Headquartered in Boca Raton, Florida, Campus Management began in 1988 as a consultancy for customizing accounting software. A few engagements with operators of small, proprietary vocational schools made it clear to founder, David Meek, that owners of these trade colleges struggled with being both educators and administrators to fast-growing and increasingly regulated businesses. Meek acquired the firm and re-branded it into a specialized provider of administrative software systems to proprietary postsecondary schools. This sector underwent rapid consolidation in the 1990s, yielding many of today's Wall Street-traded enrollment leaders in for-profit education: Career Education Corporation, Corinthian Colleges, Kaplan University (part of The Washington Post company), Education Management Corporation, Keiser University, and others.
In 1999, the company released what is now its flagship product, CampusVue student information system. Characterized by a design that permitted large education companies having many brands of schools and nontraditional academic terms to operate on a single database, CampusVue became a product of choice across the U.S. for-profit education sector. CampusVue subsequently was selected by traditional nonprofit colleges in the early 2000s, making Campus Management a competitor to Datatel, PeopleSoft (and then Oracle), and Sungard. In 2007, the IMS Global Learning Consortium ranked CampusVue as the top-rated student information system in higher education [cf. http://www.imsglobal.org/pressreleases/pr070212.html].
The company's innovations for education include the first two-way integration of a commercial student administrative system and portals with the Moodle community source Course Management System, announced in 2008 [cf. http://www.encyclopedia.com/doc/1G1-177404354.html]. As early as 2003, the company introduced fully online e-advising and degree audit capabilities for students who might be re-thinking their majors.
In 2008, Campus Management acquired from nGenera Corporation the Talisma brand and Talisma Corporation Pvt. Ltd. in Bangalore and its higher education business unit based in Bellevue, Washington. Assets included nGenera’s Talisma CRM software, which was in use at Florida Atlantic University, University of Alabama, Texas A&M - Brownsville, Johnson & Wales, and other leading institutions. Talisma CRM, or Constituent Relationship Management, is a product useful in "strategic enrollment management," which is a concept for continuously improving student recruiting and retention.
Earlier that same year, Campus Management reached a definitive agreement to be acquired by Leeds Equity Partners. Leeds Equity is a New York-based private equity firm focused on investments in the education, training and information and business services industries. With the transaction, Timothy B. Loomer, formerly CEO of Scantron Corporation, succeeded founder David Meek as president and chief executive officer.
