PHILADELPHIA, Jan. 22, 2015 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- TargetX has been recognized for the 3rd consecutive year for making a positive difference on college campuses by the higher ed leaders who named it to University Business magazine's "Readers' Choice Top Products" for 2014.
The winners, selected by University Business' editors from hundreds of nominations, were products that received the highest number of nominations and best descriptions from higher ed leaders. The Readers' Choice Top Products has been announced online and in the January 2015 issue of University Business.
"TargetX is the first CRM solution Seaver College of Pepperdine University has implemented. It has allowed us to connect more effectively with prospective students and their families by providing timely, relevant communication related to their status in the admission process," says Mike Truschke, Dean of Admissions and Enrollment Management at Pepperdine University, in his nomination.
Through focused solutions in recruitment, retention and advancement--as well as a new campuswide CRM approach that streamlines all departments, TargetX empowers institutions to maximize efficiencies and build better relationships with students. TargetX "clouds" are built on the powerful Salesforce.com platform and customized to the needs of higher education professionals through the team's extensive industry knowledge.

"In 2015, we are particularly excited to enhance and expand our integrated solutions in offices across campus to help colleges and universities build crucial relationships with their key constituencies, all leading back to what's most important--student success," continues Peterson.
University Business' Readers' Choice Top Products award program informs higher ed leaders about products their colleagues around the country are using to help their campuses excel in a variety of areas, such as technology, sustainability and academic instruction.
