Core systems mapped to HERM

Four core institutional systems, plus three specialist systems: the student mobile app that sits in front of them, instructional planning that feeds the schedule, and student advising that supports students from first term to graduation, each described by the functions and features the major vendors offer and mapped to the HERM business capabilities it supports. Explore one system on its wheel, or compare all seven below to see where they overlap and what none of them cover. HERM describes what an institution does; these pages describe what each system does to help it. See the HERM Business Reference Model for the full set of capabilities.
