  5. Why? The current situation • We don’t (fully) know who our prospects are • We don’t know who at Warwick they have spoken to • We don’t know what activities at Warwick they have undertaken • We have limited and disjointed information on our prospects • Spreadsheets • SITS • Databases • Post-it notes! • Data fragmented across central providers and departments

  6. YourWarwick • All enquiries via phone / email can be captured in one place • All members of Central / Department Recruitment and Admissions able to view and add to prospects’ records • Reduce the time spent responding to the same questions • Ability to target communications to unlimited segments of our prospects register
