Questica Inc. launches InTuition Revenue model for higher education budget managers

Questica Inc., a business unit of GTY Technology Holdings Inc. (‘‘GTY’’) and a leader in budget solutions for publicly funded organizations, launches Questica InTuition, a revenue model to empower Higher Education budget managers with the capability to effortlessly forecast tuition revenue making use of the University of Delaware budget model.

Questica InTuition takes inputs, makes computations, and creates outputs for revenue modeling, states Craig Ross, CEO of Questica.

Higher education budget managers can now make complex forecasts quickly, and effortlessly – the Questica team is excited to offer this level of automation to its clients, Ross added.

Enrollment is a significant factor for education institutions and accurately predicting projected statistics allows for enhanced planning. The Questica team worked with an existing higher education client to create a model that was designed from a well-known academic paper, ‘‘University of Delaware Budget Model.’’ Questica InTuition uses historical enrolment patterns to estimate statistics like future enrollment per semester and determines budgets from tuition revenue that those enrollments will produce. The solution calculates several tuition modeling scenarios and generates accurate trend reports for tuition costs on go-forward enrollment.

Clients that utilize Questica InTuition will work with a Questica consultant who will execute the tool and provide guidance on its usage. The solution is presented as a set of computation templates within Questica’s Advanced Calculation Engine (ACE) module, offering a highly configurable system.

The Questica InTuition Revenue Model is offered as an additional device in the Higher Education Budgeting Software.
