos has given us the opportunity to break down reports and analyze specific data points. We’re getting much more information than we were originally able to."

"We knew that we needed performance metrics but determining these metrics was difficult. It took a team effort to accomplish this determination."

"I love Argos! Having the Argos product at Jacksonville University has made my ability to do my job easier. I can easily run reports for numbers and important data quickly, I can reach out to struggling students, and by using Argos, we can easily spot outdated information in our student data system and rectify it. I am grateful that JU recognized the need for the Argos product and understood how useful it would be to departments like mine."

"Argos has completely revolutionised the admissions process here at the Business School rendering obsolete a mass of unmaintainable Access code."

“Evisions is one of the best companies I’ve ever worked with. Everybody there is amazing – they are extremely responsive, very knowledgeable and eager to solve the problems. I couldn’t be happier with the support and the response I’ve received.”

"Argos continues to amaze me in its technical and functional capabilities. I can go to one place and in a secure very user friendly way, get to all the data I want."

"The scheduling functions in Argos are incredibly useful and versatile, not to mention user-friendly. Setting up a schedule to execute, burst into different reports, and send dynamic e-mails can be configured in just a few minutes."

"Before Argos was implemented, every department on the multiple campuses had to fend for themselves and create their own reports or hire consultants to create them. The reporting strategy was very inefficient."

"Argos has made it easier to provide information to the campus community."

“I love the versatility of Argos, and how easy it is to customize your information.”

“I love Argos reporting - it makes my life much easier. I particularly love the scheduler!”

“No other product (reporting tool) comes anywhere close to Argos. Argos ROCKS!!!!!!!!!!!!”

"We can make virtually anything we print out of Banner look exactly how we want. Now we can make all that important information appear in a way that works best for our students."

"Evisions has been pretty big for Southern Utah. From Argos to IntelleCheck to FormFusion, Evisions has saved the university a lot of time, which helps us work towards other goals."

"From development to production, implementation took only 4 weeks and has saved us so much time and money."

"Once I saw the savings from E-billing, I knew that taking 1098-Ts online would be my next big project. I was so excited to pitch the proposal to my director. With her immediate blessing and in less than a year, 1098-Ts were online and we’ve never looked back! Prior to FormFusion, we outsourced our 1098-Ts...by using FormFusion, we were able to bring the process back in house for better control, and we saved money!"

"E-bills are now mandatory for students and in a survey we have found that students are happier with getting their bills via email rather than in the mail."

"We experienced so many benefits from implementing E-billing by using FormFusion! In the first year after implementation, we saved over $88,000 in printing costs and postage alone, which made our school administration very happy. We saw reduced personnel time necessary to process our bills. E-billing also drastically reduced our return rate from the post office for those students that failed to update or forward their addresses. Students, proxies, and staff now also have convenient access to billing statements online at any time. When the benefits include convenience, proven significant savings, and happy students, staff, and school administration, it’s a win-win for everyone! It doesn’t get any better than that!"

"We use to print up to 10,000 bills a month and use an outsourcing company to send them out. With FormFusion, we now print fewer than 500 bills a month and have saved a ton in printing and postage."

"FormFusion is great... it is built for Banner and uses all of the tools that are already on our system."

“FormFusion is by far the best way to distribute tax forms and student bills.”

“FormFusion has made billing students much easier.”

"I think of the Evisions Support team as a success partner for all the projects we have. Their technical expertise and professionalism help us accomplish our work."

"The biggest benefit of Argos is the ease of use and the amount of resources available through the web to maximize the use of the application. And one of the biggest points of sale that was given to us was the robustness of the HelpDesk. They gave our statistical office some direction and from there on, we were self-sufficient."

"I get excited when I think of all the work that Evisions saves us when compared to modifying Banner baseline programs. The support that we get from Evisions is superior!"

“We’ve been extremely pleased with how fast Evisions has taken action to all of the issues and enhancements we’ve ever brought up. It’s more than any other vendor we’ve worked with.”

"It’s wonderful to work with, their help desk always provides a quick and excellent response to whatever issue we’re facing. Out of all of our third party vendors they provide the excellent service that we need - quick rapid responses."

"The Evisions installation support is excellent. With every installation question we had, Evisions had a concise and simple answer. I would recommend their services to anyone looking for the best possible solution to the Banner® software system."

"Over the 10 years or so that we've been an Evisions client, the customer support has remained excellent on a consistent basis."
