How to Build a High-Impact Data Team Without the Full-Time Headcount [Webinar]

Published on 08/06/2025 | Written by Collegis Education | 3 Minutes Read Time

You’re under increased pressure to make better, data-informed decisions. However, most colleges and universities don’t have the budget to build the kind of data team that drives strategic progress. And even if you can hire, you’re competing with other industries that pay top dollar, making it hard, if not impossible, to find the right data resource with all the skills to move your operation forward. Don’t let hiring roadblocks make you settle for siloed insights and stagnant dashboards.

How to Build a High-Impact Data Team
Without the Full-Time Headcount
Tuesday, August 26
2:00 pm ET / 1:00 pm CT 

In this webinar, Jeff Certain, VP of Solution Development and Go-to-Market, and Dan Antonson, AVP of Data and Analytics, break down how a managed services model can help you create a high-impact data team at a fraction of the cost and give you access to a robust bench of highly specialized data talent. They will also share some real-world examples of nimble, high-impact data teams in action. 

You’ll walk away knowing: 

  • Which data roles are needed for success and scale in higher ed 
  • How to rapidly scale data operations without adding FTEs 
  • Why managed services are a smarter investment than full-time hires 
  • Ways to tap into cross-functional expertise on demand 
  • How to build a future-ready data infrastructure without ballooning your org chart 

Whether you’re starting from scratch or trying to scale a lean team, this session will offer practical, flexible strategies to get there faster — and more cost-effectively.
