Ep. 170: How to Reduce Friction Between Marketing and IT in Higher Ed

In this episode you’ll meet Chase Williams, Co-Founder and CEO of Pathify —  an innovative higher ed engagement hub that puts students at the center of their college journey.

Zach and Chase discuss why there’s so much friction in university technology stacks and what strategies and tactics can be put into place to reduce that friction and create a more integrated, student-friendly experience. 

Chase explains why he believes the future of education technology will be highly integrated and that each department, perhaps each individual, will be able to use the tools they want to accomplish their goals but that each of these systems will be perfectly integrated so as to offer each university stakeholder a beautiful, simple user experience.
