u-planner is an international technology solutions company for higher education. We seek to improve education by incorporating Data Science concepts such as Big Data and Artificial Intelligence that help optimize and improve the educational system, improving the quality of education that students obtain and their final results. u-planner’s mission is to empower HEI with innovative technological solutions that allows them to achieve high performance in the execution of their strategic plans. Nowadays, there is a disconnection from what is needed by students, teachers and management.
Today we work in three main product lines which represent some of the biggest needs of HEI, Planning, Assessment and Student Success, in which we can, for example, score students based on their dropout probability with a 95% accuracy. This has represented a huge opportunity, and we are using these and other analytical algorithms to empower education systems with new innovative technology solutions. We have led HEIs to step out of their comfort zone, from outdated Oracle data bases and legacy systems, to analytical business tools, replacing manual processes and intuition, with cutting-edge machine learning algorithms that extract information from raw data; this has allowed institutions to avoid specific investments, leaving the architecture and implementations complexities to the provider as a first approach to a cloud based environment; changing education driving impact and insights for institutions to help students in classrooms of today to create the future of tomorrow.
