In 2024, GBSB Global Business School, a leading accredited institution with campuses in Spain, Malta, and Switzerland, became the first to implement IVAEN Analytics – a cloud-native, modular data platform developed by IVAEN Education. This pilot project marked a major step in GBSB Global’s digital transformation journey, addressing long-standing challenges in data management, reporting, and student support.
The Challenge
Like many higher education institutions, GBSB Global faced:
- Fragmented data across multiple systems (CRM, LMS, finance, HR)
- Manual, time-consuming administrative workflows
- Limited access to real-time analytics for decision-making
- Difficulty in identifying and supporting at-risk students
The Solution
IVAEN Analytics was deployed to:
- Integrate and centralize institutional data into a single, secure platform
- Automate reporting and streamline core processes (admissions, scheduling, finance)
- Deliver executive-ready dashboards and predictive analytics for enrollment, retention, and academic performance
- Enable early-warning systems and personalized interventions for student success
The Results
The impact was immediate and measurable:
- Efficiency Gains: Administrative tasks like generating reports were reduced from hours to minutes, with some processes accelerated by 40%.
- Better Decisions: Enrolment forecasts became more accurate, enabling smarter budgeting and staffing.
- Student Success: Machine learning-powered recommendations helped faculty identify at-risk students early, boosting retention rates by 5–7% in the first year.
- User Satisfaction: Faculty and staff praised the platform’s ease of use and the clarity it brought to daily operations, fostering a culture of data-driven decision-making.
What’s Next? The successful pilot at GBSB Global validated IVAEN Analytics as a robust, scalable solution for higher education. Building on this foundation, IVAEN Education is preparing to drive innovation and excellence across the sector.
