The inaugural MultiValue World: The Future Unleashed conference brought together developers, technology leaders, vendors, and innovators from across the MultiValue ecosystem for several days of collaboration, modernization discussions, and forward-looking strategy. Held in Tampa, Florida, the conference showcased not only the strength of the MultiValue community, but also its momentum toward the future.
Aptron Corporation is excited to announce that we will be attending the upcoming MultiValue World Conference in Tampa, Florida, from April 27 – 30, 2026. As part of the conference, Aptron’s vice president, Dianne Ackerman, will present on mvQuery, our easy-to-use query, report designer, and data export tool for MultiValue databases, including Ellucian Colleague and systems running on UniVerse, UniData, or D3.
In today’s uncertain climate, the last thing you should have to worry about is the stability of your technology partners – bankruptcy, changes in ownership, fights over ownership, and leadership control – no thank you. Wouldn’t it be nice to have a partner built for endurance?
Higher education is navigating a polycrisis – multiple crises converging into one greater than the sum of its parts. Funding pressures, regulatory shifts, and rising expectations are all coming together at one time to challenge every institution’s resilience.
Resilient institutions leverage highly customizable systems – solutions that can be tailored quickly and efficiently to fit evolving needs without requiring major IT intervention. This flexibility enables leadership to adjust and respond to changing circumstances quickly so that operations remain aligned with institutional goals rather than constrained by technological limitations.
Higher education is under intense pressure to do more with less. With budgets tighter than ever, colleges must find smarter ways to reduce costs without sacrificing functionality or the student experience.
One area that’s increasingly under scrutiny? The Student Information System (SIS).
Higher education is no stranger to change—but 2025 is testing institutions like never before. With a rapidly evolving political landscape, rising pressure on financial aid systems, and new waves of uncertainty for students, colleges and universities are being called to lead with clarity, compassion, and agility.
Facing an end-of-life student information system (SIS) is daunting. As products like PowerCampus approach their final chapters, and as institutions determine that legacy homegrown systems no longer deliver the functionality, scalability, or security needed to support modern operations, more and more colleges and universities are facing the need to make critical decisions about the future of their SIS and ERP.
Aptron is pleased to announce mvQuery 8.2, our third release since acquiring mvQuery from PrismHR in August 2022. MvQuery is an easy-to-use query, report designer, and data extraction tool made for MultiValue databases. Distributed world-wide by Aptron and a network of independent software vendors, mvQuery is a workhorse reporting tool deployed for over 20 years in education, finance, manufacturing, distribution, non-profits, human resources, health services and other industries throughout the world.
Choosing the right Student Information System (SIS) in higher education involves navigating various hosting models. With terms like SaaS, in the Cloud, and on-premises being frequently used, it’s crucial to understand what each term means and how it impacts your institution. Let’s demystify these concepts.
