Navigate uses predictive analytics to flag students at risk of academic difficulty or attrition and guides advisors in conducting structured, evidence-based advising appointments.

The company competes with Civitas Learning, Ellucian, and Salesforce Education Cloud in the advising technology space, and with Ruffalo Noel Levitz and SEM works in enrollment strategy. Its combination of research and technology gives EAB a unique value proposition among the institutions that value both strategic insight and operational tools.
