Pittsburgh, PA (January 26, 2021 )— Othot, the advanced analytics and intelligence solution for higher education, has partnered with RNL, an enrollment, student success, and fundraising solution used by over 3,000 institutions. The two organizations will combine solutions to maximize college student retention and completion rates.
With Othot, colleges and universities can use predictive and prescriptive modeling to not only know which students to target in an institution’s student success efforts but also to recommend specific efforts that help individual students succeed.
The combination of Othot and RNL gives institutions unparalleled consulting expertise with the most specific and actionable intelligence for ensuring term-to-term and year-to-year retention as well as persistence toward major and degree completion. Students at risk of poor performance or dropping out of college are more easily identified so that institutional staff can be proactive in getting them the help they need.
"Now that students are being admitted to colleges without standardized test scores traditionally relied upon as an indicator of performance success institutions will need advanced insights more than ever to understand how to support each and every student,” said Fred Weiss, President and CEO at Othot, Inc. “Combining the analytics and support resources of Othot and RNL means higher education institutions can analyze and take action on data more efficiently and effectively.”
The joint solution, which will be available to purchase in just a few weeks, includes a new Student Success Essential analytics offering, priced right for today’s tight higher ed budgets and brand new dynamic view in the Othot platform of the RNL Retention Management System survey results providing benchmarking for each student against the population.

“As colleges grapple with the pandemic and shifting demographics, combined solutions offered by RNL and Othot will maximize outcomes for student success," said Wes Butterfield, Senior Vice President at RNL.
