From Days to Minutes: Transforming Admissions Workflows with Argos

The Challenge

At the Fashion Institute of Technology, the admissions team was drowning in manual processes and unreliable data. Each admissions cycle meant spending 2–3 days just to generate and send letters, a task that required multiple team members and constant IT involvement. Reporting was no better: an outdated, oversized report produced inconsistent numbers, leaving staff scrambling to verify results and fix errors. Decision-making lagged, workloads ballooned, and frustrations grew.

FIT needed a reliable way to take control, improve data accuracy, reduce turnaround time, and shift away from bottlenecked, IT-dependent workflows.

The Solution

With Argos, FIT flipped the script. What was once slow and reactive became fast, accurate, and empowering.

The admissions team replaced legacy reports with customizable, real-time dashboards built in Argos. Automated audit reports proactively flagged data issues before they caused problems. The Admissions Summary Dashboard provided a 3-year view of trends, applications, demographics, and outcomes, all accessible instantly and confidently.

Tasks that once required a team now take one person less than 10 minutes. Letter generation, tuition deposits, and other core processes were streamlined into single-click actions using Argos.

The Results

Argos didn’t just improve workflows; it transformed how FIT operates.

• Data accuracy jumped to 99%
• Report verification time dropped by up to 90%
• Instant access to clean, visual, decision-ready data

The once-clunky reporting system became a source of pride and confidence. Campus leadership now relies on the Admissions Summary Dashboard for quick visibility into institutional performance. And with democratized access to Argos, the admissions team no longer waits on IT; they build and customize reports themselves, accelerating decision-making across the board.

The shift has also freed IT from repetitive reporting requests, allowing the team to focus on strategic development and system growth. Argos has become a catalyst for innovation and cross-functional collaboration.

The Future

Argos continues to play a pivotal role in helping FIT become a smarter, faster institution. With Argos X on the horizon, the team is excited to expand access even further, especially among non-technical users who will soon be able to explore and manipulate data on their own using a drag-and-drop interface.

With Argos, FIT has modernized operations, reduced strain on IT, and put data-driven decision-making into the hands of more users. Evisions has helped them build a strong culture of data confidence, and they’re just getting started.
