Announcing TracDat 4.0!
 

Nuventive is pleased to announce the release of TracDat 4.0. The product is currently in a limited beta and is expected to be released in mid-August 2007.

TracDat 4.0 further extends Nuventive's leadership in enterprise outcomes management. TracDat 4.0 combines the robust improvement process management relied on by leading colleges and universities across the country with innovative new features that streamline outcomes data collection, reporting, and most importantly increase the ease of faculty and staff involvement in the assessment process.

TracDat 4.0 supports enterprise wide strategic planning, academic and administrative outcomes management, and both regional and specialized accreditation. This evolution of TracDat incorporates the best thinking from a team that has been focused in this area since 1997 and from a large, vocal, and very thoughtful customer base.

TracDat 4.0 integrates with Nuventive's iWebfolio extending your ability to collect and manage student outcomes via an advanced and flexible electronic portfolio solution. TracDat 4.0 also integrates with Nuventive Insight extending your ability to flexibly present outcomes in a secure way to a variety of audiences. Finally, TracDat 4.0 integrates with Sungard Higher Education's Banner solution.

Nuventive is dedicated to your success in outcomes management. Our software solutions, services and support are all focused on ensuring your success in outcomes management. Our solutions are designed to work with your native application environment in a way that allows you to effectively look at all of your relevant data regardless of its location. Our solutions are not an extension to software with another primary purpose.
