Irvington, VA (PRWEB) July 09, 2012

For the first time, individuals can find over 100 downloadable higher education technology research reports with verified information on the technologies and software applications selected by over 13,000 institutions. Enterprise Hive and The Tambellini Group have partnered to deliver eduHiveMind.

In addition to downloadable reports including software selections by institutions for SIS, Financials, HRMS and LMS solutions, individuals with valid higher education email work addresses may rate their experience with vendor and open-source software solutions.

Higher education decision-makers will find insights regarding the technology decisions made by institutions of similar type and size. Enterprise Hive uses a proprietary methodology to allow individuals to connect with others who share the same job roles in similar campus environments.

“Taking the guesswork out of which peer institutions have selected technology similar to what I’m considering, will save higher education decision makers untold hours,” according to Vicki Tambellini, CEO of The Tambellini Group and Enterprise Hive. Vendors will find the data commons a valuable resource when considering partnerships and new product investments.
