IE staff focus on institutional outcomes and inputs into student success, like faculty performance, course and program evaluation, and assessment management. Philosophically, IE and student success are two sides of the same coin. In other words, Watermark is cultivating cross-functional appeal and, as such, has the potential to help knock down institutional silos surrounding student data and support. What makes the company’s choice of Aviso Retention interesting is that the solution brings Watermark one step closer to closing the technology gaps between IE and student success work on campus. It took several years to establish a unified brand and interface across acquisitions, and Watermark is still aggressively working to fully integrate and standardize security across offerings.

Watermark’s original goal was to create a robust and integrated institutional effectiveness (IE) portfolio to facilitate one-stop institutional shopping. Within its first year of business, Watermark announced two new products but also acquired Digital Measures (faculty information management), EvaluationKIT (course evaluations), and SmartCatalog (curriculum management) to round out its offerings. It began as the merger of three market leaders in assessment management (Taskstream, TK20, and LiveText).

The company has consistently grown through acquisition. At first glance, this announcement does not indicate a new strategy for Watermark. Last week Watermark announced its latest acquisition, Aviso Retention, a student success solution that supports case management, predictive analytics, early alerts, and student notifications to mitigate risks to retention.
