Digital Measures

At Digital Measures, we understand faculty activity reporting. Since 1999 we have partnered with 3 out of 5 of the largest U.S. universities to achieve reporting success—success that is based upon responding to the real needs of our clients.

We don't have outside investors. This allows us to focus squarely on our clients’ needs. Since we speak the language of people across your campus—from academic affairs and deans offices to institutional research departments to IT organizations, as well as faculty—we are able to translate everyone's data management needs into customized system requirements that fit your university’s needs.

As a result, you do not need squadrons of programmers involved in implementing your faculty activity reporting solution. We overlay our knowledge of university structures and higher education concepts on top of our technical abilities to ensure each of our clients' implementations meets its specific and varied goals. We are proud to have a culture of innovation that continually delivers not only new features but also best practices and efficient and effective internal processes.

Our laser focus has made us the de facto standard in faculty activity reporting, as evidenced by our list of who's who clients among universities worldwide.
