PHILADELPHIA, Jan. 22, 2015 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- TargetX has been recognized for the 3rd consecutive year for making a positive difference on college campuses by the higher ed leaders who named it to University Business magazine's "Readers' Choice Top Products" for 2014.

The Readers' Choice Top Products has been announced online and in the January 2015 issue of University Business.
"TargetX is the first CRM solution Seaver College of Pepperdine University has implemented. It has allowed us to connect more effectively with prospective students and their families by providing timely, relevant communication related to their status in the admission process," says Mike Truschke, Dean of Admissions and Enrollment Management at Pepperdine University, in his nomination.

TargetX "clouds" are built on the powerful Salesforce.com platform and customized to the needs of higher education professionals through the team's extensive industry knowledge.
"TargetX is excited to receive continued recognition from University Business . Their nominations, along with our 175% organic growth in users during 2014, demonstrate that our solutions are making a difference on campuses," says Sasha Peterson, CEO of TargetX.
"In 2015, we are particularly excited to enhance and expand our integrated solutions in offices across campus to help colleges and universities build crucial relationships with their key constituencies, all leading back to what's most important--student success," continues Peterson.
University Business' Readers' Choice Top Products award program informs higher ed leaders about products their colleagues around the country are using to help their campuses excel in a variety of areas, such as technology, sustainability and academic instruction.
