HigherEdAdvisors: Overview
People Are Empowered By Informed Advice
"With HigherEdAdvisors assistance, the University was able to reach a successful contract with our selected vendor sooner than anticipated, and with more favorable pricing and terms than the University had expected to achieve. I only wish we would have gotten Bob Walling, President of HigherEdAdvisors, engaged earlier in our process. His services were valuable to Washburn University and should be considered as valuable to any organization navigating the uncharted waters of negotiating any small to multi-million dollar software and services contracts."
Dr. Jerry B. Farley, President, Washburn University
"Bob, You have been a valuable part of our EIS selection process and I will keep you in mind for future presentations and other opportunities. Any institution that thinks they can do it all themselves is only being shortsighted and I would be the first to tell them so. Having one or two extra pair of eyes from outside the institution is a big plus."
