Building for Growth: Technology, Systems, and Strategies to Scale PCO Operations

Thursday, April 16 | 3:15 PM | Concurrent session

Operational efficiency underpins sustainable growth in professional, continuing, and online education. This session brings together two institutional perspectives on how technology systems can be strategically adopted and optimized to strengthen PCO operations.

The University of South Carolina will share how its Continuing Education and Conferences unit streamlined operations by consolidating nearly ten legacy systems into Slate, unlocking efficiencies and freeing staff for higher-value work. UC Merced will highlight how its PACE unit, launched two years ago, timed infrastructure investments and leveraged Eduframe SIS with workflow automation to support revenue growth while maintaining a lean team.

Together, these case studies offer practical lessons in system selection, implementation, and scaling to help attendees assess their operational readiness and infrastructure strategies.
