Purple Forge offers a unique and modern university service solution, that will allow universities to reach out to their student population in a way that engages them on the devices they currently carry: smartphones like the BlackBerry and iPhone and music players such as the WiFi-enabled iPod Touch.  One example of a service solution that impacts the whole university is student retention.  Universities annually face government funding shortfalls in the millions of dollars when students of record in September drop out before the November funding deadline.  Profiling students and understanding their issues is key to resolving this issue, and Purple Forge is building customized mobile applications for Universities that allow them to survey their student body for demographic and past scholastic information on their mobile devices that in turn will allow the university to broadcast tutorial and mentoring programs to students at risk.

For universities or student councils looking for a complete student engagement solution, Purple Forge offers a complete website services package, including website design or a port of your current website to an easy to update content management service, with integrated social networking, search engine optimization (SEO), and analytics to measure the success of the website.  Included in this, Purple Forge offers our mobile application and survey service pre-plugged into the finished website, offering you a level of differentiation not offered through other website hosting services.
