Cloud for Good is at the 7th Annual Higher Education Summit in San Diego, California. This Salesforce.org summit is where you can find education, innovation and community all in one place. Spanning over 3 days, this summit is a celebration where everyone comes together to share ideas, make new connections and ultimately, leave inspired.
Our team of Goodies are here to share our Salesforce knowledge, leading circle of success sessions, sharing our stories in the expo hall and meeting lots of great folks at happy hours.
Key Announcements from Day 1 Keynote:
Below are some highlights from the opening day’s keynote address at the Higher Ed Summit 2019:

HEDA is no longer HEDA: Introducing Education Data Architecture! (EDA)
Many of our clients leverage the previously-named Higher Education Data Architecture for their Salesforce implementations which shifts the focus of the platform to the student lifecycle.
Moving to EDA is as symbolic as it is practical – many organizations can benefit from this student-centric architecture, not just higher education institutions. Here at Cloud for Good, we leverage HEDA across various use-cases, from youth education programs to Advancement.
Gift Entry Manager (GEM) – Generally Available Summer 2019
For those of you in love with (H)EDA (see above announcement) and in Advancement, this is welcome news. GEM will provide some of the best, and additional, functionality traditionally leveraged through the Nonprofit Success Pack (NPSP) now in Education Cloud Architecture. Key features include a built-out single gift entry screen as well as an out of the box batch gift entry screen. Stay tuned to our blog where we’ll have a deep-dive on GEM to be posted shortly.
