SIS Product Niches Emerge from New Enrollment Grouping

Student Information Systems

Last Thursday, we talked about Populi in one of our company profiles. As mentioned in this post, Populi is mostly implemented in smaller religious-oriented institutions. With this update on a post, we wanted to drill down further into the student information system product category.

Instead of presenting the enrollment bands with the regular grouping (1-2,499; 2,500-4,999; 5,000-13,999; 14,000-29,999; 30,000 and over), we wanted to show institutions in groups of about 500 establishments. The idea behind this weird grouping was to see if a company has a niche in one or many enrollment groups. Please note that the graph represents North American HigherEd universities and colleges only. As you can see, some trends emerge from this data drill-down.

  • Populi is very popular in extemely small institutions. It represents 33% of market shares for establishments of 249 students or less.
  • Anthology is stronger in the 250-599 group (35% of market shares) while holding almost 20% in the 1-249 group and 15% in the 600-1,299 group.
  • Jenzabar is the number 1 solution in the 600-1,299 group and has almost 25% in the 1,300-2,299 group.
  • Although not the leader in the 600-1,299 group, PowerCAMPUS has the majority of its clients in this submarket.
  • Both Banner and Oracle’s market shares increase as the size of the institutions gets bigger. We have to be cautious with this affirmation for the bigger institution group. In fact, we notice that Banner has a reduced market share for the bigger institutions (just over 40% for the 4,500-7,499 and the 7,500-15,999 groups but approximately 38% for the 16,000+ group).
  • The older products (Anthology, Banner, Colleague, Jenzabar and, to a certain extent, Oracle) are present in all groups, even if they are more successful in certain submarkets. A much younger product, Workday is starting to be implemented in many enrollment groups.

Note: we consider a product as active even if only one module is implemented.

Who Are HigherEd’s Tech Leaders?

This year, I’ve been revisiting some of the classic business books: Blue Ocean Shift, Free, The Innovator’s Dilemma, Zero to One, and of course, Crossing the Chasm. That last one really got me thinking about early adopters. In tech markets, they’re the people (or in HigherEd, the institutions) who are comfortable taking risks, trying something new, and shaping the market ... Who Are HigherEd’s Tech Leaders?  Read More

Anthology’s Chapter 11 Filing: Breaking Up to Refocus

September 2025 marked a major turning point for Anthology, the owner of Blackboard and several other higher education technology platforms. The company filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy in the U.S. after efforts to sell itself or parts of its business outside of court failed. The filing is not a liquidation. Instead, it is a structured reorganization designed to ... Anthology’s Chapter 11 Filing: Breaking Up to Refocus  Read More

Rethinking Market Saturation in EdTech

Market saturation is a concept we often discuss at ListEdTech because it comes up frequently with our clients. Investors want to know if a market still has room to grow, while startups want to understand whether they are entering a space with opportunities or one that is already crowded. Last year, we explored saturation by ... Rethinking Market Saturation in EdTech  Read More
