History of the Collective

Chief information officers and technology leaders from a group of 33 HESS Consortium member institutions created an extensive HESS Collective Program RFI and chose Oracle Cloud for Higher Education as its new, common cloud-native enterprise systems platform with partners, Mythics, Drivestream and E&I.
RFIs, RFPs, and an extensive review of the vendor/system landscape, when approached by a single institution, are helpful in understanding what is possible and which software could best meet your needs. However, these processes are expensive to conduct for the institution and its community.
 
The HESS Consortium has taken a great deal of the burden out of your decision path. Having already validated the choice of Oracle Cloud, Drivestream, Mythics and E&I with a process engaging 33 of our private college members, your campus can move directly to validating the Oracle Cloud solution and how it can work for your institution. Your institution can immediately take advantage of the HESS Collective Program's negotiated pricing, contract terms and conditions, our standards methodology, and our collaborative cohort-based implementation options.
 
A pre-negotiated, exclusive group program provides our members with a host of benefits beyond what a single institution can achieve on its own.

Testimonial from a Steering Committee Member

        While the idea of sharing enterprise system resources across a multitude of independent institutions is not new, the advent of today’s multi-tenant cloud-based systems coupled with the HESS Consortium’s ingenuity in developing partner relationships and its vision of a grassroots efforts is a powerful combination.
