Our Partnership Promise

Our unique approach to engagement is best summed up in our two promises:

  • A consistent, seamless experience, across users, communication channels, and student lifecycle stages. We know that you don’t have time to learn how to use a tool that’s meant to save you time and scale your uniquely human touch.
  • Automation and human connection, balanced, scaled, and empowered with data. That includes the learnings we’ve collected, on campus and working with campuses, so you get more than just communication technology. We believe higher ed is about authentic connections, so we are committed to freeing you to have more of those connections that only you can have.

We have been able to reach students at a whole new level! Communication with our prospective students was virtually non-existent before we began using Cadence.

Cadence lets us quickly connect with students who would have been non-responsive to phone calls and emails. Students reply to texts almost immediately.

Out of all of our vendors, Mongoose is THE BEST at customer service and satisfaction. You can tell client satisfaction is at the forefront of each interaction! For issues ranging from software integrations to best practices for higher ed comm, Mongoose will walk with you. Wouldn't trade this software for anything else! We recommend Cadence every chance we get.

We have only been a client for a year, but I have been impressed with the many ways that Mongoose is forward thinking about their product, the market and their customers' needs. They really are enthusiastic about their services and their clients.

Cadence has helped us go from 15 registrants on a Zoom to over 75. This product has helped us have meaningful connections and conversations with our alumni in surprising ways. We can't wait to try out the automatic response/RSVP feature for our events!

We have an ongoing challenge of yielding our students through enrollment. Cadence has helped bridge that gap with newer generations that prefer text.

The most helpful thing about Cadence is the ease of use because it is so well designed. The training tools are fantastic making it quick to learn and easy to teach others. It's opened up the ability to contact some folks that have ignored our calls for years but are open to a quick text engagement.

Cadence is very easy to use and extremely intuitive. The ability to collect data is also super helpful when creating reports or data supporting student interaction. The webinars and knowledge bases provided are also really helpful when you're looking for best practices.

This is an essential tool and we can’t do without it… We have a very high first generation population so there’s a lot of education that needs to be done.
Natalie Wagoner

Cadence reduced our workflow. The students reaching out were more serious… online and graduate staff were excited from the get-go.

We broke records for enrollment in 2019, 2021, and 2022. In 2020, we even came out better than most.
