How Oakland University Goes Beyond Reporting with Rapid Application Development in Argos

Noah Pollock, Director of Curriculum Data Management at Oakland University William Beaumont School of Medicine, shares how Argos has become a flexible platform for solving complex institutional challenges far beyond traditional reporting. Supporting everything from curriculum management and student success initiatives to data governance and enterprise applications, Noah discusses how Oakland University has leveraged Argos to rapidly develop solutions when off-the-shelf products did not exist. From building a campus-wide COVID-19 vaccination and exemption tracking system to creating a technology equipment lending application that continues to serve students, faculty, and staff years later, Argos has helped the institution respond quickly to evolving needs while maintaining strong data governance and stakeholder trust. Noah also highlights the flexibility, creativity, and innovation that make Argos a unique tool for higher education institutions looking to unlock more value from their data. 0:05 Introduction 1:15 What are some of the biggest challenges your institution faces when it comes to data and reporting? 2:12 How does Argos help your institution address those data and reporting challenges? 2:47 If you had to highlight one major institutional win or outcome your team has achieved with Argos, what would it be? 5:38 What stands out to you about the modernization efforts you’ve seen from Evisions and the direction the company is headed? 6:37 What would you say to another higher ed leader who is considering Argos and evaluating Evisions as a partner for their institution? 7:50 Is there anything else about your experience with Evisions or Argos that we didn’t cover, but you think would be valuable for others to know?
