What is PES Software?
Gray Decision Intelligence PES software helps higher-education institutions make better-informed decisions that improve growth, efficiency, and student success. The Gray academic Program Evaluation System (PES) is the only platform that provides data by program on external markets and institutional performance.
PES Markets includes data on student demand, jobs, skills, and competition for over 1,500 academic programs. It predicts potential enrollment for your current and new programs. It corrects completions; for example, 200,000+ online students are usually shown at headquarters’ locations; Gray reports them where they live.
