Education Cloud FAQ
Salesforce Education Cloud is a deeply unified platform that includes CRM for higher Education and next-gen student information system (SIS) capabilities. It uses the latest Salesforce innovations, such as agentic AI and analytics, to drive learner and institution success. Unlike point solutions, Education Cloud is a configurable platform designed to support multiple use cases across the Education journey.
Education Cloud does not run on the Education Data Architecture (EDA). Instead, it has its own Education Data foundation that is built within the core Salesforce platform. Education-specific objects for things like grades and courses live as native objects on the core Salesforce platform.
Salesforce Education Cloud includes purpose-built modules for each stage of the constituent journey, a common capabilities model, a data foundation for lifelong learning, agentic AI, and analytics–all in one platform. Modules support recruitment and managing the admissions funnel, academic operations, advising and student success, advancement and student financials.
Education Cloud is an industry cloud that delivers personalized experiences for students, staff, and alumni. Education Cloud’s common capability model for things like scheduling, case management, and application form-building helps reduce total cost of ownership and scale impact institution-wide.
Salesforce is embarking on a transformative journey to build a next-generation student information system (SIS) on Education Cloud. By building modular, learner-centric SIS capabilities and releasing them over time, Salesforce offers institutions a more flexible path to embracing a modern system. This initiative represents an important step forward in our commitment to empowering institutions to better activate data with AI, drive unprecedented efficiencies, and cultivate enhanced constituent experiences for years to come.
