The two things every Slate project needs
TIME
Pro tip: Never ask a Slate captain if they're busy. Assume the answer is yes and bring them cookies. Whatever project you're working on, the odds are good there are (several) more waiting for your attention. Let Post-Captain lend a hand and free your team up to get more done.
KNOW-HOW
Slate is easy to learn and difficult to master. There will always be projects that require a little extra effort. Post-Captain can support you every step of the way, from strategy and project plan through to execution, testing, and documentation.

What We Do
implementations
Welcome to Slate! Supercharge your first year with Post-Captain. Inquiry forms, Events, Interviews, Deliver - tell us where you want to go and we'll help you get there. We'll be the Dumbledore to your Harry, the Yoda to your Luke, or even the Mary Poppins to your Banks kids, if that's your thing.
marketing
Everyone loves a good email campaign. OK, maybe not everyone, but at Post-Captain we LOVE them. Guide more of your prospects to inquiry, applicant, and deposit with sharp, tailored messaging. Add in some texting, segmented message groups, and clear tracking metrics, and you'll love your email campaign, too.
AUDITS
We like to think we offer a kinder, gentler audit than the Internal Revenue Service. Stop digging through your old emails and bad documentation to remember how something works or why it was built that way… especially if Slate started labeling that thing “Deprecated.” We’ll comb through your instance, highlight the good and the bad, and assemble a plan you can use to smooth out the rough spots. Yes, we’ll help you execute the plan too. And yes, we will probably ask you if your queries still “spark joy.“
portals
Slate provides unmatched power and flexibility in its Portal Editor. A good portal can completely transform how students and staff interact with your office. Whether you're building an admission staple, like an applicant or admitted student portal, or you've got something a little more creative in mind, Post-Captain can build it.
queries & reporting
SO. MUCH. DATA. There's (almost) no limit to what you can track in Slate. But how do you... you know, use it? Let us help you take charge of your data with Queries, Reports, and Voyages. Bring your nastiest challenges and leave the SQL to us.
ADVANCEMENT
Slate has given us the gift of giving. But that gift comes with some strings… funds, foundations, pledges, installments, and soft credits to name a few. We can help you straighten out all that data, size up your constituents, and seize your opportunities to make sure that yours gifts (and your donors) keep on giving.
general consulting
Sometimes you just need someone who speaks Slate. Want help training staff or creating documentation? Need a second opinion on your Upload Dataset mappings or Rules Editor? Not sure how to approach your search purchase, or how to add a new dataset and query base? We've got your back.
athletics, alumni, & arts: oh my!
Want to share Slate with other offices on campus? They're already jealous of you for all the fabulous things Slate can do. Time to get them in on the fun! Athletic recruiting, alumni interviewing, arts portfolios, faculty advising - we've seen it all. Let us help you share the wealth with partners across campus.
Configurable Joins
Does this beast really need a separate heading? It’s basically querying, right? Oh no my friend… it’s so much more. We offer hands-on configurable joins trainings for users of all skill levels that can show you how to get more out of queries, AND forms, AND dashboards, AND status portals, AND rules, AND just about everything in Slate.
