The challenge

What has held ADXpert back?

ADXpert, a leading career counseling company, was stuck.

Although the company provides world-class employee satisfaction and reintegration services, its marketing efforts were not hitting the mark.

The team had the necessary expertise, but lacked the right tools and framework to share it with the world.

  • Grow & Develop
  • Cultivate & profit

The challenge

Navigating Digital Transformation in Education

This leading university sets the global standard for comprehensive language assessments, serving students worldwide through their English qualifications programs. However, their commitment to reaching every prospective student created unprecedented operational challenges.

Massive Contact Migration Challenge

Managing over 1 million contacts across multiple business units while maintaining data integrity and compliance standards. The existing SAP-CDC system couldn't support the sophisticated marketing personalization needed for global student recruitment.

Legacy Data Transformation Requirements

Years of accumulated student and prospect data existed in formats incompatible with modern marketing platforms. Complex data structures required comprehensive mapping and transformation to preserve critical educational journey information.

Integration Complexity Across Systems

The university needed seamless connectivity between SAP-CDC, HubSpot, and Amazon S3 to maintain operational continuity while enabling advanced marketing automation for both opted-in marketing communications and essential transactional emails.

Redefining Contact Management for Institutional Growth

The university needed more than just a simple data transfer, they required a comprehensive educational marketing ecosystem that would:

  • Enable personalized communication across the entire student lifecycle
  • Maintain strict data compliance for international education regulations
  • Support both marketing outreach and critical transactional communications
  • Provide automated data synchronization for continuous operations

How We Make It Happen

Comprehensive Data Architecture

 

1. Strategic Data Analysis & Mapping

We conducted an exhaustive analysis of the university's complex contact database, mapping every data point to ensure no critical student information would be lost. Our team identified key educational touchpoints and designed a mapping strategy that preserved the university's ability to track student progress and engagement across all qualification programs.

 

2. Advanced Data Transformation Implementation

We developed sophisticated transformation protocols that converted legacy SAP-CDC data into HubSpot-compatible formats while maintaining data integrity. This process required careful handling of educational compliance requirements and student privacy regulations across multiple international jurisdictions.

 

3. Seamless Integration Architecture

We implemented a robust integration connecting SAP-CDC, HubSpot, and Amazon S3 that enables real-time data synchronization. This architecture supports both immediate migration needs and future automated processes, ensuring the university's marketing operations remain current and effective.

 

4. Future-Ready Automation Framework

We established automated workflows that continuously transform and synchronize new contact data, eliminating manual processes and ensuring marketing teams always work with current, accurate information. This framework enables the university to focus on educational excellence while maintaining marketing effectiveness.

Main Results

The comprehensive migration and integration transformed the university's fragmented contact management into a unified, automated marketing ecosystem. Their marketing teams now operate with complete visibility into the student journey, enabling personalized communications that support both recruitment goals and educational success while maintaining the highest standards of data accuracy and compliance.

The Impact

What Success Looks Like

As our marketing & sales teams felt the need for a more intuitive CRM system to cover our lead generation process, we knew that Hubspot could do the job. Finding the right implementation partner was not easy though, given the very short deadline and complex Salesforce set-up. Elixir helped us by first and foremost outlining the process and relationships between objects and then tackling track by track with experts: data mapping, form & workflow migration, marketing set-up, sales set-up, and custom event management. The hard deadline was met and overall we are satisfied with the responsiveness and speed with which the Elixir experts accomplished their assignment
